What is the update “LIMBO,” which shapes the fate of heroes from the Valley?
▶️ Acquire the original skin series “LIMBO”
▶️ Uncover secrets hidden within a world descending into chaos
▶️ Claim exclusive rewards through the “LIMBO Card Collection Event”
The world’s most-played MOBA game*1, Honor of Kings, presents an update celebrating diverse art and culture, inspired by traditional folktales and spirit legends from around the globe—Latin America, Southeast Asia, the Middle East—and centered on a new original skin series titled “LIMBO.”
This completely original story unfolds in a realm known as “LIMBO,” where a once-powerful entity called the “Nucleus” exploded, triggering the birth of a new society. From this chaos emerged multiple factions, each guided by differing beliefs and ideologies. Three heroes from opposing sides are now forced to make difficult choices between duty and emotion—decisions that will shape their own fates and determine the future of countless people. What awaits them in this turmoil? Their destiny?
From today through Thursday, November 13th, players can step into the new chapter “LIMBO” and participate in a variety of events to earn exclusive rewards—including limited edition original skins for three heroes: Donghuang the Noble, Milady the Witch, and Biron the Undead.
