Honor of Kings, the world’s most-played MOBA, is closing out an exceptional 2025 with a series of esports-inspired in-game events and the launch of an exclusive Year of Tiger skin collection, inviting players worldwide to celebrate the year’s finale and kick off 2026 in competitive style.
Starting today, players can represent their nations, take part in an innovative 5v5v5 Tri-National Clash mode, and unlock limited-time Year of Tiger skins designed to honor competitive spirit and community pride.
National Star: Rise Up
From December 31 at 5:00 AM GMT through February 10 at 5:00 AM GMT, players can join the Path to Esports in-game event, stepping into the role of national esports competitors. By staying active, completing missions, and climbing the rankings, players can earn rewards and rise to the top as elite esports stars.
Key gameplay features include:
Spriteling Troop
Players can place their national flags in-game, granting buffs to nearby teammates within a defined range.
Tri-National Clash
Three teams of five players, each representing a different country through AI matching, compete for the esports championship.
Teams score points by defeating enemy heroes or destroying towers. When one team reaches 100 points, the final battle begins, with the two trailing teams forming a temporary alliance. Victory is secured when the leading team holds first place for 90 seconds or destroys an opposing tower.
Players can also unlock additional skills through the Spriteling Troop system.
Three-Player PK Battles
Daily matchmaking pairs three players from different countries to complete missions, climb rankings, earn titles, and unlock rewards.
