If you were disheartened by the end of King’s Raid, there's fantastic news on the horizon: the beloved mobile RPG is making a triumphant return. Masangsoft has acquired the intellectual property and is gearing up for a full-scale revival after the game's closure on April 15th.
Launched back in 2017, King’s Raid distinguished itself by eschewing the typical gacha mechanics for a more player-friendly hero collection system. Its real-time 3D battles, expansive narrative, and top-notch character designs earned it a loyal following, especially in Japan and Southeast Asia. Despite these strengths, operational challenges led to its unfortunate shutdown earlier this month.
However, Masangsoft swiftly stepped in, finalizing the acquisition on March 17th and confirming that development for a global relaunch is already in progress. While specific details remain under wraps, a full 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 navigates a rich storyline filled with alliances, betrayals, and epic battles.
The narrative of the first season culminates in a high-stakes showdown, while the second season delves into the Vespian Empire, further expanding the game's lore. For those seeking similar experiences, don't miss out on our 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 skillsets. King’s Raid promises a comprehensive RPG experience, featuring real-time PvP, massive raid battles, and extensive customization through awakening and gear progression.
While Masangsoft has yet to disclose the specific changes or enhancements for the relaunch, fans can anticipate a refreshed version of what made the original game so special.
