The world of Honor of Kings is expanding beyond the game itself, with the upcoming animated series, Honor of Kings: Destiny, set to launch on Crunchyroll. This exciting series will spotlight the beloved character Kai, aiming to captivate fans and newcomers alike. Tencent, the powerhouse behind Honor of Kings, is clearly leveraging this series as part of their broader strategy to venture into multimedia, hoping to replicate the success that Arcane brought to League of Legends.
In addition to the animated series, Honor of Kings is also gearing up for a collaboration with the popular Chinese animated film, Ne Zha 2. While this partnership might primarily appeal to the Chinese audience, it underscores Tencent's ambitious efforts to broaden the game's reach and appeal on a global scale.
Honor of Kings has already made inroads into Western markets with its appearance in the Amazon anthology series Secret Level. However, Honor of Kings: Destiny could be the most significant step yet towards capturing a larger Western audience. Although the exact premiere date remains unconfirmed, with whispers suggesting a May 31st release on Crunchyroll, the series has already shown promise in its trailers. The key to its success will be its ability to make the intricate lore of the MOBA accessible and engaging to those unfamiliar with the game.
