May 14, 2026
MSU 2.0 will use blockchain and AI-powered 'vibe coding' to broaden participation in creating IP-driven content and to onboard additional Nexon IPs into an AI-powered, on-chain multiverse.
MSU 2.0 centers on two pillars: API access to MapleStory N gameplay and behavioral data for builders, and an on-chain builder economy on the Henesys chain for licensing, revenue settlement, and payments.
Sunyoung Hwang, CEO of Nexpace, frames MSU as evolving into an infrastructure for creation, commerce, and participation, expanding beyond a single game into a broader IP ecosystem.
