- Sources close to GamingonPhone suggest that Honor of Kings is finally preparing for an Indian release.
- Trademark filings for the franchise were previously approved in India between late 2023 and early 2024.
- The game saw massive global success in 2024 with over fifty million downloads in its first month.
If you’ve been following the MOBA scene in India, you’ve probably seen this headline before. Honor of Kings India launch incoming. The rumor has been floating around for a long time now. But this time, things feel a little different.
Sources close to GamingonPhone have strongly hinted that Honor of Kings could finally be preparing for an India release, and what’s interesting is that multiple independent sources are pointing in the same direction.
While internal rumors are gaining momentum, the official announcement is not out
Honor of Kings isn’t just another mobile MOBA. When it launched globally on Android and iOS on June 20, 2024, it carried massive expectations and delivered strong numbers. Within its first month, the game reportedly crossed 50 million downloads and generated over $100 million in revenue.
Originally known as King’s Glory in China, Honor of Kings has long been one of the biggest mobile games in the world. The global version was first announced back in June 2022, and its worldwide rollout showed just how strong the IP really is. So naturally, Indian players have been asking, when is it our turn?
Interestingly, India has been linked to the Honor of Kings IP multiple times over the past few years. Back in late 2023 and early 2024, trademarks related to Honor of Kings: World were filed and even approved in India. There were also earlier reports suggesting a June 2024 India release for the main game, which ultimately didn’t happen.
Again, I want to confirm that nothing is official yet, and until there’s a formal announcement from Level Infinite or Tencent Games, this remains speculation. But the noise around it is definitely getting louder. Can you feel the air? Well, I do.
