The wait is almost over for fans eager to dive into Honor of Kings: World, the ambitious Eastern Fantasy action RPG from TiMi Studio Group. This month, Gamescom 2025 attendees will be among the first in the world to experience the game hands-on, with a playable PC demo set to debut from August 20–24 in Hall 9, Booth B040 at the world’s largest gaming event in Cologne, Germany.
This marks the biggest global reveal yet for the title, offering players a fresh, open-world take on the universe of Honor of Kings, the world’s most-played MOBA. The game reimagines the series as a cinematic, story-rich RPG where players can traverse the vast continent of Primaera, uncover hidden wonders, and meet legendary heroes from the original lore.
From MOBA Giant to Open-World Adventure
While Honor of Kings has made its name as a competitive MOBA, Honor of Kings: World breaks new ground by blending PvP and PvE gameplay with deep cooperative and social features. Players can expect:
- Dynamic Multiplayer Combat – Seamlessly switch between two fighting styles in the middle of battle for strategic and stylish combos.
- Shared World Activities – Crafting, building homes, and managing resources alongside friends.
- Rich Lore & Exploration – Narrative-driven journeys across Primaera, a land teeming with mysteries, “the Flow” energy source, and unforgettable characters.
Hands-On at Gamescom 2025
The Gamescom demo will feature cooperative boss battles with full mouse, keyboard, and controller support. This early look will allow players to test the fluid combat system and witness the game’s breathtaking blend of Eastern Fantasy aesthetics and cutting-edge technology.
Players will begin as new students at Jixia Academy, an institution composed of three specialized schools for the gifted. Along the way, they’ll interact with classmates, mentors, and iconic heroes from the original Honor of Kings, uncovering their backstories and forging alliances.
“We’ve been working very hard on Honor of Kings: World and look forward to learning how players who are visiting Gamescom react to our game,” shared Big Huang, Lead Combat Designer. “We know fans of Honor of Kings are ready, and we hope newcomers will be just as excited after playing this first public presentation in Europe.”
The Next Step in Eastern Fantasy Gaming
Honor of Kings: World aims to redefine the genre, combining traditional fantasy themes with sci-fi-inspired worldbuilding. Expect jaw-dropping landscapes, intricate story arcs, and the immersive experience of exploring a living, breathing world.
