The excitement surrounding Honor of Kings continues to build as Tencent unveiled new gameplay footage for the much-anticipated Honor of Kings: World. However, the Tencent Spark showcase also delivered another thrilling announcement: the upcoming animated series, Honor of Kings: Destiny, is set to debut on Crunchyroll. This series will spotlight the beloved character Kai, aiming to replicate the success and popularity boost that Arcane brought to League of Legends.
In addition to the animated series, Honor of Kings is gearing up for a collaboration with the popular Chinese animated film, Ne Zha 2. While this partnership might primarily cater to the Chinese audience, it underscores Tencent's broader strategy to expand Honor of Kings' reach across various multimedia platforms.
Honor of Kings has been making strides towards capturing Western audiences, as evidenced by its appearance in the Amazon anthology series, Secret Level. With Honor of Kings: Destiny, Tencent is making its most significant push yet into the Western market. Although unconfirmed sources suggest a May 31st release on Crunchyroll, the series has already generated buzz with its visually striking trailers. The key to its success will hinge on its ability to make the intricate lore of the MOBA accessible and engaging to a general audience, much like Arcane did for League of Legends.
