Today's spotlight on Honor of Kings isn't just about the new gameplay footage of the eagerly awaited Honor of Kings: World. The recent Tencent Spark showcase also brought significant news for fans of the franchise. One of the most exciting announcements was the confirmation that Honor of Kings: Destiny, an upcoming animated series, will soon be available on Crunchyroll. This series centers on the beloved character Kai, and Tencent is banking on it to boost the game's popularity, much like Arcane did for League of Legends.
Additionally, Honor of Kings is gearing up for a collaboration with the hit Chinese family animated film Ne Zha 2. While this may primarily appeal to audiences in China, it underscores Tencent's broader strategy to expand the game's reach and visibility.
Honor of Kings has been making strides to capture the attention of Western viewers, notably with its inclusion in the Amazon anthology Secret Level. However, Honor of Kings: Destiny might just be the most ambitious move yet to break into the Western market. Although unconfirmed sources suggest a release date of May 31st on Crunchyroll, the trailers hint at an impressive series. The real test will be whether it can translate the complex lore of a MOBA into a compelling narrative that captivates a wider audience, similar to what Arcane achieved.
