If you follow global sales lists, there’s no way you haven’t heard of Honor of Kings. He is the unrivaled holder of the title of the world’s highest-paid mobile game, generating $10 billion in revenue since 2015. The game’s popularity has grown so rapidly that even its revenue in the first 8 months of 2021 alone exceeded $2 billion. The average number of players per month is around 100 million.
This game was also released in western countries under the name Arena of Valor, but was not successful. Now Tencent is once again set to unveil its Honor of Kings name to the world, this time as an open-world role-playing game.
Honor of Kings: World will have fantastic creatures, breathtaking visuals and challenging encounters, says Tencent. From what we’ve seen from the trailer, it’s going to have a lot of Monster Hunter-like gameplay, and its visuals are really interesting.
This new play, The Three Object Problem, was developed in collaboration with Liu Cixin, author of “The Three Object Problem,” which means it will have a solid storyline. It will be a multi-platform game, but its platforms or release date are not yet known.
