Honor of Kings is officially on its way to India, and excitement in the mobile gaming and esports community is at an all-time high. Developed by TiMi Studio Group and published globally by Level Infinite, the game is one of the biggest MOBA titles in the world. After the India trailer dropped recently, fans and esports organisations have already started preparing for what could be a major shift in the country’s competitive mobile gaming scene.
Indian MOBA players are returning to ranked grind, content creators are discussing hero pools and meta predictions, and top esports organisations are internally building potential lineups. The hype is real, and the ecosystem is already forming even before launch.
Honor of Kings India Release Date
According to our sources, the Honor of Kings India release date is set for 10 March 2026. While the developers have not publicly confirmed this date yet, multiple industry conversations suggest that this timeline is locked internally.
The expected launch window aligns with the global esports calendar, giving Indian teams enough time to prepare for international tournaments later in 2026. Pre-registration details and official confirmation from the publisher are expected in the coming weeks.
India Expected to Get Two Slots at Esports World Cup 2026
As previously mentioned by TalkEsport, India is expected to receive two slots for Honor of Kings at the Esports World Cup 2026.
This is a big development because it shows that India is being considered a serious competitive region from the beginning. With two potential slots on the line, competition within the country is likely to be intense.
Several prominent Indian esports organisations have already started preparing their Honor of Kings rosters. Internal trials, scouting, and early practice sessions are reportedly underway. At the same time, many experienced MOBA players have resumed grinding, hoping to secure a spot in top teams before official qualifiers begin.

What the HOK India Trailer Revealed
The recently released HOK India trailer confirmed that the game is “coming soon” and showcased the signature 5v5 gameplay set in the Gorge of Kings. The visuals, hero abilities, and competitive tone clearly indicate that the focus will not just be on casual players but also on esports development.
Globally, Honor of Kings has one of the strongest competitive ecosystems, including the King Pro League, which has recorded massive live audiences and viewership numbers. Bringing that structure to India could significantly boost the country’s MOBA esports scene.
With a reported 10 March 2026 release date, two expected slots at the Esports World Cup 2026, and Indian organisations already preparing rosters, Honor of Kings is shaping up to be one of the biggest mobile esports launches in India.
If executed properly, the game could quickly become a major title in the Indian competitive circuit.
