If you’ve been keeping an eye on India’s MOBA community, you’ve likely come across this story more than once: an Honor of Kings India launch may finally be happening. The rumor has been circulating for quite some time, but this round feels more convincing than before.
Sources close to GamingonPhone have suggested that Honor of Kings could soon be gearing up for an Indian release. What makes this especially notable is that several separate sources are now sharing the same information, pointing toward a possible breakthrough.
While internal rumors are gaining momentum, the official announcement is not out
Honor of Kings is far from just another MOBA on mobile. When it launched globally on Android and iOS on June 20, 2024, expectations were extremely high—and it delivered. Reports indicate that within its first month, the game surpassed 50 million downloads and earned more than $100 million in revenue.
Previously known as King’s Glory in China, Honor of Kings has remained one of the most successful mobile titles worldwide for years. The international version was first revealed in June 2022, and its global rollout proved how powerful the franchise really is. Naturally, Indian players have been eager to know when they’ll get access.
India has been connected to the Honor of Kings brand several times over the past few years. Toward the end of 2023 and into early 2024, trademarks related to Honor of Kings: World were filed and even approved in the country. There were also earlier claims pointing to a possible June 2024 India launch for the main game, which ultimately never materialized.
To be clear, nothing has been officially confirmed yet. Until there is a formal statement from Level Infinite or Tencent Games, this remains speculation. Still, the growing buzz suggests something may finally be taking shape. The excitement in the air is hard to ignore—and it feels stronger than ever.
