Silat, Lucha Libre and Capoeira, oh my
- Honor of Kings is set to debut a major new update with the All-Star Fighters Open
- It'll debut a number of new skins, challenging quests and more
- The event starts today, so check in for some street-fighting fun
Honor of Kings, the top MOBA from Tencent, is getting a new update with a set of limited-time cosmetics. If you're a fan of butt-kicking, martial arts and cool new looks for a trio of characters, then this is the update for you as the All-Star Fighters Open arrives today.
The three starring characters are Mayene, Lian Po and Lam, who'll all be getting skins themed after Capoiera, Silat (a Southeast Asian martial art) and Lucha Libre fighting styles. They'll each have a specific event taking place throughout August where you can earn their new skins by completing specific missions.
Now, we're not saying that All-Star Fighters is inspired by fighting games but, well let's just say we see some hints. With new skins inspired by a variety of fighting styles and the perennial story of a mysterious open tournament tempting skilled martial artists from across the world, it's hard not to see some trace of Tekken or Street Fighter in here.
The update doesn't just bring in cosmetic additions of course, there's also the debut of a new champion, Ziya, who arrives on August 20th. A long-ranged magic-user, Ziya can gain extra EXP from slaying enemies and buffing his allies and is a recommended starting character for newcomers.
