If you were disheartened by the end of King’s Raid, there's good news on the horizon: the beloved mobile RPG is making a comeback. Masangsoft has acquired the intellectual property and is gearing up for a full-scale revival after the game's shutdown on April 15th.
King’s Raid, which first hit the scene in 2017, differentiated itself by eschewing traditional gacha mechanics in favor of a more player-friendly hero collection system. Its real-time 3D battles, expansive story, and meticulously crafted characters earned it a loyal following, especially in Japan and Southeast Asia. Despite its success, operational challenges led to its closure earlier this month.
However, Masangsoft stepped in swiftly, finalizing the acquisition on March 17th and confirming that development for a global relaunch is already in progress. While specifics remain undisclosed, a detailed relaunch schedule is expected to be announced soon.
Set in the continent of Orbis, King’s Raid follows the journey 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 bodyguard Roi, Kasel's adventure unfolds through a compelling narrative filled with alliances, betrayals, and epic confrontations.
The first season culminates in a high-stakes showdown, while the second season delves into the Vespian Empire, further enriching the game's lore. If you're seeking similar experiences, consider exploring this curated list of the best RPGs to play on Android!
In terms of gameplay, you'll assemble teams from a diverse roster of heroes categorized into seven classes, each with unique roles and skill sets. King’s Raid promises a comprehensive RPG experience, featuring real-time PvP, massive raid battles, and extensive customization options through awakening and gear progression.
While Masangsoft has yet to detail the changes and improvements for the relaunch, fans can anticipate a revitalized version of the original game. To stay updated on the relaunch schedule and participate in community events, be sure to join the King’s Raid Discord channel.
