A Strategic Move into New Genres

Codenamed “Shooting” signifies Tencent’s strategy to diversify the Honor of Kings universe beyond its original multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) format. By exploring new genres like hero shooters, Tencent aims to leverage the existing popularity of Honor of Kings to reach a broader audience.

Global Launch and Talent Recruitment

Although in its early development stages, “Shooting” is targeting a global launch. TiMi Studios is actively recruiting for key positions, including Senior Special Effects Designer, Senior Combat Designer, and Senior Numerical Planner, all based in Chengdu, China, requiring over three years of experience.
