The announcement comes just days after the game's official launch in India on March 11, 2026.
Level Infinite, the publisher, has committed 100 million INR to build local infrastructure and creator programs. This investment forms the foundation of a comprehensive esports roadmap aimed at nurturing homegrown talent.
The centerpiece of the plan is the KINGS Arise India City Tour, which brings three high-stakes offline LAN events to major cities. Bengaluru will host the first event on March 22, followed by Mumbai on March 29 and Delhi on April 5. Each LAN tournament features a prize pool of 100,000 INR, giving regional players a real shot at glory and qualification opportunities.
These city events will serve as key stepping stones toward the two guaranteed slots at the Kings World Cup during the Esports World Cup 2026 in Riyadh. Indian squads will therefore enjoy a direct route to global competition against the world's top Honor of Kings teams.
Additional highlights include an India-inspired hero scheduled for release in June and a nationwide college tour to engage students and grow the grassroots scene. The moves have already sparked huge excitement across social media, with fans and aspiring pros eagerly preparing for the LAN qualifiers.
Registration details and full formats for the Bengaluru, Mumbai and Delhi events will be shared soon through the official Honor of Kings India app and channels. With strong pre-registration numbers and this clear competitive pathway, the title is poised to become a major force in India's booming mobile esports market.
