The 2025 Summer Showcase 'Assemble' will start on June 7th at 4 PM KST, and you can participate both offline (on-site ticket purchase at Jangchung Gymnasium, live broadcast at CGV) and online (MapleStory official YouTube channel). Offline on-site ticket sales start on May 20th at 8 PM KST, and CGV live broadcast ticket sales start on May 22nd/26th at 6 PM KST depending on the theater. User invitation events will also be held, and 6 VIP sauna 3-hour passes will be provided for online viewers.

Director Kim Chang-sub stated that the name of the showcase reflects the desire to provide as many updates as users want and for many users to enjoy them together. The word 'Assemble' can be speculated to mean the formation of a new alliance, skill cores that have not yet been released, Union Champion, Hero job group, or the fruition of other content.

The 22nd Anniversary 2nd Update will run for about a month, with Superpower Yut Nori, Arbiter of the Azure Sky, Maple Racing, and Ssa Jeon Gi mini-games rotating. If you achieve 1,000 victory points in each mini-game, you can receive 2,000 Superior EXP Exchange Tickets as an additional reward. Tower of Dimension Season 2 will be divided into two maps, with ranking rewards and completion rewards provided. World Best Punch King Season 3 is back, and the 1st place reward and 2nd-10th place chair rewards for each job will be provided equally. The Summer Countdown event will run from May 22nd to June 18th, and you can pre-establish 15 summer gifts in a check-in format.

The above is all the content for the event that runs until the summer update on June 19th. The 22nd Anniversary 1st event overlapped with Haste, becoming hunting-focused, and the coin shop only had hunting items, which is disappointing. The Summer Countdown event only has practical rewards, giving the feeling of supplementing the 22nd Anniversary check-in event, but the lack of a coin shop is disappointing.

The item information window has been improved, with hiding detailed enhancement information set as the default. Improvements have been made to the enhancement UI, quick menu expansion, and Meso Market UI, which had incomplete aspects in past updates. Character interactions have been added to some furniture in Maple Home, and MVP benefits have been improved, extending Quick Pass benefits to the Tenebris region. Improvements to the Dimensional Library include the addition of video NPCs, a record archive function, the Talahat story, Legion Commander story, and Arcane River dubbed version.

The Cash Shop UI has been revamped, improving the layout, categories, and convenience, and the Power Elixir package purchase process has been improved. The storage has been improved, adding the ability to move multiple items at once. New Royal Style items, Special Label, new coordination items, Prefect/Librarian hair, and Liner face will be added.

The Premium PC Cafe event will run from May 23rd to June 19th. Director Kim Chang-sub said that he does not feel the need to divide the boundaries of PC cafe events, but he stated that he plans to hold grand PC cafe events during the summer and winter seasons.

We took the time to speculate about the introduction of the Assemble showcase scheduled for June and the expected update news. The 22nd Anniversary event, except for Haste, was just a time for hunting, which is disappointing. The showcase is just around the corner, so we'll have to endure it by eating eggplant side dishes for the remaining period.
