Starting today, Honor of Kings, the world’s most played MOBA, is rolling out its second major update following the release of Honor of Kings Plus in June. Honor of Kings Thrilling introduces an all-new heroine, adorable AI gaming buddies just for your companionship, and an exciting new game mode designed to keep players on the edge of their seats!
“We understand how stressful daily life can be, so we’re releasing this latest version to create a fun space where players can fully immerse in the game, set their mind free, and release any tension,” commented Game Producer, Dean Huang. “The release of Honor of Kings Thrilling further demonstrates our desire to evolve the HOK experience with an overarching theme and content that delivers on that goal. We started with Honor of Kings Plus and now are following that up with Honor of Kings Thrilling.”
