While Honor of Kings might still be finding its footing among Western gamers, its impact is undeniable, especially with a global release and a spot in Amazon's Secret Level anthology series. The excitement is building for the upcoming action RPG, Honor of Kings: World, which aims to take the franchise to new heights.
A newly released dev diary provides an extensive look into Honor of Kings: World, with a primary focus on its combat system. The familiar Crimson Beast, typically a jungler's favorite in the original Honor of Kings, has been transformed into a formidable boss in this new installment. Viewers are treated to a detailed showcase of the combat mechanics, accompanied by developer commentary that delves into the intricacies of summoning various weapons and transitioning to a mage-like skillset through the Chrono Anomaly feature. These elements combine to create a dynamic and engaging combo-based battle system, which is demonstrated live in the video.
The dev diary also offers a broad, yet insightful, overview of what to expect in Honor of Kings: World. Familiar heroes from the MOBA are making a return, and there are glimpses of open-world exploration and confirmation of cooperative multiplayer features. Importantly, the mobile version of the game is showcased, with a strong emphasis on optimization to ensure smooth gameplay despite the visually stunning effects and graphics.
