King’s Raid Returns After Masangsoft Acquisition

If you were saddened by the departure of King’s Raid, I bring good news—it's officially making a comeback. Masangsoft has acquired the IP for this beloved mobile RPG and is gearing up for a full-scale revival following its shutdown on April 15th.

Originally launched in 2017, King’s Raid distinguished itself by opting out of the typical gacha mechanics and instead offering a more player-friendly hero collection system. With its real-time 3D battles, an expansive storyline, and high-quality character designs, it garnered a dedicated fanbase around the globe, especially in Japan and Southeast Asia. Despite these strengths, operational challenges led to its closure earlier this month.

Now, just days after its closure, Masangsoft has stepped in with plans to revive King’s Raid. The company finalized its acquisition on March 17th and confirmed that development is already underway for a global relaunch. While specifics are still under wraps, more updated information is expected soon.

Set in the continent of Orbis, King’s Raid follows the story of Kasel, a young knight-in-training on a quest to find his missing brother. Accompanied by his childhood friend Frey, magician Cleo, and bodyguard Roi, Kasel’s journey unfolds through a rich narrative filled with alliances, betrayals, and epic battles.

The first season's narrative culminates in a high-stakes showdown, while the second season delves into the Vespian Empire and expands on the lore introduced earlier in the game. If you're looking for similar experiences, be sure to check out this list of the best RPGs to play on Android!

In terms of gameplay, players build teams from a diverse roster of heroes categorized into seven classes, each with unique roles and skillsets. You're promised a complete RPG experience with real-time PvP, massive raid battles, and extensive customization options through awakening and gear progression.

Masangsoft has yet to disclose what changes or improvements the relaunch will bring, but you can anticipate a refreshed take on what made the original RPG special. If you're interested in following the relaunch schedule and community events for King’s Raid, be sure to join their Discord channel.
