To celebrate the upcoming event in Riyadh, Honor of Kings will release a new Esports World Cup skin called “Heavenblade” for dual-sword-wielding hero Allain. To coincide with the release of this new skin, Honor of Kings is also releasing a theme song for the Honor of Kings Esports called “Invincible” on July 29, which was produced by Mighty Mike and mixed by the Grammy-award-winning audio mixer Tom Norris.

Finally, Level Infinite revealed that Honor of Kings players can keep up with the Honor of Kings Invitational Midseason, 2024 Riyadh by participating in Honor of Kings in-game events. From July 26 to Aug. 4, players can earn event currency by logging in, playing matches, or spectating matches, and spending earned currency to flip the 12 squares that represent the 12 squads and claim rewards, with a chance to get Allain Epic skin.

The Honor of Kings Invitational Midseason, 2024 Riyadh will be streamed live on YouTube, Facebook, Twitch, TikTok, and through the Honor of Kings’ in-game TV.
