Nexon’s MapleStory N is inching closer to launch, and players now have even more reasons to get ready. The game has partnered with OpenSea to offer exclusive collectibles through a limited-time minting event. At the same time, pre-download has officially gone live, giving Maplers a head start before the game releases on May 15, 2025.

What is MapleStory N?

MapleStory N is the latest entry in the MapleStory Universe, expanding the iconic MMORPG franchise into web3. The game introduces new mechanics, player-owned assets, and other blockchain-powered features while keeping the familiar gameplay that long-time fans know. Whether you’re here for the nostalgia or the new play-to-earn possibilities, MapleStory N aims to offer both.

OpenSea x MapleStory Universe Mint Details

As part of the countdown to release, Nexon has launched an MSU Scroll SBT mint in collaboration with OpenSea. The mint started on May 6, 2025, and will run until May 12, 2025. Players who mint the collectible will receive:

• An OpenSea Chair
• An NXPC Headband
• MSU Scroll SBT 

These are more than just cosmetic items, they’re limited-edition rewards that will only be available through this event. Minting has already drawn a huge response. In just the first 24 hours, over 280,000 SBTs were claimed, with around 12,000 to 13,000 being minted per hour. Based on this pace, the total is expected to hit somewhere between 1 to 2 million before the mint ends.

The Limited Collectibles you can Mint

To join, players simply need to log in to OpenSea, connect their wallet (which should also be linked to their MapleStory Universe account), and mint an MSU Scroll. A small gas fee applies, paid in AVAX. Once minted, the in-game rewards will be airdropped before launch day.

Pre-Download Now Live

Alongside the mint, MapleStory N has opened pre-downloads to the public. Players can now visit the countdown page, connect their wallet, and download the game. Keep in mind that the download size is quite large, upwards of 22GB, so make sure there’s enough space on your device.
