As the late October calendar turns, South Korean game developers are rolling out seasonal Halloween updates across major online titles. Nexon, Netmarble, Smilegate, Com2uS, Pearl Abyss, and Line-affiliated publishers have introduced limited-time events and content to drive engagement, bigdata.co.kr reported on October 31.
Halloween Seasonal Content and Event Rewards Across Major Korean Online Games
- Nexon: Transformed the ‘Folk Village’ map in Sudden Attack into a ‘Legends of Hometown’ theme until November 12, while adding a room-escape puzzle event to MapleStory.
- Netmarble: Launched a horror circus story event in Seven Deadly Sins: Origin and a pumpkin-themed event dungeon in Raven 2.
Nexon Updates Sudden Attack and MapleStory Maps
Nexon is altering familiar battlegrounds to capture the holiday traffic. In the first-person shooter Sudden Attack, the popular ‘Folk Village’ map and ‘3-Supply-Halloween’ zones have been overhauled with a ‘Legends of Hometown’ aesthetic through November 12. Players earn ‘Halloween Coins’ by eliminating opponents across these modified areas, which can then be traded for exclusive weaponry and tactical gear.
Parallel updates are active in MapleStory. Key towns, monster spawns, and elite foes now feature seasonal cosmetic overlays. Alongside these visual tweaks, Nexon launched a room-escape mini-game titled ‘Maple Escape: The Missing Nemi’ running until November 18. Participants clear four distinct chapters by tracking down clues and solving logic puzzles to secure specialized vanity items.
Netmarble and Smilegate Introduce Horror-Themed Dungeons
Netmarble has deployed a circus-themed operational loop for its open-world RPG Seven Deadly Sins: Origin. Titled ‘Freaky Mighty Circus’, the event tasks users with navigating horror-tinged scenarios and clearing boss encounters to stockpile exchangeable goods. An additional matching puzzle mini-game lets users combine character dolls to rack up high scores.
In Netmarble’s MMORPG Raven 2, a dedicated event dungeon named ‘Pumpkin Ghost Candy Village’ remains open until November 11. Participants harvest ‘Pumpkin Pieces’ to purchase rare-tier equipment items and growth progression materials. Meanwhile, Smilegate’s Eclipse: The Awakening introduced seven concurrent celebration systems, including special directives, login bonuses, and a world boss encounter against ‘Halloween Dodoru’.
Com2uS, Pearl Abyss, and Line Games Expand Holiday Rotations
Com2uS has activated daily missions across Summoners War: Sky Arena and Aimo. In Sky Arena, clearing routine tasks yields Halloween gift boxes containing up to eight distinct rewards, alongside weekly dark-and-light attribute secret dungeons. Aimo relies on resource collection loops to fabricate skeletal and wolf masks alongside Grim Reaper and Frankenstein avatar costumes.
Pearl Abyss integrated a ‘Midnight Sweetness’ festival into Black Desert Mobile. Users gather sweet candy baskets and pumpkin decorations to populate an in-game compendium that grants combat experience buffs and elevated drop rates. Mini-games like pumpkin smashing and ghost hunting accompany these collection goals.
Rounding out the updates, Line Games deployed a bingo board framework in Genesis Mobile. Clearing operational criteria grants tickets for a grid-based reward system, unlocking goblin fire, pumpkin head, and devil horn cosmetic skins.
