While Honor of Kings may be a relatively new name to gamers in the West, its impact is undeniable following a global release and a feature in the Amazon anthology series Secret Level. However, it's the upcoming action RPG, Honor of Kings: World, that aims to elevate the franchise to new heights.

A brand-new developer diary has been released, providing the most comprehensive insight into Honor of Kings: World to date. The spotlight is on combat, featuring the familiar Crimson Beast—often targeted by junglers in the original game—now transformed into a full-fledged boss. This dev diary not only showcases the combat systems but also includes behind-the-scenes commentary from the developers. They explain how players can summon various weapons and transition to a more mage-like skillset using the Chrono Anomaly. This all contributes to delivering an impressive combo-based battle experience, which is vividly demonstrated in the video.

What's Coming Up: Beyond the focus on combat, the dev diary offers a broad yet open overview of what to expect from Honor of Kings: World. Viewers get a glimpse of familiar heroes from the MOBA, scenes of open-world exploration, and confirmation of cooperative multiplayer features. Notably, the mobile version of the game is also showcased, with a strong emphasis on optimization as a crucial aspect of the development process. This focus on optimization is particularly reassuring, given the game's impressive visual effects and graphical enhancements.
