According to information shared by the official account of “MapleStory Universe”, the project has recently received a whopping $100 million investment.
“MapleStory Universe” is an ecosystem developed by a subsidiary of Nexon, the developer of the well-known online game “MapleStory”. It aims to utilize blockchain technology to create a unified ecosystem consisting of various games such as “MapleStory N”, “MapleStory N World”, “MapleStory N SDK”, and “MapleStory N Mobile”. This ecosystem aims to enhance the widespread usability of in-game items and strengthen the core fun elements of the games.
Although “MapleStory Universe” did not specify the source of the funds, according to Zombit’s investigation, this investment is likely to come from its parent company, Nexon, rather than external investors. In fact, as early as last month, Nexon announced the fundraising plan for its subsidiary Nexon Universe, responsible for developing MapleStory Universe. According to the press release at that time, Nexon Universe plans to raise 125 billion Korean won, equivalent to 96 million US dollars, through the issuance of new shares from its parent company, Nexon.
As for the use of the funds, a representative from Nexon explained, “There is currently no public information regarding the timing of token issuance and service launch for MapleStory Universe. The official statement only mentions the plan to release a roadmap in the first half of 2024.”
