If the end of King’s Raid left you feeling downhearted, there’s uplifting news on the horizon: the beloved mobile RPG is set to make a triumphant return. Masangsoft has taken the reins, acquiring the IP and announcing plans for a full-scale revival following the game's closure on April 15th.
Launched initially in 2017, King’s Raid distinguished itself by eschewing the conventional gacha mechanics for a more player-friendly hero collection system. Its real-time 3D battles, expansive narrative, and stunning character designs quickly cultivated a loyal following, especially in Japan and Southeast Asia. Despite these strengths, operational challenges led to its shutdown earlier this month.
However, Masangsoft, having finalized the acquisition on March 17th, is now poised to relaunch King’s Raid globally. Development is already in progress, with more detailed information on the relaunch expected to be disclosed soon.
Set in the rich world of Orbis, King’s Raid follows the adventures of Kasel, a young knight-in-training on a quest to find his missing brother. Joined by his childhood friend Frey, the magician Cleo, and the bodyguard Roi, Kasel navigates a tale replete with alliances, betrayals, and epic confrontations.
The narrative of the first season reaches its climax in a thrilling showdown, while the second season delves into the lore of the Vespian Empire, further enriching the game's storyline. For those seeking similar adventures, consider exploring our curated list of the best RPGs to play on Android!
In terms of gameplay, King’s Raid offers a comprehensive RPG experience where you assemble teams from a diverse array of heroes, categorized into seven distinct classes, each with unique roles and abilities. Engage in real-time PvP, massive raid battles, and enjoy deep customization through hero awakening and gear progression.
While Masangsoft has yet to unveil specific changes or enhancements for the relaunch, fans can anticipate a revitalized version of the game that honors its original charm. Stay updated on the relaunch schedule and participate in community events by joining the King’s Raid Discord channel.
