Summary

On August 27, the launch conference for Honor of Kings Chess was held, officially confirming that the game has surpassed 70 million pre-registrations and will launch on all platforms on September 10. As an auto chess spin-off of the Honor of Kings IP, the title has drawn significant attention since its announcement. It combines iconic heroes from Honor of Kings with strategic auto chess mechanics, where players draft units, optimize synergies, and compete in fast-paced battles.
