LOS ANGELES – July 27, 2023 – MapleStory M, Nexon’s free-to-play mobile MMORPG, is celebrating its fifth anniversary with a host of new content and events, a new region, exciting rewards, and a new job - Kanna!
 

It's time to welcome Kanna, Maple World's first Spirit Walker!
 

A remarkable Spirit Walker and student of the Great Spirit Walker, Tsuchimikado Haruaki of Izumo: it's Ayanokouji Kanna!
 

Play as Kanna, who wields great spiritual power behind a cute face, and rescue Princess Sakuno. The introduction of the magician class Kanna comes with exciting events including the Mega Burning Plus Event, the Kanna Growth Mission, and the Grow with Kanna event.
 

Mobile Maplers can also explore Kanna’s homeland - Momijigaoka! Kanna uses mana instead of MP, and her summons are super helpful to her party members. You'll even have Kanna's adorable fluffy companion, Haku, by your side at all times!
 

That's not all! A special event, mini-games, and Coin Shop have been created especially for Mobile Maplers so that they can join in MapleStory M’s fifth birthday celebrations. Receive powerful buffs, items, and Event Coins from the masters at the ‘Legendary Sages’ event, as well as daily attendance rewards that change every day!

 

MapleStory M’s fifth-anniversary update comes packed with exciting events and rewards for Mobile Maplers to take part in. These celebratory events include:
 

  • Legendary Sages: Earn powerful buffs, items, and Event Coins to level up by completing a series of mini-games. Don’t forget to visit Sage Mr. Kim for a special gift!
  • Mega Burning Plus Event: A selected character can earn an extra two levels with every level-up (Lv. 1-140).
  • Maple M Burning Event: Kanna characters can earn an extra level with every level up (Lv. 140-198)!
  • Kanna Growth Mission: Gain extra rewards for Kanna by completing missions.
  • Grow With Kanna: Obtain extra EXP for another character when Kanna levels up. The whole team gets a boost!
