King’s Raid is officially making its return, as Masangsoft has announced the schedule for the game’s Global Closed Beta Test (CBT). Unlike previous limited tests, this CBT is open to regular players worldwide, marking an important milestone in the long-awaited revival of the beloved RPG.
King’s Raid Global CBT Schedule and Platforms
The King’s Raid Global Closed Beta Test will run from January 29 to February 4, 2026. During this period, selected players will be able to experience the rebuilt version of the game across multiple platforms:
- Android
- iOS
- PC via Steam
This test supports cross-platform testing, allowing Masangsoft to evaluate performance and stability across both mobile and PC environments.
How to Register for King’s Raid Closed Beta
Players interested in joining the CBT must register through the official King’s Raid website by submitting their email address. No additional steps are required at the time of registration.
Important registration details:
- Invitation emails will be sent on January 26, 2026
- Only selected applicants will receive access
- Store download links are not active at the time of writing
Platform Selection Is Important
One key detail players should note is platform selection during registration. Players who registered earlier are automatically categorized as Steam participants.
If you wish to test King’s Raid on Android or iOS, you must:
- Reapply for the CBT
- Select Android or iOS explicitly during registration
Failing to do so may limit your access to the PC version only.
A Rebuilt King’s Raid Experience
This closed beta focuses on a rebuilt version of King’s Raid, promising noticeable improvements while staying true to its roots. According to Masangsoft, players can expect:
- Improved graphics
- Better overall performance
- The same strategy-based real-time combat that defined the original game
The goal of this CBT is to test stability, balance, and overall player experience before moving closer to a full relaunch.
The History Behind King’s Raid’s Revival
Originally developed and published by Anic Inc., King’s Raid ran successfully for over eight years before officially shutting down on March 15, 2025. However, in the same month, South Korean developer and publisher Masangsoft acquired the King’s Raid IP.
This acquisition came with the announcement of a full revival project, promising a refreshed experience for both returning veterans and new players. While an initial relaunch window was hinted at for 2025, Masangsoft has opted to start with a global CBT instead, allowing for valuable player feedback and further polishing.
What Comes Next?
Although this closed beta does not confirm a final release date, it represents a significant step toward King’s Raid’s official return. With cross-platform support and global access, the CBT sets a solid foundation for the game’s future.
Players eager to revisit Orvel—or experience it for the first time—should keep an eye on their inbox and prepare for the test starting January 29, 2026.
