Honor of Kings: World Reveals New Dev Diary with Upcoming Features

While Honor of Kings might be a relatively new phenomenon for Western gamers, it has already left a significant mark with its global release and even featured in the Amazon anthology series Secret Level. However, the upcoming action RPG Honor of Kings: World aims to elevate the franchise to new heights.

You can now dive into a brand-new developer diary that provides the most in-depth 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 full-fledged boss encounter.

This dev diary not only gives us a glimpse of 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 the Chrono Anomaly feature. All of this contributes to an impressive combo-based battle system, which we get to see in action.

What's Coming Up

Beyond the combat focus, the dev diary offers a broad yet detailed overview of what to expect from HoK World. We see more familiar heroes from the MOBA making appearances, along with glimpses of open-world exploration and confirmation of cooperative multiplayer features.

Importantly, the diary also showcases the mobile version of Honor of Kings: World, with a strong emphasis on optimization as a crucial aspect of the development process. This is particularly good news, considering the flashy effects and graphical enhancements displayed throughout the video.

If you're considering diving into Honor of Kings to get a feel for the game before World's release, it's wise to familiarize yourself with the characters. Be sure to check out our Honor of Kings tier list to understand how each character performs and strategizes effectively.
