TiMi Studio Group has opened registration for the very first overseas closed PC alpha test of Honor of Kings: World, the highly anticipated Eastern Fantasy multiplayer action RPG. If you have been waiting to get hands-on with one of 2025's most exciting upcoming titles, now is your chance.
What Is Honor of Kings: World?
Honor of Kings: World is a brand-new title that expands the universe of Honor of Kings, a MOBA that boasts over 260 million monthly active users worldwide. Rather than a competitive MOBA, this new entry is a fully realized multiplayer action RPG built around Eastern fantasy lore and a shared open world.
In the game, players take on the role of a new student at Jixia Academy, a renowned institution for gifted individuals. You will meet fellow students, mentors, and legendary heroes as you uncover the mysteries of the Wonders and "the Flow" — a unique energy source that shapes the continent of Primaera. Along the way, players forge alliances with iconic heroes, and ultimately challenge the Chain of Fate to carve out their own legend.
Key Game Features
- Dynamic Multiplayer Combat: Seamlessly switch between two unique fighting styles mid-battle using the dual hero Flow Style system.
- Shared World Activities: Engage in crafting, house building, farming, and world exploration across the continent of Primaera.
- Lore-Rich Storytelling: Embark on narrative-driven adventures alongside iconic heroes from the original Honor of Kings.
- PvE & PvP Experiences: A rich blend of cooperative boss encounters and competitive player-versus-player gameplay.
- Skill-Based Combat: Precise parries, perfect dodges, and highly responsive real-time action.
Why This Closed Alpha Test Matters
