Guide Notes

This page collects short answers and links to the full pages. If you are new, the fastest orientation path is: World vs MOBA (which game is this?), then Can I Play (what is possible today?), then Global Alpha (the sign-up that actually matters).

Every answer here follows the site's source rule: official information is labeled as confirmed, community translations and reports are labeled as reported, and we do not invent dates.

FAQ

What kind of game is Honor of Kings: World?

An open-world action RPG set in the Honor of Kings universe — custom protagonist, real-time combat, co-op bosses, seamless world. Not a MOBA.

When does it release globally?

No official date. China launched April 2026 and a global alpha already ran in May 2026 with complete English localization — the honest inference is late 2026 at the earliest, and that is inference, not fact.

How do I get into the next global test?

Follow official channels (Level Infinite / Honor of Kings official site and Discord) and register the moment a new wave opens. Selection cannot be bought; the May 2026 alpha has ended and its progress was wiped.

Is it free to play?

The China version is free-to-play with cosmetic and progression monetization. The global model is expected to match but is unconfirmed.

Can I transfer my MOBA account?

The games are separate. No global account linking has been announced.

What language is the game in?

China version: Chinese. The global version will carry English and other languages — the PC-only alpha implies localization is underway, but the supported language list is unconfirmed.
