While Honor of Kings may be a relatively new phenomenon to gamers in the West, it's undoubtedly already made its mark with a global release and even a feature in the Amazon anthology series Secret Level. But it's the upcoming action RPG, Honor of Kings: World, that aims to elevate the franchise to new heights.
Now, you can delve into a brand-new dev diary that offers perhaps the most comprehensive look at Honor of Kings: World to date. The spotlight is on combat, showcasing the transformation of the familiar Crimson Beast—a favorite target for junglers in HoK—into a formidable boss. The video not only highlights the combat systems but also includes insightful commentary from the developers. They explain how players can summon different weapons and switch to a more mage-like skillset with Chrono Anomaly, enhancing the impressive combo-based battles we see in action.
The dev diary also provides a basic yet fairly open overview of what's to come in HoK World. We get to see more familiar heroes from the MOBA making an appearance, glimpses of open-world exploration, and confirmation of cooperative multiplayer. Perhaps most crucially, the video showcases the mobile version of Honor of Kings: World, emphasizing optimization as a key part of the development process. This is welcome news, especially given the flashy effects and graphical enhancements displayed throughout the video.
If you're considering diving into Honor of Kings to get a feel for it before World's release, remember that, like any MOBA, mastering character handling is crucial. Be sure to check out our Honor of Kings tier list to get a head start on understanding the game's dynamics!
