Honor of Kings Esports in 2025: Everything you need to know

Honor of Kings was released globally earlier this year only, but it has since become a leading mobile esports title. The game committed $15 million alone to esports in 2024.

Now, after a successful year that saw its viewership grow steadily, Honor of Kings has announced the return of all of the major international tournaments and regional pro leagues.

Invitational Season 3

The third season of the Honor of Kings Invitational will take place in Spring 2025. Furthermore, Level Infinite has said that it will feature top teams from around the world.

Invitational Midseason

With Level Infinite entering into a multi-year partnership with the Esports World Cup Foundation, Honor of Kings is set to return to Riyadh next summer.

Again, no information regarding its format or prize pool has been revealed, though. It will likely have regional qualifiers with a few top-invited teams. After the omission of China in the Honor of Kings World Championship 2024, it will be interesting to see if the region is included in the Invitational Midseason.
