Author : Lucas Update:Feb 20,2025

Honor of Kings: World, the highly anticipated open-world RPG spin-off of Tencent's popular MOBA, Honor of Kings, has received approval from Chinese regulators. This approval, part of the first batch of 2025 game releases, signals an imminent launch. While a precise release date remains unconfirmed, the regulatory green light suggests a relatively swift market entry.

True to its name, Honor of Kings: World expands the Honor of Kings universe into a fully explorable open world. Its impressive graphics and open-world gameplay were prominently featured during the iPhone 16 showcase.

For those unfamiliar, Honor of Kings is a globally renowned MOBA, surpassing even League of Legends in certain markets. Previously limited to China and Asia, its immense popularity now extends worldwide. Honor of Kings: World may entice even MOBA skeptics to explore this expansive new title.

A Significant Milestone

This approval holds significant weight, considering China's previous gaming licensing freeze. This period significantly hampered the country's game development and publishing sector before a recent surge of approvals. The current wave of approvals, exceeding even last year's peak monthly numbers (as reported by the South China Morning Post), is noteworthy.

The influx of approved games from China in 2025 promises a potentially overwhelming market release. The coming months will reveal which titles emerge as frontrunners. We eagerly await further updates.
