Nexon said on the 31st that it will hold a MapleStory brand day in collaboration with the kt wiz professional baseball team.
The brand day will take place on Apr. 11 and 12 at Suwon KT Wiz Park, with stadium and inning events built around MapleStory's signature characters Pink Bean and Yeti.
The stadium will be decorated with a MapleStory concept, and a variety of on-site events will run alongside. Through programs that visitors can join, the company plans to offer an experience that combines gaming and sports.
To mark the occasion, collaboration merchandise will also be unveiled. Various MD items using the MapleStory IP, including uniforms, caps, crossbody bags and ticket holders, will be released sequentially through kt wiz's online and offline stores.
In June last year, Nexon held a brand day with kt wiz as MapleStory IP's first sports collaboration, drawing attention with stadium production and events.
Through this brand day, the plan is to expand the fusion of the game IP and sports and strengthen the fan experience.
