If you were disheartened by the recent closure of King’s Raid, there's good news on the horizon: it's set to make a triumphant return. Masangsoft has acquired the intellectual property for this beloved mobile RPG and is gearing up for a full-scale revival, following its shutdown on April 15th.
King’s Raid, which first hit the scene in 2017, differentiated itself by opting for a player-friendly hero collection system instead of the typical gacha mechanics. Its real-time 3D battles, expansive narrative, and top-notch character design attracted a dedicated following, especially in Japan and Southeast Asia. Despite its popularity, operational challenges led to its unfortunate closure earlier this month.
However, Masangsoft swiftly stepped in, having finalized the acquisition on March 17th. They are now diligently working on a global relaunch, with development already in progress. While details remain under wraps, fans can anticipate a full disclosure of the relaunch schedule soon.
Set against the backdrop of 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, magician Cleo, and bodyguard Roi, Kasel's adventure weaves through a rich tapestry of alliances, betrayals, and epic confrontations.
The narrative of the first season culminates in a thrilling climax, while the second season delves deeper into the lore with the Vespian Empire. For those looking for similar experiences, check out our list of the best RPGs to play on Android!

The game promises a comprehensive RPG experience, including real-time PvP, large-scale raid battles, and extensive 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 what made King’s Raid a standout title. To stay updated on the relaunch schedule and community events, make sure to join the King’s Raid Discord channel.
