If the recent shutdown of King’s Raid left you feeling downhearted, there's fantastic news on the horizon: it's making a triumphant return! Masangsoft has taken the reins, acquiring the IP for this beloved mobile RPG, and is gearing up for a full-scale revival after the game's closure on April 15th.
First hitting the scene in 2017, King’s Raid distinguished itself by steering clear of the typical gacha mechanics, opting instead for a more player-friendly hero collection system. Its real-time 3D battles, expansive narrative, and top-notch character design captured the hearts of players around the globe, especially in Japan and Southeast Asia. Yet, despite its popularity, operational challenges led to its unfortunate shutdown earlier this month.
But the story doesn't end there. Just days after the closure, Masangsoft announced their acquisition of King’s Raid on March 17th and confirmed that development for a global relaunch is already in motion. While the details remain a mystery for now, the company promises to share more soon.
Set in the enchanting continent of Orbis, King’s Raid follows the journey of Kasel, a young knight-in-training, as he searches for his lost brother. Joined by his childhood friend Frey, the magician Cleo, and bodyguard Roi, Kasel's adventure weaves through a tapestry of alliances, betrayals, and epic battles. The narrative reaches its climax in the first season's thrilling showdown, while the second season delves deeper into the Vespian Empire, enriching the game's lore.

King’s Raid offers a comprehensive RPG experience, complete with real-time PvP, colossal raid battles, and deep customization through hero awakening and gear progression.
While Masangsoft has yet to unveil the specific enhancements and updates for the relaunch, fans can look forward to a refreshed version of the game that honors its original charm.
