MapleStory has been live in South Korea since 2003, isn’t it about time it got a sequel? Nexon and developer Wizet seem to agree: MapleStory 2 is reportedly scheduled to be released in 2014.
MMO Culture reports MapleStory 2 to be a ‘full 3D (quarter view)’ game, which perhaps points to a similar camera style we see in games like Ragnarok Online. Considering MapleStory‘s 2D engine and visuals, this would be a not-very-surprising step up.
The game’s official Korean website is up, but sorely lacking in information. There is a tiny teaser trailer to be seen in the clouds, if you can find it.
Whether or not MapleStory 2 will make a welcome addition to the modern MMO space is a big question mark for the time being, but it’s been a long time coming with the original game having reached 10 years in service this year.
