At the Opening Night Live of gamescom 2025 there was a new trailer for Honor of Kings: World. The new MMORPG showcases scenes from an actual boss fight, which you can also play on-site.
What is this MMORPG? While the MOBA Honor of Kings is relatively unknown in Europe, it is one of the most successful games in China. With Honor of Kings: World, a MMORPG spin-off is set to follow, transporting you into this world and allowing you to (re)meet familiar characters.
As a student of the Jixia Academy, you will learn to handle a mystical energy derived from human emotions. Together with your classmates, who are also players, you will face serious dangers.
Here you can watch the trailer for the MMORPG:
This MMORPG does not make farming and crafting a side issue
What can be expected from the MMORPG? The developers of Honor of Kings: World confirmed to MeinMMO in a press release that there will be both PvE and PvP in the MMORPG. There will also be crafting, house-building and management, as well as a real story that you can follow.
The story is intended to be shown to you with cinematic trailers, which you can also view in the trailer. Outside of combat, you can relax, farm, and spend time with your friends in the so-called harvest fields.
In battle, various skills are at your disposal to customize your character, and the changing of the attack weapon in battle has already been seen in the trailer.
The MMORPG places great importance on social and relaxing features and aims to make crafting, farming, and housebuilding not just a subplot.
When can you play the new MMORPG? The new MMORPG will be available for testing for the first time at gamescom in Hall 9, Stand B040. There, you should also be able to play the first boss fight. When the MMORPG will be playable at home and the official release date is still unknown.
With Honor of Kings: World, Tencent brings something like the “LoL” MMORPG for its popular MOBA. That the trailer and tests are being showcased at gamescom likely means that we can look forward to a new MMORPG in the West, even if it will also be released on Android and iOS in addition to the PC. If the MMORPG reminds you of Genshin Impact, you’re mistaken: A new MMORPG has been presented: You have never heard of it, yet it is a huge game
