Nexon has revealed additional details about MapleStory Classic World’s upcoming Forgotten Hollow update, scheduled for November 18, 2026. The expansion introduces a new region on Victoria Island, 34 quests for characters level 39 and above, a level 60 field boss named Rotten Mushmom, and several seasonal activities. New weapons, crafting options, and quality-of-life improvements are also planned.
The details come from Nexon’s November 12 update preview, which expands on the previously announced November and December content roadmap. Forgotten Hollow, Rotten Mushmom, and the Moon Bunny party quest were already confirmed, but the latest preview provides a more complete breakdown of the quests, enemies, rewards, and gameplay changes accompanying the November release.
Forgotten Hollow is a Classic World-exclusive region hidden within Victoria Island. Although characters of any level can enter, its primary challenges are designed for players level 39 and above. The area contains new shops, region-specific housing furniture, and locations including the Cave Fairy Store, Cave Fairy Sanctuary, The Faded Threshold, and Primeval Forest I.
Nexon has confirmed 34 new quests within Forgotten Hollow, including Echoes of the Past, A Step Toward Home, Myra’s Wish, and Shadow of the World Tree. The update also introduces new enemies such as Glowshroom, Sporewood, Rotten Mushroom, and Raffle.
Players will encounter ten new NPCs throughout the region, including Luma, Jaime the Explorer, Torin, Nyroth, Sylka, Myra, Tamya, Daniel the Scholar, Myen, and Zelya. These characters will provide opportunities to purchase essential items and consumables during exploration.
The region’s main combat encounter is Rotten Mushmom, a level 60 field boss. Defeating it will provide a chance to obtain valuable drops, although Nexon has not yet disclosed its complete reward table or encounter mechanics.
The November update also includes three seasonal activities. Grandma Benson’s Thanksgiving Pumpkin Pie event returns after originally appearing in MapleStory in 2009. Players must collect ingredients scattered throughout Maple World to help prepare pumpkin pies and earn rewards.
Nexon has showcased several furniture rewards associated with the event, including the Harvest Hay Bale, Harvest Feast Table, Roast Turkey Platter, and Pumpkin Harvest Wagon.
Another Thanksgiving activity features an escaped turkey that players can encounter while hunting across Maple World. Capturing the runaway bird will provide rewards, though the complete reward selection has not been revealed.
The Moon Bunny’s Rice Cake Party Quest will also return as a limited-time cooperative activity. Players can form groups of three and enter Henesys Park through Tory, where they must plant seeds and assist the Moon Bunny in preparing rice cakes. Participants can earn experience points and potentially obtain rewards such as the Moon Bunny Statue and Moon Bunny Hat.
Beyond the new region and events, Nexon has outlined several additional content and system changes. More quests are planned for Perion, Sleepywood, and the Ant Tunnel, while crafting progression will expand to Level 9.
Chat box tabs are being introduced to improve message organization, alongside revised party loot rules and additional weapons. However, Nexon has not yet explained the precise loot distribution changes or identified the full selection of new weapons.
Forgotten Hollow’s November 18 release date was established in Nexon’s October roadmap. The November 12 preview provides the newly revealed content details, but the publisher has not yet specified individual event start and end times or published the complete patch notes.
The update will expand the activities available to higher-level Classic World characters while introducing seasonal cooperative content and changes affecting everyday gameplay. Nexon says further information will be provided in the full patch notes ahead of the update.
