For MOBA Players
Many Honor of Kings players ask how their favorite heroes translate to the open world. In World, MOBA heroes appear as Flow Styles — combat stances you can freely switch between mid-fight. Instead of locking into one hero per match, you create a custom protagonist and layer two Flow Styles (for example, a frontline tank stance + a ranged mage stance) to shape your own playstyle.
The core identities remain recognizable — Mulan’s versatility, Kai’s frontline presence, Sun Bin’s support — but expressed through real-time action, exploration, and co-op boss encounters rather than 5v5 arena matches.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Honor of Kings: World? ▼
Honor of Kings: World is an upcoming open-world action RPG for PC and consoles from Tencent / Level Infinite, set in the same universe as the Honor of Kings MOBA. It is a separate game from the mobile MOBA — different genre, different platform.
When does Honor of Kings: World release? ▼
No public global release date has been announced. The first Global PC Alpha Test ran from May 21 to May 27, 2026 for selected players in North America, Europe and Southeast Asia. China version launched earlier in April 2026.
Is Honor of Kings: World the same game as Honor of Kings (the MOBA)? ▼
No. Honor of Kings: World is a PC open-world ARPG. Honor of Kings (the original) is a mobile MOBA. They share the same fictional universe and characters but are independent products with different gameplay genres.
How do I sign up for the Honor of Kings: World ALPHA test? ▼
The May 2026 Global PC Alpha Test has ended. Future tests may open registration again on honorofkingsworld.com, so use the official site and social channels for the next signup window.
What languages will Honor of Kings: World support? ▼
The official website is currently localized in English, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. The game itself is expected to support these and more at launch.
How do MOBA heroes appear in Honor of Kings: World? ▼
Heroes from the MOBA become "Flow Styles" — swappable combat stances. You create a custom protagonist and combine two Flows (e.g., one for damage, one for control) instead of locking into a single hero per match. The familiar identities and abilities are reinterpreted for third-person action combat and open-world exploration.
