Honor of Kings: World Reveals New Jixia Academy Gameplay Footage, Mixed Reception from Community

The developers of 'Honor of Kings: World' recently released a Lunar New Year special featuring a new in-engine look at the Jixia Academy. While the footage claims to be in-game, it is limited to environment exploration, lacking any actual combat gameplay.

The reaction from the community has been tepid. Many players criticized the character modeling and expressed dissatisfaction with the developer's aesthetic choices—often referring to the 'Teng-style' (referring to Tencent) of art as something they struggle to appreciate, specifically citing a 'clashing mix of Eastern and Western styles'.

Technically, keen observers noted heavy post-processing, questioning how much of this reflects the actual final product. The comment section was filled with sarcastic remarks like 'give me a million and three college students' and frustration over the lack of 'big news' (meaning substantial content). Some users even pointed out the irony of the platform algorithm pushing leaks from a competing game right below this official video.
