Liu Cixin will help the publisher to "explore new possibilities from the integration of science fiction literature and games, and together create a digitial cultural IP to the east," the announcement said.
The post also announced a collaboration with famous Chinese sci-fi writer Liu Cixin (The Three-Body Problem) who is working on Honor Of King's series in general, but also a new IP. A trailer for the game was posted alongside the details, but no release date was specified. The news came from Honor of King's official Weibo (China's Twitter-like platform), which has 14 million followers. The new title will be an open-world action RPG and is planned for a worlwide launch on multiple platforms. Now, Tencent Games and TiMi Studio Group have announced Honor of Kings: World, a new title based on Honor of Kings. To put that into perspective, the second-highest earner was Supercell's Brawl Stars, which generated over $320 million between January and August 2021, making it a distant runner-up in terms of money made.
