While Honor of Kings may be a relatively new phenomenon to gamers in the West, it has already made significant strides with its global release and even featured in the Amazon anthology series Secret Level. However, it's the upcoming action RPG, Honor of Kings: World, that aims to take the franchise to new heights.
A brand-new developer diary has been released, providing the most in-depth look yet at Honor of Kings: World. The diary focuses primarily on combat, showcasing the familiar Crimson Beast—often a target for junglers in the original Honor of Kings—now transformed into a formidable boss.
This dev diary not only showcases the combat systems but also includes insightful commentary from the developers. They explain how players can summon various weapons and switch to a mage-like skillset using the Chrono Anomaly. These mechanics contribute to an impressive combo-based battle system, which is demonstrated in action.
The dev diary also gives a broad overview of what to expect from Honor of Kings: World. It features familiar heroes from the MOBA, glimpses of open-world exploration, and confirmation of cooperative multiplayer elements. Importantly, the diary also showcases the mobile version of the game, emphasizing optimization as a key aspect of development, which is crucial given the game's visually impressive effects and graphics.
