Honor of Kings
Honor of Kings is Tencent's mobile MOBA, the highest-grossing mobile game in China and one of the most-played titles across Southeast Asia and the Middle East.
What is Honor of Kings?
Is Honor of Kings down? Honor of Kings (王者荣耀, Wangzhe Rongyao) is a mobile MOBA developed by TiMi Studio Group under Tencent Games, launched in China in November 2015. It is the highest-grossing mobile game ever made, with annual revenue consistently exceeding $1 billion and a peak of over $2.8 billion in a single year. With over 100 million daily active users at its peak — primarily in China, Southeast Asia, and now expanding Western markets — Honor of Kings is the most-played MOBA in the world by active user count, surpassing even League of Legends on a daily basis.
The game features a roster of heroes inspired by Chinese historical and mythological figures, adapted for accessible 5v5 MOBA gameplay designed for mobile touchscreens with matches typically running 15–20 minutes. TiMi Studio expanded the game internationally as Honor of Kings, having previously released a global version under the name Arena of Valor. Tencent's investment in global expansion has accelerated since 2023, bringing the game to new markets with tailored hero releases and regional esports competitions.
Honor of Kings server issues, given the game's scale, affect an enormous number of users when they occur. Common symptoms include matchmaking failures, players being disconnected mid-match and receiving unfair abandonment penalties, rank rating not updating correctly, and authentication failures through Tencent's account system. Server stress is highest during major esports events, seasonal festivals, and new hero release windows.
