Honor of Kings: World Opens New Closed Beta in China Ahead of Spring 2026 Release

While global players continue to wait for access to Honor of Kings: World, a new closed beta test has been announced exclusively for players in China. The upcoming test will be available on PC and mobile platforms, with applications open from February 10 to February 23, 2026.

Confidential, Paid, and Data-Wiping Test

The new beta phase will be confidential, requiring selected participants to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) before gaining access. As a result, no official gameplay footage or new visuals are expected to surface during the test.

The beta will also be paid and data-wiping, meaning all player progress will be reset once the testing period concludes.

Cross-Platform Support and Requirements

The test will support cross-platform play, including PC, Android, iOS, and cloud gaming, allowing participants to experience the game across multiple devices.

However, specific hardware requirements must be met:

• Android devices must be powered by a Snapdragon 865 processor or better
• iOS users must have an iPhone 11 or newer

One of the Most Anticipated Mobile RPGs

Originally revealed in 2021, Honor of Kings: World is an open-world action RPG spin-off based on the globally popular Honor of Kings franchise. The game combines fast-paced combat with large-scale exploration, allowing players to team up with familiar heroes from the original title and utilize their signature abilities.

Beyond combat, the game also offers additional activities such as home-building and other lifestyle elements, expanding the experience beyond traditional action gameplay.

Global Release Window

While the upcoming closed beta is limited to China, a Spring 2026 global release window has already been confirmed. This places the expected launch between March and May 2026. No specific launch date has been announced yet, and further details are expected following the conclusion of the beta phase.

Players interested in participating in the Chinese closed beta must apply during the recruitment period and meet the specified hardware requirements. Additional information regarding test dates will be announced by the developer at a later time.
