【Gossip】'Honor of Kings: World' Receives Software Copyright Registration, TiMi Chengdu Gears Up

Recently, data from Qichacha (a Chinese corporate information platform) revealed that Tencent's 'Honor of Kings: World' has officially received software copyright registration with version V1.0.0.1. As a highly anticipated open-world RPG, the title—first announced at the 2021 'Co-Creation Night'—is being developed by TiMi Studio and targets a global multi-platform release.

The community's reaction was full of shade and skepticism. Some fans mocked the milestone as finally putting content into the 'New Folder' (a common meme for vaporware). Trolls were quick to ask, 'Will this game launch first, or will its competitor (a jab at Tower of Fantasy) shut down first?' The main demand from players remains actual gameplay footage, with many doubting the 'multi-platform' promise and fearing it will just be another mobile game. Meanwhile, regarding the development in Chengdu, insiders noted that Tencent has been aggressively recruiting and hiring numerous outsourcing firms, signaling a full-throttle push for the game's production.
