You will receive
"Honor of Kings" has 105 heroes and will have 85 heroes at the time of release. The game is balanced in such a way that the winning of MOBAs is based on the player's skill and expertise, and that the game is not affected by the cost of the game. Furthermore, regular adjustments are made based on player feedback and match-up data to maintain the competitive nature of the game.
Many people may think that MOBAs are too difficult to play and that beginners may have trouble with their teammates if they start playing. "Honor of Kings" offers a full in-game tutorial and explanation of the characteristics of the heroes. In addition, by playing the training center and solo practice mode, you can practice well and take on the challenge by yourself.
The "Honor of Kings" game has been well received by users, and has been made possible through collaborations with IPs such as "SAMURAI SHODOWN," "FATAL FURY" by SNK, Saint Seiya, and Hello Kitty. Hans Zimmer, who composed the music for "The Rock" and "Pirates of the Caribbean," and Joe Hisaishi, who composed "Summer" and many Ghibli related songs, also contributed music to the project.
The release of "Honor of Kings" will feature new heroes reflecting Latin American culture. There will be regular version updates, events and collaborations in each country.

- What are the strengths of "Honor of Kings" that other MOBA titles do not have?

After the global launch, we intend to further enhance the game based on the culture and background of not only China but also the rest of the world.

We would very much welcome Japanese e-sports teams to join "Honor of Kings". We are also actively working to participate in the 20th Asian Games to be held in Nagoya in 2026. Your support would be greatly appreciated.
