Honor of Kings: World — Global Release, Alpha & China Server Tracker

The China version is live. The global version is in testing. This site tracks the gap between the two — release signals, test recaps, heroes, combat, and what the Chinese official channels reveal that English-language coverage misses.

Why This Site Exists

Honor of Kings: World launched in China months before its global release, which means nearly all first-hand information — patch notes, hero reveals, event structures, player sentiment — is produced in Chinese. We read the Chinese official channels directly, summarize them in English, label every claim by its source type, and separate what is confirmed from what is community translation or speculation.
