King’s Raid set to return following Masangsoft’s acquisition

Beloved RPG prepares for second wind

King’s Raid set to return following Masangsoft’s acquisition
  • King’s Raid ended its service last week on April 15th
  • Masangasoft has picked it up to revive it once again
  • Full relaunch schedule to be revealed soon

If you were saddened by the departure of King’s Raid, I bring good news as it’s officially coming back. Masangsoft has acquired the IP for the popular mobile RPG and is preparing a full-scale revival following the shutdown earlier this month.

Originally launched in 2017, King’s Raid stood out for ditching the usual gacha mechanics in favour of a more player-friendly hero collection system. With its real-time 3D battles, expansive story, and high-quality character design, it built a dedicated fanbase worldwide, particularly in Japan and Southeast Asia. Despite its strengths, operational issues led to its closure on April 15th.

Now, just days later, Masangsoft has stepped in with plans to bring King’s Raid back. The company finalised its acquisition on March 17th and confirmed development is already underway for a global relaunch. Specifics are still under wraps, but more updated information is expected soon. 

Set in the continent of Orbis, King’s Raid tells the story of Kasel, a young knight-in-training searching for his missing brother. Alongside childhood friend Frey, magician Cleo, and bodyguard Roi, Kasel’s journey unfolds across a rich storyline filled with alliances, betrayals, and epic battles.
