Honor of Kings is a LoL clone from China that has generated the most revenue of any video game in 2022. Now the developers are working on Honor of Kings World, an open-world game with a AAA budget and stylish graphics.

What is Honor of Kings World? That’s not really clear yet. It should be a live service game and offer a large, open game world that addresses Chinese mythology:

  • The fights look very action-packed in the trailers. You must actively dodge to avoid enemy heavy attacks.
  • There are at least five different ways to play, as the trailers feature a single-sword swordsman, a double-sword woman swordsman, a gunner, a bow-and-arrow ranger, and a mage. It is still unclear whether these are fixed classes or characters.
  • You will be able to glide, swim and use double jumps in the game world.
  • The game world is colorful but very nicely designed.
  • You seem to be able to experience the game alone or in co-op. Overall, it’s a bit reminiscent of the “Monster Hunter” series

    • Novelist Liu Cixin, who wrote the first Chinese cyberpunk novel in 1989 and the sci-fi novel The Three-Body Problem, is said to be involved in the world-building and story. However, he has been criticized for his views on internment camps in China and statements on the oppressed Uyghur minority (via theguardian.com).

    What’s new now? For the first time, a trailer has been released showing multiplayer battles. In each scene, three players are on the move at the same time. It is unclear whether this already corresponds to the maximum number of players.

    Honor of Kings World is set in the world of the most successful video game of 2022

    What game is the new game based on? The MOBA Honor of Kings is the most successful video game in the world (via BusinessofApps). In 2022 alone, it generated $1.65 billion in revenue, well ahead of games like Genshin Impact (1.25 billion), PUBG Mobile (1.12 billion), and Candy Crush (1 billion).

    It also has an eventful development history. Tencent originally wanted to develop a LoL mobile together with Riot Games, but they turned it down. As a result, the clone Honor of Kings was created, which later appeared in the West as Arena of Valor. While the mobile game has had a mixed bag here, it’s a huge hit in its native China. In 2020, around 100 million players are said to have logged in every day.

    Honor of Kings Worlds is now a completely new game but based in the same world.

    What platforms will it appear on? The new open-world game is to be released for PC and “other platforms”. A mobile version is considered very safe, after all the new game is being developed by TIMi.

    TIMi is a subsidiary of Tencent and is known for titles such as Call of Duty: Mobile, the mobile racer Speed ​​Drifters and Pokémon Unite, which was released for Switch and smartphones.

    Is it coming to us in the west? Most likely. So far, all TIMi titles have appeared worldwide, albeit sometimes under a different name. Also, right after the announcement of Honor of Kings World, they announced the creation of a new studio in Montreal.
