The world of Honor of Kings is expanding beyond the mobile game with exciting news from the recent Tencent Spark showcase. One of the most thrilling announcements is the upcoming animated series, Honor of Kings: Destiny, set to premiere on Crunchyroll. This series centers around the beloved character Kai, and Tencent hopes it will boost the game's popularity much like Arcane did for League of Legends.
In addition to the animated series, Honor of Kings is gearing up for a collaboration with the Chinese animated film Ne Zha 2. While this may primarily cater to the Chinese audience, it underscores Tencent's broader strategy to extend the game's reach and appeal to a wider demographic.
Honor of Kings has been making strides to capture the attention of Western audiences, notably with its appearance in the Amazon anthology series Secret Level. The upcoming Honor of Kings: Destiny might be the most significant effort yet, with a rumored release date of May 31st on Crunchyroll, though this remains unconfirmed. The series promises to be visually stunning based on the trailers released so far. Its success, however, hinges on its ability to make the intricate lore of the MOBA accessible and engaging for newcomers, much like Arcane did for League of Legends.
