What Is Honor of Kings: World? A Short Overview

Honor of Kings: World is Tencent's open-world action RPG set in Primaera, an eastern-fantasy continent built on characters and lore from the Honor of Kings MOBA universe.

Honor of Kings: World is an open-world action RPG developed by TiMi Studio Group and published globally by Level Infinite. It is a spinoff, not a sequel, to the Honor of Kings MOBA. It shares the same character roster and lore but replaces the 5v5 arena with a continuous, exploratory world called Primaera.[1][2]

What the game actually is

  • Single-player adventure with cooperative multiplayer boss encounters.
  • Dual-hero combat. You bring two heroes into the field and swap between them mid-battle.
  • Open world you traverse on foot, by mount, and (in some regions) by flight.
  • PvE content is the main axis; PvP exists but is not the core loop.
  • Life systems (home building, farming, fishing, crafting) run alongside the adventure.

What the game is not

  • Not a MOBA. Honor of Kings: World is a single/coop ARPG, not a 5v5 arena game.
  • Not a sequel to the MOBA. Character identities and some lore are shared; gameplay is a clean break.
  • Not a battle royale or extraction title.

Who's building it

TiMi Studio Group is the developer, the same Tencent studio behind Honor of Kings and the collaborative-dev work on Call of Duty: Mobile. Level Infinite handles global publishing. The studio announced the game as "built with global audiences in mind from the start", but as of April 2026 it's only live in mainland China.[1][2]
