Honor of Kings, the world’s most played MOBA, has announced the launch of its biggest version update yet, transforming the title into Honor of Kings Plus. The update goes live on June 24 and brings a wave of free improvements and new content inspired by player feedback.

Game Producer Dean Huang revealed that the development team focused heavily on community input. The result is a refined and enriched experience with features designed to enhance gameplay and recognition.

A standout feature is Flowborn, an in-game avatar offering unprecedented customization. Unlike regular heroes, Flowborn reflects the player on the battlefield. Players can choose appearance, skin tone, outfits, and unlock more options. They can also create and share 2D posters using backgrounds, stickers, and nameplates.

Combat enhancements include:

• Adaptive weapon and skill system effective across lanes
• Buff selection during matches
• Rollout of Flowborn roles starting with Marksman on June 24, followed by Tank and Mage in July

The Honor of Kings Plus update also introduces a new performance-based recognition system. Players will earn Stars based on personal achievements, even when losing. “Highlight Moments” such as taking down a tower solo or carrying the team will offer higher ratings and more rewards.

The game now features real-time voice-to-text transcription and translation. Initially, it supports Chinese, English, Indonesian, and Malay. This is expected to improve communication between team members and new players alike.

Battlefield mechanics have been updated. Key changes include:

• Four mid lane minions for better balance
• Removal of the Central River Sprite
• Adjustments to River and Space Sprites
• Red Falcon rebalancing
• Reduced attributes of super minions
• Permanent availability of Teleport Summoner Skill

Honor Pass has been reworked following community feedback. A streamlined mission system now offers rewards for completing campaigns, missions, and achieving Highlight Moments. Players updating the game will receive a free Elite Pass for the first month. The new pass is themed around KWC and includes two skins: Nuwa-Syzygy Moonlight and Alessio EWC.

In addition, a limited-time event called Want It, Get It! offers a free 1688-Token skin voucher. Players can complete tasks from June 19 and redeem the voucher after updating the game on June 24. From June 28–30, the voucher can be used on any eligible skin released before January 1, 2025.

Also, from June 28–30, all in-game skins launched before June 24 will be free to use. This includes limited and legendary skins.

Honor of Kings Plus is set to redefine the mobile MOBA experience with this ambitious global update.
