At today’s (March 20) preview event, it was officially announced that the PC version of *Honor of Kings: World* will launch on April 10, with the mobile version set to follow shortly thereafter.
At this press conference, not only was the new map for Honor of Kings unveiled, but the original hero for Season S0—Leng Chun: Crimson-Eyed Blade Dancer—was also revealed for the first time.
In the setting of *Honor of Kings: World*, the Son of the Primordial Flow can resonate with all living beings and mimic their powers through the Flow. As a result, nine heroes from the *Honor of Kings* game—including Dongfang Yao, Xi Shi, Master Lu Ban, and Hua Mulan—will also make their debut as the first batch of Resonance Heroes in *Honor of Kings: World*.
Based on the presentation at the launch event, the hero resonance cultivation system in *King of Heroes World* will consist of four major components: “Bloodlines, Martial Condensation, Equipment, and Runes.” It is worth noting that while Runes are relatively familiar to players, the other three systems are entirely new and original.
"Flow" is an additional combat ability granted by Hero Resonance, allowing you to unlock and combine different branches by leveling up.
You can upgrade the attributes of your Condensed Weapons using cultivation materials, and each hero’s Resonance comes with its own exclusive Condensed Weapon, so there’s no need to obtain them separately.
In addition, each Hero Resonance can equip up to five items, and multiple Resonances can be equipped and used simultaneously. In the Equipment Dungeon, you can use the Wishing Well to increase the drop rate of specific items.
Overall, the progression mechanics in *Honor of Kings: World* lean toward a more relaxed and casual experience, with significant effort put into reducing the time commitment and workload.
Of course, in addition to the standard character-building mechanics, players have a variety of gameplay paths to choose from. For example, the "Hundred Schools" system brings together a wide range of playstyles. The "Herbalists" dedicate themselves to the study of plants and pharmacology, making it their mission to heal the sick and save lives. The "Artisans" specialize in crafting civilian machinery and structures, committed to improving the public’s quality of life. The "Photographers," meanwhile, have a particular passion for photography; they excel at capturing reality through the lens and documenting the ever-changing world.
The Home System allows players to establish their own personal haven on the vast King’s Continent. Players can not only customize their homes to their liking but also grow vegetables, steal crops from others, or raise animals to guard their gardens. By exploring and trading in the open world, players can acquire more interactive furniture to completely renovate and decorate their homes.
The PVP mode will continue to be refined and improved upon the basis of the previous closed beta. According to the announcement at this press conference, the official launch will feature two main modes: 1v1 and 4v4. In the former, players can customize their own dual Resonances for battle and have exclusive Summoner Spells and Talents. The latter focuses on a multiplayer cooperative vehicle-escort gameplay, where four players must escort a vehicle to the finish line while the opposing team attempts to hinder them within a set time limit.In the future, the developers plan to continue rolling out a wide variety of PVP experiences.
As for the monetization model—a topic of concern for many players—the development team officially confirmed at this preview event that *Honor of Kings: World* is primarily a cosmetic-based game, featuring skins for the Son of the Primordial Stream, vehicle skins, hero skins, and weapon cosmetics. Additionally, each season will feature corresponding events and gameplay modes that allow players to earn substantial in-game currency for purchases.
In fact, both at this preview event and during various previous public appearances, the development team has repeatedly emphasized that *Honor of Kings: World* is “a gift for *Honor of Kings* players.” It is not only a response to the players’ long-standing trust, but also a way to allow them to find a continuation of the familiar emotions and spirit through a new form of gameplay. At the same time, through various offline trial sessions and community events, the team has gathered extensive player feedback, which has enabled them to continuously refine and optimize the content, fostering a collaborative development model.
It is clear that, as a continuation of the best-selling mobile game IP in the domestic market today, *Honor of Kings: World* is undoubtedly the most “ambitious” venture in Tencent’s IP expansion.
