Honor of Kings is a multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game developed by TiMi Studio Group and published by Tencent Games. Originally launched in China in 2015 under the name "王者荣耀" (Wang Zhe Rongyao), it became one of the highest-grossing mobile games in the world before receiving a global release in 2024.
Players choose from a large roster of heroes across various roles — tanks, assassins, mages, marksmen, supports, and fighters — and compete in 5v5 matches to destroy the opposing team's base. The game features fast-paced matches, ranked competitive play, and a constantly expanding hero pool with frequent seasonal content updates.
Honor of Kings is tailored for mobile with touch controls and shorter match durations compared to PC MOBA counterparts. Its global launch brought a refined international version with updated hero designs and localized content, making it one of the most played mobile games across iOS and Android.
