If the end of King’s Raid left you feeling downhearted, there's fantastic news to lift your spirits: it's making a triumphant return! Masangsoft has secured the intellectual property rights for this beloved mobile RPG and is gearing up for a comprehensive revival after its closure on April 15th.
First launched in 2017, King’s Raid distinguished itself by eschewing traditional gacha mechanics for a more player-friendly hero acquisition system. Its real-time 3D battles, engaging narrative, and top-notch character designs helped it amass a loyal following, especially in Japan and Southeast Asia. Operational challenges, however, led to its unfortunate shutdown earlier this month.
But hope springs eternal, as Masangsoft has now stepped in to breathe new life into King’s Raid. The company completed its acquisition on March 17th and has already begun work on a global relaunch. While details are still under wraps, a full schedule of updates is anticipated shortly.
The game is set in the vast continent of Orbis, where you follow 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 the bodyguard Roi, Kasel's adventure weaves through a tapestry of alliances, betrayals, and epic confrontations.
The narrative of the first season builds to a thrilling climax, while the second season delves into the lore of the Vespian Empire. 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 an extensive roster of heroes categorized into seven classes, each offering unique roles and abilities. King’s Raid promises a complete RPG experience with real-time PvP, large-scale raid battles, and in-depth customization options through awakening and gear progression.
While Masangsoft has yet to unveil specific changes or enhancements for the relaunch, fans can look forward to a revitalized version of the original RPG. To stay updated on the relaunch schedule and participate in community events, make sure to join the King’s Raid Discord channel.
