Nexon has announced that they are bringing their hit MapleStory franchise to Facebook. MapleStory Adventures already saw 30,000 players in its beta; considering the 100 million players of MapleStory worldwide, the sky may be the limit for the franchise.
MapleStory Adventures has the potential to make a huge impact and really shake things up in the social games space, said Daniel Kim, CEO of Nexon America. While this does not represent a shift from our core business, we definitely see the Facebook space as a promising market for our games, starting with MapleStory, one of our most popular titles not just in North America but in online gaming worldwide.
Nexon also announced that they are pushing MapleStory Cygnus Knights Edition for the iOS platform. This follows the successful launch of the first MapleStory iOS game from Nexon Mobile.
