Honor of Kings: Shangguan Wan'er Debuts as a Virtual YouTuber

Recently, Honor of Kings announced a new VTuber project featuring the character Shangguan Wan'er, sparking heated discussion among the player base. Given Tencent's previous technical success with the 'Xingtong' project, there is a moderate level of optimism regarding the motion capture and 3D modeling quality. However, since Shangguan Wan'er is a historically based character with high-complexity skill mechanics, the community is closely monitoring how these will be adapted for a live-streaming environment.

Players have reacted with a mix of humor and concern. Given her iconic in-game ultimate ability, fans are teasing, 'Can the streamer actually perform the flying combo live?' or 'Will the streamer be able to pull off the brush-stop technique?' There is also speculation about the voice actor, noting that the character shares a voice actress with Fu Hua from Honkai Impact 3rd, with many suggesting it's likely just a motion-capture stand-in rather than the original voice actress herself. Furthermore, some fans expressed anxiety over the 'toxic fandom' culture surrounding the game, fearing that the VTuber might fall victim to 'kaihe' (doxxing/personal information leaks) or descend into bizarre 'abstract' internet drama.
