Mobile MOBA game Honor of Kings is in an incredibly unique position, possibly unlike any other esports title.
After dominating Chinese esports following its debut 10 years ago, Honor of Kings’ global launch in 2024 now sees the title build an entirely new ecosystem to support its worldwide market.
The King Pro League (KPL), Honor of Kings’ franchised esports league in China, features a competitive structure and passionate fandom that can fill 62,000 seats at the country’s national stadium. However, its global esports ecosystem is still in its development stage as the game looks to create a strong foothold in various new markets.
