Short Answer

Honor of Kings: World launched in China on April 10, 2026 (PC) and April 17, 2026 (mobile). A global release date has not been announced. The strongest signal so far is that global alpha test registration is already open, which usually precedes a launch by several months to a year.

What Is Confirmed

  • China PC launch: April 10, 2026. China mobile launch: April 17, 2026, with cross-platform account sync.
  • Developed by TiMi Studio Group (Tencent); the global MOBA is published internationally by Level Infinite.
  • A global closed alpha already ran May 21-27, 2026 (PC-only, multiple Western and SEA regions, fully in English) — an international rollout is officially in motion.
  • Publisher statements describe the project as built for a global audience from the start.

What Is Still Unknown

  • The global release date — no official date, window, or year commitment exists.
  • Whether global launch will be simultaneous across regions or staged.
  • Whether the global version launches content-synced with China or behind it.

Guide Notes

Ignore any site that states a specific global release date. As of this page's last update, no official date exists — pages claiming 'November 2026' or similar are guessing for clicks.

The realistic reasoning: the global alpha ran in May 2026 with English localization already complete, and the China version has been operating since April. The typical remaining path is one broader beta phase, then launch — which makes late 2026 plausible and 2027 possible. Treat that as inference, not fact.

The best early-warning signals to watch: a second test phase being announced, a pre-registration campaign opening (distinct from test sign-up), and regional store listings appearing.

FAQ

Is Honor of Kings: World already released?

In China, yes — since April 2026 on PC and mobile. Globally, no. Only alpha test registration is open.

Did the publisher confirm a 2026 global release?

No. No public date or year commitment exists for the global version as of this page's last update.

Will there be pre-registration?

Not announced yet. Level Infinite's other global launches have used pre-registration campaigns, so it is likely but unconfirmed.
