While Honor of Kings may be a relatively new phenomenon to gamers in the West, it has already made a significant impact with its global release and even a feature in the Amazon anthology series Secret Level. However, it's the upcoming action RPG, Honor of Kings: World, that aims to elevate the franchise to new heights.
A brand-new developer diary has been released, providing the most comprehensive look at Honor of Kings: World to date. The spotlight is firmly on the combat system, where the familiar Crimson Beast, a favorite target for junglers in the original Honor of Kings, has been transformed into a formidable boss. This dev diary not only showcases the combat mechanics but also includes insightful commentary from the developers. They explain how players can summon various weapons and switch to a more mage-like skillset using the Chrono Anomaly feature. All of this contributes to a dynamic, combo-based battle system that is demonstrated in action.
The dev diary also offers a broad, yet detailed, preview of what players can expect from Honor of Kings: World. We see familiar heroes from the MOBA making an appearance, alongside glimpses of open-world exploration and confirmation of cooperative multiplayer features. Importantly, the mobile version of Honor of Kings: World is showcased, with a strong emphasis on optimization as a key aspect of the development process. This focus on performance is particularly reassuring given the visually impressive effects and graphical enhancements featured in the video.
