October 17 – From the moment each player’s ID was registered, a promise was made — a bond that has grown through every battle and victory. Honor of Kings, the world’s most played MOBA, now carries that spirit forward with the Decade of Promise, a new chapter celebrating the enduring connection between heroes and players through a series of exciting in-game events and experiences.
Honor of Kings is excited to announce the launch of its latest collaboration event that celebrates the beauty and importance of the Chinese cultural heritage site – Sanxingdui! Discovered in Sichuan Province, Sanxingdui features exhibits from about 4000 years ago that reflect a highly advanced culture. The collaboration features acclaimed filmmaker Yimou Zhang as Art Director, bringing his visionary artistry to reimagine the ancient culture within the world of Honor of Kings.
This collaboration further demonstrates Honor of Kings’commitment to preserving and promoting cultural diversity around the globe. Starting today, players can experience a brand-new collection of exclusive collaboration skins and themed backgrounds taking their inspiration from traditional Chinese art and design by participating in two phases of engaging in-game activities and challenges.
