Excitement is building for fans of Honor of Kings as the upcoming animated series, Honor of Kings: Destiny, is set to premiere on Crunchyroll. This series will spotlight the beloved character Kai, offering viewers a deeper dive into the lore and adventures of the Honor of Kings universe. Tencent's venture into multimedia with this series is a clear indication of their strategy to expand the franchise's reach and popularity, much like how Arcane boosted League of Legends' profile.
Alongside this, Tencent Spark's recent showcase also highlighted another exciting development: a collaboration between Honor of Kings and the acclaimed Chinese animated film, Ne Zha 2. Although this collaboration may primarily appeal to audiences in China, it underscores Tencent's broader efforts to position Honor of Kings as a multimedia powerhouse.
Honor of Kings has been making strides to capture the attention of Western audiences as well. The game's appearance in the Amazon anthology Secret Level marked a significant step in this direction. Now, with Honor of Kings: Destiny rumored to launch on Crunchyroll on May 31st, albeit from unconfirmed sources, the series promises to be visually impressive. The success of this series could hinge on its ability to make the complex lore of the MOBA accessible and engaging for newcomers, similar to the impact Arcane had.
As anticipation builds, fans eager to dive back into Honor of Kings should not go in unprepared. To ensure you're equipped with the best characters, check out our comprehensive Honor of Kings tier list.
