MapleStory shows off its upcoming Erel Light class in a new trailer

Nexon has released a new trailer for MapleStory’s upcoming Erel Light class, one of the bigger additions planned for the side-scrolling MMO this summer. The video is mostly a character showcase, giving players a look at the class’s combat style ahead of its release.

The trailer doesn’t add much beyond that, but it does confirm Nexon is continuing to spotlight the summer update lineup. MapleStory players have already been told to expect several major updates over the season, and Erel Light is clearly being positioned as one of the headline additions.

MapleStory, which has been running for years as a 2D side-scrolling MMORPG, regularly adds new classes as a way to shake up progression and class choice. For players who’ve been waiting to see Erel Light in action, this is the first real look at how the class is meant to play.

If Nexon shares a release date or more detailed breakdown of the class’s skills, that’ll likely matter more than the teaser itself. For now, this is mainly an early preview of what’s on the way this summer.
