As the world’s most-played mobile multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA), it boggles the mind that Honor of Kings has not yet gone fully global. As of today, more players will be able to jump into the MOBA developed by Timi Studio Group and published by Level Infinite.
This includes Singapore, where Level Infinite is headquartered, in the latest development, as well as markets across Southeast Asia, Japan, Korea, Latin America, North America, and Europe that already has access to the game.
All 85 launch Heroes, plus the newly added Hero, Sun Ce, will be available to trial for free during the first month, giving players the flexibility to find the playstyle that suits them well. In-game activities can also be completed to give players full ownership of up to 28 Heroes and 21 skins to customise the experience.
While the launch is still fresh, there are already a bunch of notable collaborations lined up for the first launch month, including with SNK, Saint Seiya, Hello Kitty, and even Bruce Lee.
If you aren’t familiar with Honor of Kings, the MOBA is aimed at all ranges of devices, giving players the ability to enjoy the action and tension of fierce competition. The core development tenets include:
- Free to Play, Fair to Win – A level playing field where success is not determined by an ability to spend but a player’s skill and effort.
- Cutting Edge Accessibility for All – The game’s initial download has remained as small as possible for low-end devices, and the team is constantly integrating new device features that improve the overall experience.
- Captivating Characters and Compelling Content – An initial roster of 86 dynamic Heroes and even more Skins at launch will grow over the coming months, along with further in-game events that include collaborations with global and regionally relevant brands and celebrities.
- Welcoming Community through Best-in-Class Matchmaking – Honor of Kings prides itself on fostering a community where like-minded players can meet and compete against those from a similar skill level.
With support for 14 languages, a worldwide server network, a diverse roster of Heroes, and content and cultural references that will resonate with players from around the globe, Honor of Kings will bring players together as one wherever they are based.
Honor of Kings Esports
When it comes to a MOBA, there is always the esports element to consider as well. The Honor of Kings Invitational Season 2 Tournament will take place starting on June 29, with 13 teams from Southeast Asia, Brazil, Türkiye, MENA, LATAM and Western Europe converging at Sunway Velocity Mall in Kuala Lumpur to compete.
Up for grabs is a share of the US$300,000 prize pot and eight guaranteed slots for the Honor of Kings Invitational Midseason, which will form part of the Esports World Cup. The top 12 teams from around the world will duke it out for a total prize pool of US$3,000,000 during the key event.
