What happened to not buying skins? Honor of Kings made a solid 800 million yuan during the Year of the Horse Spring Festival, topping the mobile game charts.


Saying one thing and meaning another is typical of Honor of Kings players. After the Year of the Horse limited-edition series was released, there was undeniably a unusually quiet reception this year. Discussions were low, with widespread complaints that the design was poorly executed, failing to surpass the Year of the Snake, and that the focus was solely on light effects. The characters were all chosen for high difficulty, with Guan Yu, Diao Chan, Ma Chao, and Yun Ying; Doria was permanently banned; Di Renjie's strength was mediocre; and then there was the limited-edition Galo with her ultimate skill, followed by a 520 limited-edition return. Anyway, after buying the "Lucky Card," new releases kept coming. Was a limited-edition series really that urgently needed? At least, this is based on rumors and observations from forums.

However, the actual data tells a different story. Honor of Kings continues to hold the top spot on the mobile game charts, especially after the Spring Festival. In the MOBA genre, it has undoubtedly created countless legends. High revenue was expected, but the published figures always leave everyone speechless. Even after ten years of operation, its success remains formidable. It has now become a ticket to social circles; forget about designer clothes, the quality of Honor of Kings skins, and rank—it remains a symbol of status. The festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival is getting weaker year by year. Rather than socializing with relatives and being repeatedly questioned about their private lives, young people would rather stay in their rooms and play a game with friends during New Year's visits.

Tencent Games earned 800 million yuan in a week, dominating the top five spots.

The Spring Festival benefits are plentiful, and the rain of skins follows suit. The sheer number each year is dazzling, with several series and individual skins available for purchase, including Unparalleled, Collector's Edition, Epic, and Legendary skins. With discounts on high-end skins, it's hard not to be tempted. Even if you don't plan to buy, some people will take the opportunity to "snap up" some bargains. With the added bonus of a Lucky Card, considering the difference between the original price and the discounted price, you'll end up with an extra skin. Why not?

With the Spring Festival over and the Lantern Festival behind us, the revenue of Honor of Kings has finally been revealed. In just one short period, it earned 800 million yuan, taking only one week to achieve a commanding lead and become the number one mobile game. It's truly awe-inspiring. The top five are all Tencent games: Peacekeeper Elite, Delta Force, Golden Shovel Wars, and Valorant, highlighting the dominance of this gaming empire. People say they don't care, but their actions speak louder than words. It's a rare opportunity to spend during the Spring Festival.
