There have been plenty of MapleStory-related announcements in recent weeks, and they haven’t stopped as the mobile MMO MapleStory M has also now received a big update, after its launch back in July this year. Additions include a new Dragon Master class, ‘Evan’, as well as new season events and mini-games.

In a press release sent out today by Nexon, Evan is described as the ‘last descendant of the Dragon Master’, who can summon the powerful Onyx Dragon, Mir, to battle and to fly around on by riding on his back. MapleStory M‘s Mini-Game Station will also receive four new mini-games, while a suite of new seasonal events have also been introduced for December and January. The full outline of these events can be found below, from the press release:
