2024 has been a year of expansion for the Honor of Kings esports circuit. In January 2024, Level Infinite unveiled plans to invest $15m (~£11.7m) into the MOBA’s ecosystem which included the hosting of tournaments and the entrance into new markets across the world.
Honor of Kings continues to attract interest from several markets. In June, French organisation Team Vitality unveiled its roster in addition to joining the title’s partnership programme which aims to support the growth of the esport and expand its outreach.
