King’s Raid Returns After Masangsoft Acquisition

If you were saddened by the departure of King’s Raid, rejoice as it’s officially making a comeback. Masangsoft has acquired the IP for this beloved mobile RPG and is gearing up for a full-scale revival following the shutdown on April 15th.

Originally launched in 2017, King’s Raid distinguished itself by opting for a player-friendly hero collection system over the conventional gacha mechanics. Its real-time 3D battles, expansive storyline, and high-quality character designs attracted a dedicated fanbase, particularly in Japan and Southeast Asia. However, operational challenges led to its unfortunate closure earlier this month.

But there's a silver lining: Masangsoft stepped in just days after the shutdown, finalizing the acquisition on March 17th and confirming that development for a global relaunch is already in progress. While specific details are still under wraps, an updated schedule is expected to be revealed soon.

Set in the continent of Orbis, King’s Raid follows the story 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 journey unfolds through a rich narrative filled with alliances, betrayals, and epic battles.

The first season's narrative culminates in a high-stakes showdown, while the second season delves into the Vespian Empire, expanding on the lore introduced earlier in the game. If you're craving similar adventures, don't miss out on our curated list of the best RPGs to play on Android!
