Honor of Kings: World Release Window Revealed at iPhone 16 Launch Event – Coming in 2025
During the iPhone 16 event, Apple unveiled the global release window for Tencent's open-world RPG, Honor of Kings: World, set for 2025.
During the iPhone 16 launch event, Apple surprised fans by announcing the release date window for Honor of Kings: World, Tencent’s highly anticipated open-world RPG based on the popular mobile MOBA, Honor of Kings. This was unexpected, given that the game's official social media had been quiet since October 2023.
Honor of Kings: World was first revealed in 2021 during Honor of Kings’ seventh anniversary, but development updates have been sparse since then. At the iPhone 16 event, Apple emphasized mobile gaming by showcasing new gameplay footage of Honor of Kings:
World running on the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max, which boast the A18 chip and expansive displays. The event highlighted the game's ultra graphics mode designed specifically for iPhone 16, featuring higher resolution, advanced lighting, global illumination, and extended viewing distances for an immersive gaming experience.

This marks a major moment for both Apple and mobile gaming as they continue to push the boundaries of what can be achieved on mobile platforms.
