Excitement is building around the upcoming animated series, Honor of Kings: Destiny, which is set to premiere on Crunchyroll. This new series centers on the fan-favorite character Kai, promising to bring his adventures to life in a way that could mirror the success of Arcane for League of Legends. Tencent, the powerhouse behind Honor of Kings, is clearly aiming to leverage this series as part of a broader strategy to expand the game's reach into multimedia.
In addition to the animated series, the recent Tencent Spark showcase unveiled more exciting developments for Honor of Kings fans. A collaboration with the popular Chinese animated film Ne Zha 2 is in the works, though it's expected to be exclusive to the Chinese market. This move underscores Tencent's efforts to solidify Honor of Kings' presence not only in gaming but also in broader entertainment spheres.
Honor of Kings has been making strides to capture the attention of Western audiences as well. It previously featured in Amazon's anthology series Secret Level, but Honor of Kings: Destiny could represent the most significant effort yet. While unconfirmed sources suggest a launch date of May 31st on Crunchyroll, the series has already generated buzz with its impressive trailers. The real test will be whether it can distill the complex lore of the MOBA into a compelling narrative that appeals to a general audience, much like Arcane did.
As anticipation grows, now is a great time for players to dive back into Honor of Kings. To ensure you're fully prepared, be sure to consult our Honor of Kings tier list to stay updated on the top characters to use in your gameplay.
