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.
Developer Interview
An interview with the developer was held during the media briefing, where he discussed upcoming events, plans for Japanese dubbing, and more.
- Do you have any game events planned at this time?
Yes, we are planning to hold events in collaboration with Japanese IPs starting on June 20, 2024 (Thursday). We also have many events and rewards available for pre-order. Details of the collaboration will be released soon, so please look forward to it.
- What are the strengths of "Honor of Kings" that other MOBA titles do not have?
We are proud to say that "Honor of Kings" is at the forefront of mobile MOBA titles, with a high level of playability and strategy on smartphones. We are also constantly updating the visual aspect of the game, including hero design, skins, and UI, and we believe that it is comparable to modern games. 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.
- Do you offer any support for the community, such as holding events or providing support?
We are working on holding community events and cooperating with Internet cafes in Japan, and will announce the details as soon as they are finalized. We are also in the process of putting together a program to support user-organized community tournaments in terms of prize money, so please stay tuned for more information.
- Will you be expanding into the e-sports scene?
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.
- Do you plan to support Japanese dubbing in the future?
Of course we are aware of the global reputation of the Japanese dubbing, but we have to prioritize it, as a unified version of "Honor of Kings" will run globally. We will consider the schedule based on the evaluation of the users after the global launch. Please look forward to it.
