If you were saddened by the departure of King’s Raid, there's exciting news: it’s officially making a comeback. Masangsoft has acquired the IP for this beloved mobile RPG and is set to revive it following its shutdown on April 15th.
Originally launched in 2017, King’s Raid distinguished itself by opting out of the typical gacha mechanics and embracing a more player-friendly hero collection system. With its real-time 3D battles, expansive story, and stunning character design, it quickly garnered a dedicated fanbase, especially in Japan and Southeast Asia. Despite these strengths, operational challenges led to its closure earlier this month.
However, just days after its end, Masangsoft announced their acquisition on March 17th and confirmed that development for a global relaunch is already underway. While the specifics remain undisclosed, a full relaunch schedule is expected to be revealed soon.
Set in the continent of Orbis, King’s Raid follows the journey of Kasel, a young knight-in-training, as he searches for his missing brother. Accompanied by his childhood friend Frey, magician Cleo, and bodyguard Roi, Kasel navigates a rich storyline filled with alliances, betrayals, and epic battles.
The narrative of the first season builds to a thrilling climax, while the second season delves into the Vespian Empire, further expanding on the lore established earlier. For those looking for similar gaming experiences, don't miss out on our curated list of the best RPGs to play on Android.
In terms of gameplay, King’s Raid allows you to assemble teams from a diverse roster of heroes categorized into seven classes, each with unique roles and abilities. The game offers a comprehensive RPG experience, including real-time PvP, massive raid battles, and extensive customization through awakening and gear progression.
While Masangsoft has yet to disclose the specific changes or enhancements for the relaunch, fans can anticipate a refreshed version of what made the original game so special. To stay updated on the relaunch schedule and community events, be sure to join the King’s Raid Discord channel.
