Attendees at the event had hands-on access to the title, which is set in the Honor of Kings universe and appears on multiple platforms.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tencent describes the game as a strategy hero card battler that emphasizes building synergies and outplaying opponents with tactical combinations. The company\u2019s official description reads: &#8220;build unique combos, forge your strategy, and become the ultimate ACE.&#8221;<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project was first revealed in 2022 as King\u2019s Chess, an auto chess\u2013style spin-off using familiar Honor of Kings heroes. Over roughly four years of development the concept evolved into the current card-battler format. Tencent ran several closed tests in China, including one in June 2026, to refine systems and balance.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Sept. 10 release date currently applies only to China. Tencent has not confirmed a global release schedule. An earlier trademark filing in Europe had spurred speculation about an international launch, but the company has not announced plans outside China.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Honor of Kings is one of Tencent\u2019s largest franchises. Honor of Kings: Ace began as a smaller experimental project and expanded through multiple testing rounds and design changes to its present form.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tencent will release Honor of Kings: Ace in China on Sept. 10, 2026.
