Nexon (co-CEOs Kang Dae-hyun and Kim Jung-wook) announced on the 19th that they have applied the first winter update to their mobile MMORPG ‘MapleStory M,’ which includes the new character ‘Khali.’

‘Khali,’ who appears in ‘MapleStory M,’ offers a more exhilarating battle experience by separating movement and attack skills while maintaining her unique charm of mobility. In addition, to commemorate the ‘Khali’ update, various growth support events such as attendance, reaching specific levels, and content step-up will provide ‘Extreme Growth Potion,’ ‘Commander Loot Selection Box,’ ‘Authentic Symbol Dungeon Ticket,’ ‘Khali Damage Skin,’ and ‘Epsilon Guard Set Exchange Ticket.’

Along with this, the growth path up to level 200 is completely reorganized and the time required is shortened. This increases user convenience in the early stages of development, allowing them to enjoy the game with a focus solely on growth, and level 200 can be reached quickly at any time without events such as Burning.

In addition, when creating a new character, including ‘Khali,’ until February 11, 2026, it can be designated as a ‘Born to V’ character, and when the dedicated map mission is achieved with that character, level 200 can be reached in about 30 minutes. In addition, when a ‘Born to V’ character reaches level 200, a ‘Hyper Burning Booster’ is provided to support 1+4 level-ups up to level 250.

In addition, free job changes within the same job group are supported for characters level 200 or higher who have completed their 5th job advancement until January 14, 2026. Even after applying for a free job change, items stored in the bag and warehouse, Hyper Stats and HEXA Stats, Burning in progress, and job-common skills are maintained. In addition, the UI will be improved to make it easier to check character and map information in the game. ‘Nett's Pyramid’ integrates the difficulty levels and changes to single mode. The guide content is reorganized into a character-based ‘Level Guide.’

In addition, the ‘Aier Star and Wind Story’ event with the theme of the Aier region will be held until March 18, 2026. Experience and ‘Star Wind Coins’ are provided in daily play missions, daily expedition boss defeat missions, and the ‘Wind Path Rescue Team’ mini-game, and an event store is operated where the acquired coins can be exchanged for various game items.

More detailed information on the first winter update including the new ‘Khali’ character in ‘MapleStory M’ can be found on the official website.
