While Honor of Kings might be a relatively new phenomenon to Western gamers, it has already made a significant impact with its global release and even a feature in Amazon's anthology series, Secret Level. However, the upcoming action RPG, Honor of Kings: World, aims to take the franchise to new heights.
A brand-new developer diary for Honor of Kings: World has been released, providing perhaps the most comprehensive look at the game to date. The spotlight is firmly on the combat system, where the familiar Crimson Beast—a favorite target for junglers in the original Honor of Kings—is transformed into a formidable boss.
The dev diary doesn't just showcase the combat; it also includes insightful commentary from the developers. They explain how players can summon various weapons and seamlessly switch to a more mage-like skillset using the Chrono Anomaly. This flexibility contributes to the game's impressive combo-based battles, which are demonstrated in action.
Looking ahead, the developer diary also provides a broad yet detailed overview of what to expect from Honor of Kings: World. Familiar heroes from the MOBA make an appearance, and there are glimpses of open-world exploration, confirming the inclusion of cooperative multiplayer.
Importantly, the mobile version of Honor of Kings: World is also showcased, with a strong emphasis on optimization as a crucial part of the development process. This focus on performance is particularly reassuring, given the game's stunning visual effects and graphical enhancements.
