Tencent’s Honor of Kings spin-off gets green light as China approves 136 new games in January

Quick Summary:

While the launch date is unclear, there is hope it will be rolled out this year as it was featured in the iPhone 16 release last September.

Players have high expectations for the title, as Tencent has tried to combine cutting-edge graphics with storytelling based on various characters in Honor of Kings, which was the top-grossing mobile game in Apple’s China App Store last month, according to data from analytics firm Sensor Tower.
