If you were disheartened by the closure of King’s Raid, there's uplifting news on the horizon: it's officially making a comeback. Masangsoft has secured the IP for this beloved mobile RPG and is gearing up for a comprehensive revival after its shutdown on April 15th.
Launched initially in 2017, King’s Raid distinguished itself by opting out of traditional gacha mechanics in favor of a more player-centric hero collection system. It captivated players with its real-time 3D battles, extensive storyline, and top-notch character designs, amassing a loyal following across the globe, especially in Japan and Southeast Asia. Despite its popularity, operational challenges led to its unfortunate closure.
However, just days following its end, Masangsoft announced its acquisition of King’s Raid on March 17th, and they are already hard at work on a global relaunch. While the details remain under wraps, a full schedule and more updates are anticipated soon.
Set on the continent of Orbis, King’s Raid follows the journey of Kasel, a young knight-in-training on a quest to find his lost brother. Accompanied by his childhood friend Frey, the magician Cleo, and bodyguard Roi, Kasel navigates through a narrative rich with alliances, betrayals, and epic confrontations.
The first season culminates in a thrilling climax, while the second delves into the Vespian Empire, expanding on the lore established earlier. For those seeking similar adventures, don't miss out on our list of the *best RPGs to play on Android!*

King’s Raid promises a complete RPG experience, featuring real-time PvP, large-scale raid battles, and extensive customization options through awakening and gear progression.
Masangsoft has yet to disclose specific changes or enhancements for the relaunch, but fans can look forward to a revitalized version of what made the original so special. To stay updated on the relaunch schedule and engage with the community, make sure to join the King’s Raid Discord channel.
