While Honor of Kings might be a relatively new phenomenon for 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 just been released, providing the most comprehensive look yet at Honor of Kings: World. The spotlight is firmly on combat, showcasing the transformation of the familiar Crimson Beast—a favorite target for junglers in HoK—into a formidable boss. This dev diary not only delves into the combat systems but also includes insightful commentary from the developers. They explain how players can summon various weapons and switch to a more mage-like skillset using Chrono Anomaly, all contributing to an impressive combo-based battle system demonstrated 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 familiar heroes from the MOBA making an appearance, 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, emphasizing the crucial role of optimization in the development process. This focus on optimization is particularly welcome, given the game's dazzling effects and graphical enhancements showcased in the video.
If you're considering diving into Honor of Kings to get a feel for it before the release of World, remember that, like any MOBA, mastering the characters' handling is key. To help you get started, be sure to check out our Honor of Kings tier list!
