Honor of Kings Introducing New India Inspired Hero This June
According to the creators, the team at TiMi Studio Group, the character will not be an ordinary addition to the game. They will be making sure to include the local culture and unique features of the country of India directly into the game’s existing environment.
Though the name and abilities of the character are yet to be revealed, the character’s design will be true to the country’s culture and heritage, which is vibrant and diverse. Players will be able to enjoy the game with a character that has traditional elements, combined with the high-quality battlefield environment for which Honor of Kings is known.
When Can We Expect the Release?
While the official PR confirms a June launch, fans are already buzzing with excitement about exactly when the hero will drop. Considering the general trends and patterns followed while rolling out major game updates, many experts and fans are already speculating the possibility of the hero being dropped sometime in the middle of June.
A mid-month drop would be perfect, considering the timing of the summer season, and would give fans ample time to get accustomed to the new hero’s abilities.
Moreover, the timing would be just right, considering the KINGS’ Arise: India City Tour, which might just drop the new character just when the competitive scene reaches its boiling point.
