If you were disheartened by the closure of King’s Raid, there's fantastic news on the horizon: the beloved mobile RPG is set to make a grand return. Masangsoft has officially acquired the IP and is gearing up for a full-scale revival after the game's service ended on April 15th.
Launched initially in 2017, King’s Raid distinguished itself by eschewing the conventional gacha mechanics for a more player-friendly hero acquisition system. Its real-time 3D battles, engaging storyline, and meticulously crafted character designs garnered a loyal following, especially in Japan and Southeast Asia. Despite these strengths, operational challenges led to its unfortunate shutdown earlier this month.
However, just days after its closure, Masangsoft has announced plans to breathe new life into King’s Raid. The company secured the IP on March 17th and has already begun working on a global relaunch. While specific details remain undisclosed, an update on the relaunch schedule is expected shortly.
Set against the backdrop of the continent of Orbis, King’s Raid follows the adventures of Kasel, a young knight-in-training on a quest to find his missing brother. Accompanied by his childhood friend Frey, the magician Cleo, and the steadfast bodyguard Roi, Kasel navigates a world filled with alliances, betrayals, and epic confrontations.
The narrative of the first season culminates in a gripping climax, while the second season delves deeper into the Vespian Empire and further enriches the game's lore. For those craving similar adventures, don't miss out on our curated list of the best RPGs to play on Android!
In terms of gameplay, King’s Raid offers a comprehensive RPG experience, allowing you to assemble teams from a diverse roster of heroes, categorized into seven distinct classes with unique roles and abilities. Players can engage in real-time PvP, participate in massive raid battles, and customize their heroes through awakening and gear progression.
While Masangsoft has yet to unveil the specific enhancements for the relaunch, fans can anticipate a revitalized version of the game that preserves what made the original King’s Raid so special.
