MapleStory Classic World Launches October 21, Founder’s Access Starts October 6

NEXON has set a launch date for MapleStory Classic World. The upcoming MMORPG is scheduled to go live on October 21, 2026, following the end of its second Closed Online Test last week.

Players who want in earlier will be able to buy Founder’s Packages starting September 2. Those packages include Founder’s Access, which begins October 6, about two weeks before the full launch.

The dates were shared in a note from Hanbyeol Oh, Chief Product Officer of Global MapleStory at NEXON, also known to players as Inkwell. The official post also includes an infographic breaking down activity from Closed Online Test #2.

NEXON highlighted several test stats, including quests cleared, citizenship content participation, items purchased, class and job popularity, and server-first achievements. The post doesn’t go into new launch features in detail, but it gives testers a look back at how players spent their time during the latest test phase.

For now, the key dates are simple: Founder’s Packages on September 2, Founder’s Access on October 6, and the full MapleStory Classic World launch on October 21, 2026.
