Spectrum Story of the Week 🔥
Legendary MMORPG MapleStory Comes to Avalanche
Here’s what you need to know:
💰 Gaming industry giant Nexon recently committed a substantial $100 million investment for the expansion of its web3 IP, MapleStory Universe.
🎮 MapleStory M, the original web2 MMORPG developed by Nexon & NSC, has achieved remarkable success since its launch in October 2016.
🔥 The mobile game clocked an impressive $600 million in cumulative sales, with a staggering $55 million in just 35 days after entering the competitive Chinese market.
✨ As if the IP’s success wasn't impressive enough, MapleStory has set its sights on web3 gaming & blockchain technology with MapleStory Universe.
🔺 MapleStory Universe has migrated to Avalanche for the network’s security and how successfully Avalanche has onboarded and supported various web3 games over the years.
🗣️ Ed Chang Head of Gaming at Ava Labs:
“I can’t imagine a bigger opportunity in web3 than what the Nexon Group is doing with MapleStory Universe, and we’re honored to power its next blockchain project with Avalanche.”
