MapleStory is described as a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game (MMORPG) with more than 180 million registered players (at the time of reporting). MapleStory has already been out and playable for 20 years and has a big fan base.

Nexon stated that it will allow players and creators to develop and manage NFTs in the virtual world, giving them digital ownership of in-game items in the game. Beginning with MapleStory N, Nexon will add the MapleStory-based IP and dApp support before introducing the use of dApps and NFTs to the rest of the MapleStory Universe. 

Urvit Goel is the vice president of global games and platform development at Polygon Labs. Ryan Wyatt is the President of Polygon Labs.

The First Descendant is described as a sci-fi game with 4-player co-op, multiple playable characters, and battles against giant boss monsters. Nexon previously debuted the game as “Project Magnum” before revealing the actual title. The company also released DNF Duel earlier this year. 

The first beta for the game will launch on October 20th and run on Steam for a week. It will feature ten playable characters. Though the beta will be on Steam, The First Descendant launches on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, and Xbox One.
