by

  • Honor of Kings is set to debut a major new update with the All-Star Fighters Open
  • It’ll debut a number of new skins, challenging quests and more
  • The event starts today, so check in for some street-fighting fun

As a seasoned gamer with roots deeply embedded in the martial arts gaming scene, I can’t help but feel exhilarated at the prospect of Honor of Kings’ All-Star Fighters Open! With my fingers still tingling from the adrenaline rush of Street Fighter II tournaments back in the day, I’m ready to dive into this MOBA update with open arms.

Tencent’s popular MOBA game, Honor of Kings, has just received a fresh update featuring temporary cosmetics. If you enjoy action-packed battles, martial arts themes, and eye-catching new attire for three characters, this update is tailored to your preferences as the All-Star Fighters Open begins today.

The principal trio – Mayene, Lian Po, and Lam – will be adorned with costumes inspired by Capoeira, Silat (a Southeast Asian martial art), and Lucha Libre combat styles respectively. Each of them will have unique events occurring throughout August, where you can acquire their new outfits by finishing specific tasks.

As a devoted fan, I can’t help but notice some striking similarities between All-Star Fighters and classic fighting games like Tekken and Street Fighter. While we’re not claiming it’s an exact replica, the introduction of unique skins inspired by diverse martial arts styles certainly piques my interest. Add to that the allure of a global tournament shrouded in mystery, and I can’t help but draw parallels. It’s almost as if these games have shared their essence with All-Star Fighters!


Get ready for a new challenger

The update doesn’t just bring in cosmetic additions of course, there’s also the debut of a new champion, Ziya, who arrives on August 20th. A long-ranged magic-user, Ziya can gain extra EXP from slaying enemies and buffing his allies and is a recommended starting character for newcomers.
