If the end of King’s Raid left you feeling downhearted, there's fantastic news on the horizon: the beloved mobile RPG is making a triumphant return. Masangsoft, having acquired the IP, is now steering the full-scale revival of the game, which shut down just last week on April 15th.
Launched originally in 2017, King’s Raid distinguished itself by eschewing the common gacha mechanics in favor of a more player-friendly hero collection system. Its real-time 3D battles, extensive narrative, and superior character design attracted a loyal following, especially in Japan and Southeast Asia. Despite its popularity, operational challenges led to its closure. However, Masangsoft, which finalized the acquisition on March 17th, is now actively developing a global relaunch. While details are still forthcoming, a full schedule is expected to be unveiled soon.
Set in the enchanting world of Orbis, King’s Raid follows the adventures of Kasel, a young knight-in-training, on his quest to find his missing brother. Accompanied by his childhood friend Frey, the magician Cleo, and the bodyguard Roi, Kasel navigates a saga filled with alliances, betrayals, and epic confrontations. The narrative peaks in the first season with a high-stakes showdown, and the second season delves deeper into the lore of the Vespian Empire.

In terms of gameplay, King’s Raid offers the opportunity to assemble teams from a diverse roster of heroes, categorized into seven distinct classes, each with unique roles and abilities. Players are treated to a comprehensive RPG experience, featuring real-time PvP, massive raid battles, and in-depth customization through awakening and gear progression.
While Masangsoft has kept the specifics of the relaunch under wraps, fans can anticipate a revitalized version of what made the original game special. To stay updated on the relaunch schedule and community events, be sure to join the King’s Raid Discord channel.
