If you were saddened by the departure of King’s Raid, I bring good news as it’s officially making a comeback. Masangsoft has acquired the IP for the beloved mobile RPG and is gearing up for a full-scale revival following its shutdown earlier this month on April 15th.
Originally launched in 2017, King’s Raid distinguished itself by opting out of the typical gacha mechanics, favoring a more player-friendly hero collection system. With its real-time 3D battles, expansive story, and high-quality character design, it cultivated a dedicated fanbase worldwide, especially in Japan and Southeast Asia. Despite these strengths, operational challenges led to its closure. However, just days later, Masangsoft stepped in with plans to revive King’s Raid. The company finalized its acquisition on March 17th and confirmed that development for a global relaunch is already underway. While specifics remain under wraps, more detailed information is expected to be released soon.
Set in the continent of Orbis, King’s Raid narrates the journey of Kasel, a young knight-in-training seeking his missing brother. Alongside his childhood friend Frey, magician Cleo, and bodyguard Roi, Kasel’s adventure unfolds through a rich storyline filled with alliances, betrayals, and epic battles. The first season culminates in a high-stakes showdown, while the second season delves into the Vespian Empire, expanding on the lore introduced earlier in the game.

In terms of gameplay, you assemble teams from an extensive roster of heroes categorized into seven classes, each with unique roles and skillsets. King’s Raid promises a comprehensive RPG experience, featuring real-time PvP, massive raid battles, and deep customization options through awakening and gear progression.
Masangsoft has yet to reveal what changes or improvements the relaunch will include, but fans can anticipate a refreshed version of what made the original RPG special.
