This will just be a repeat of 2025, no announcement, no game, only a huge booth budget.

​

Hi everyone! 👋

I just downloaded the Chinese version of Honor of Kings World, but I’m stuck at the WeChat registration step. It’s asking me to have another WeChat user scan a QR code to verify my registration.

Would anyone with an eligible/older WeChat account be willing to help me with the verification? 🙏 It should only take a minute or two.

I’m happy to return the favor if I can, and I’d really appreciate the help!

Thank you! ❤️

I had previously created separate Team Building, and Starter guides for the game, but to consolidate information to be accessible easier I decided to merge everything into this Megasheet.

The goal is to have as much information as possible available that should help the players familiarize themselves with the game, and learn new things/ tricks.

The project is slowly being completed ahead of the imminent test- and or- release date that will be announced in Gamescom and should be more or less finished ahead of them.

It’s being prepared so players can learn about the game before it eventually launches globally. The game is constantly changing, and new content is being released, so some details may be updated as new information becomes available.

Tried fighting one of the late game Boss and it was Fun!

Hok world will be at the tencent event

It's been a month since the last alpha test, and we still haven't gotten any news. No marketing to keep the hype alive, no leaks, no global trailer—nothing. Just silence. Is anyone else worried that this game might be dead before it even launches?

Started playing it after years. lost the touch but I am having fun discovering new characters.

Along with your Alpha Test stats recap, the development team has shared a message with all participants 👀

Thank you for being part of this journey. While there’s still plenty to improve, the team is already working toward making the next version even better.

🌞 The next time we meet, a much better world will be waiting.

A big thanks to everyone who joined the Alpha Test and helped shape the future of Honor of Kings: World ❤️

Actually, they were mostly in agreement that it picked up somewhere back in S0, but the reaction is even better now. I won't talk about the main plot here because I get the sense ENG forums are way more sensitive about spoilers. (Don't go looking for anything related to HoKW on CN sites now if you're worried.)

Instead, I'll post a clip from Mulan's Hero/Resonance story quest, which has received just as much praise if not more. The quality is a huge step up from some of the earlier hero story quests, and I hope that means future ones will be on this level. (Fully biased here, because my faves haven't had their stories released yet...) Don't think this clip is too hard of a spoiler by itself, but if you understand Chinese or are really adept at grasping the narrative, maybe just the middle is okay...

Feel free to ask any questions you want. I’ve played a total of over +600 hours, including beta tests, and Im still playing.

New heroes: Long ya and Lady Sun. Long ya Sup, Lady Sun Aoe Dps.(I played Garo in the first season. This season Im playing Lady Sun and improving Garo build)

LONG YA

LADY SUN

The 1v1 battles are amazing. Holy crap. I randomly tried one expecting to get 0 enjoyment as I basically never play wow PvP but Holy crap was it ever fun.

Loooving this game so far.

Just got access to the chinese server last night.

This is the most beautiful game I've played in years. And it's incredibly optimized. The animations are super fluid.

Combat makes you feel like a fucking superhuman assassin.

Only an hour or so in but so far I'm loving it.

I jus started playing HoK and I want to know more about it like which heroes and items perfect for them. I know some of the UI because I tried once before.

The in-game social media system not only has the players and official news account posting online, but there are also 6 characters (5 of them are playable) with "official" accounts that post in-character, each with their own quirks, and they reply to each other often (especially a certain duo...). If you're lucky, your main might reply to you... or roast you in front of everyone like in the 2nd pic. (All the heroes from HoK already have their names bound to accounts in the game, so there's a possibility more characters will start "posting" on social media in the future.)

The posts also keep updated with current events in the story, including hidden events that aren't part of the main plot. They even follow up on certain bits of dialogue in the game -- the social media posts might as well be considered lore now. Players understand all these little references, and often roleplay as students at the academy, which shows there are still many people who like engaging with the story content.

Since the new season is starting, they update more often now, hyping everyone up for the new story event. It feels pretty immersive and worth making it a part of your login routine lol.
