Set in the vast and visually striking continent of Primaera, Honor of Kings: World expands the franchise beyond its MOBA roots into a fully-fledged open-world RPG experience.
Players begin their journey as students at the prestigious Jixia Academy, before venturing out to uncover the mysteries of the world and forge their own legend.

What is Honor of Kings?
Multiplayer Battle Arena Honor of Kings is developed by TiMi Studio Group and published by Tencent Games.
Since its original launch in China in 2015, the game has grown into the world’s most-played MOBA, consistently drawing over 260 million monthly active users. Its success has made it a defining title in the mobile gaming space, particularly across Asia.
The franchise first expanded internationally in 2016 under the name Arena of Valor, which adapted the core gameplay for global audiences.
However, it wasn’t until 2023 that the original Honor of Kings experience was officially rolled out worldwide, bringing the authentic version of the game to a broader player base under its original branding.
With Honor of Kings: World, the franchise takes a bold step into open-world RPG territory, shifting its focus toward exploration, narrative, and cooperative play.
This first alpha test is a key milestone, giving players early access while helping shape the game’s development ahead of its global release.
