Nexon Announces MapleStory Fest 2026

Ahh… Autumn. Falling leaves, stores stuffed with items for holidays ranging from Halloween to Valentine’s Day, and… game conventions. I don’t know what it is about the this time of year, but it does seem to be a good time for game-specific conventions… like, say… MapleStory Fest?

Nexon dropped a press release just a bit ago, revealing that MapleStory Fest will be returning to Los Angeles, CA on Saturday, October 17. The event will take place a The Hill at Universal City, bringing fans of the free-to-play MMORPG together for community activities, information on their favorite game, and special announcements.

Those that have attended the event before will notice a chance this year, a “theater-style” format, in which attendees will have a reserved seat during the main program tied to their ticket. In addition to news about the game, they can also expect music, the game’s first ever musiv video contest, and more. Purchasing a ticket will also grant players the ability to pre-order exclusive merch.

Tickets for the event will be available to purchase very soon, on Thursday, August 13 at 2:00 PM Pacific.
