While the spotlight today has been on the exciting new gameplay footage of the much-anticipated Honor of Kings: World, let's not overlook the recent Tencent Spark showcase, which also brought some thrilling news for Honor of Kings fans. The most significant announcement was the confirmation that the animated series, Honor of Kings: Destiny, is set to arrive on Crunchyroll. This series will spotlight the beloved character Kai, and Tencent is banking on it to replicate the success that Arcane brought to League of Legends.
In addition to the animated series, Honor of Kings is gearing up for a collaboration with the hit Chinese animated film Ne Zha 2. While this collaboration might primarily cater to a Chinese audience, it underscores Tencent's broader strategy to expand Honor of Kings's reach to a more diverse audience.
