<b>MapleStory Universe Expands with Launch of MSU Space and Global Game Jam Competition</b>

Nexpace's blockchain-powered expansion of the iconic MapleStory franchise has made significant strides with the launch of MSU Space, a dedicated builder hub developed in collaboration with AI-powered game creation platform Verse8. This initiative is part of MSU 2.0's growth plan following its first year of live operations.

MapleStory Vibe Camp, a global game jam competition, has also been launched, offering a total prize pool of $60,000 in NXPC. The campaign is open to builders worldwide and invites users to create original games using official MapleStory resources. Participants will be able to build and publish their projects directly through MSU Space.

The launch reflects the broader objectives of MSU 2.0, which aims to transform MapleStory from a traditionally closed-game IP into a programmable ecosystem where communities can create new experiences, applications, and services using MapleStory IP.
