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 really seeks to elevate the franchise to new heights.
Now, you can dive into a brand-new dev diary that offers perhaps the most in-depth look at Honor of Kings: World to date. The main focus here is combat, where the familiar Crimson Beast—a favorite target of junglers in HoK—gets an upgrade into a full-fledged boss. We not only get a look at the combat systems but also receive insightful commentary from the developers. They explain how you can summon different weapons and switch to a more mage-like skillset with Chrono Anomaly. All of this contributes to an impressive combo-based battle that we get to see in action.
What's Coming Up in Honor of Kings: World
Aside from the combat showcase, the main point of this dev diary seems to be providing a basic, yet fairly open, overview of what will be coming with HoK World. We get to see more of the familiar heroes from the MOBA make an appearance, along with some glimpses of open-world exploration and confirmation of co-operative multiplayer.
Perhaps most importantly, we also get to see the mobile version of Honor of Kings: World in action. The developers place a strong emphasis on optimization as a crucial part of the development process. This will be welcome news, especially with all the flashy effects and graphical goodies on display in this video.
If you're planning on jumping into Honor of Kings to get a taste for it ahead of World's release, remember that, like any MOBA, you'll want to get a handle on how exactly the characters handle. Be sure to check out our Honor of Kings tier list to help you prepare!
