Honor of Kings esports is growing, the game will continue serving the community
James Yang, Senior Director of the Global Esports Center at Level Infinite, recapped 2024 and unveiled plans for the 2025 esports year. The game invested a massive $15 million in esports programs in 2024. As its popularity grows, it decided to deliver more in the coming year.
Calling the memories from Honor of Kings Invitational Season 1 in Istanbul, Yang said that the game wasn’t global then. So, only 18 teams participated in that event. Now, the global presence and acceptance are on a new level. So, the upcoming events will carry the aura of that.
Honor of Kings always tried to spice up the esports scene. Competing the other giant MOBA titles has made the game a lot more experienced, and experiment oriented. However, things are going decent for the game. Players and fans can expect another great year in the fierce and destructive battles in intense MOBA while playing the beautiful creation from TiMi Studio Group.
