While Honor of Kings may be a relatively new phenomenon to gamers in the West, it has already left a significant mark with its global release and a feature in the Amazon anthology series Secret Level. However, it's the upcoming action RPG, Honor of Kings: World, that aims to elevate the franchise to new heights.

A brand-new dev diary has been released, providing the most in-depth look at Honor of Kings: World to date. The spotlight is on combat, showcasing the transformation of the familiar Crimson Beast, a favorite target for junglers in HoK, into a full-fledged boss. The dev diary not only delves into the combat systems but also includes behind-the-scenes commentary from the developers. They explain how players can summon different weapons and switch to a more mage-like skillset with Chrono Anomaly, contributing to an impressive combo-based battle showcased in action.

The dev diary also provides a basic yet fairly open overview of what to expect from HoK World. It features familiar heroes from the MOBA, glimpses of open-world exploration, and confirmation of cooperative multiplayer. Importantly, viewers get a look at the mobile version of Honor of Kings: World in action, with a strong emphasis on optimization as a crucial aspect of the development process. This focus on optimization is particularly reassuring given the game's flashy effects and graphical enhancements showcased in the video.
