The update will introduce completely overhauled Warrior, Magician, Bowman, and Legends characters.

Additionally, players will be able to prove their battling skills and emerge as a champion in "Grand Battle," the new upcoming player-versus-player (PvP) mode. Grand Battle will only run during certain hours of the day and makes PvP mode easier by automatically matching players up based on their character's level.

For their efforts, champions - and those defeated in their Grand Battle challenges - will receive Gallant Emblems, which can be collected and exchanged for equipment. Participating players will also receive an EXP bonus for their efforts.

MapleStory is a free-to-play title.
