Honor of Kings (simplified Chinese: 王者荣耀; traditional Chinese: 王者榮耀; pinyin: Wángzhě Róngyào, unofficially translated as "King of Glory", or alternatively transliterated as Wangzhe Rongyao) is a multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) developed by TiMi Studio Group and published by Tencent Games for the iOS and Android mobile platforms in mainland China.
Released in 2015, it has become one of the most relevant MOBA games in mainland China. An international adaptation, titled Arena of Valor, was released in October 2016; it utilizes the same game engine but greatly altered UI Design and heroes to accommodate the Western market. As of November 2020, Honor of Kings had over 100 million daily active players, making it one of the most popular games in the world,[2] as well as the highest-grossing mobile game of all time.[a] Additionally, it is one of the most downloaded apps globally.[9][10][11][12][13][14]
In June 2022, Level Infinite, the publisher of Arena of Valor, announced that Honor of Kings would be released globally by the end of 2022.[15]
