Honor of Kings: World reimagines the acclaimed mobile MOBA franchise for a broader audience, launching simultaneously on PC and handheld devices. The game shifts genres, adopting a multiplayer action RPG format with both cooperative and competitive modes, as revealed during its Gamescom 2025 showcase announcement.

TiMi Studio has confirmed its presence at this year’s Gamescom event, offering attendees exclusive access to the title’s preview build. Visitors to Hall 9’s Booth B040 can experience live demonstrations of gameplay mechanics ahead of its global release.

Breaking from its MOBA roots, the title introduces expansive world exploration and narrative-driven quests. Early previews highlight revamped combat systems and environmental interactions that differ substantially from the original series’ lane-based battles.

While Gamescom marks the public debut, select media outlets like Wccftech previewed an alpha version during GDC 2025. Journalists praised the build’s fluid combat and visual fidelity despite its limited scope, with many noting its potential across platforms.

“Initially underestimated, Honor of Kings: World now commands attention with its accessible design. While console players await potential ports, the title’s mission structure and cross-platform flexibility make it an ideal fit for quick gaming sessions.”
