Synopsis

Honor of Kings: Chapter of Glory is a 2024 live-action adaptation of Tencent’s blockbuster mobile MOBA game, weaving an epic saga around the introduction of Jing Xiang Shei Yi as the fierce warrior Li Xu. Set in the fractured Kingdom of Tianhai, the story follows rival factions racing to claim the Ember of Eternity, a relic said to grant ultimate power. As clan alliances form and betrayals strike, Li Xu must navigate shifting loyalties, discover hidden truths about her past, and unite disparate heroes in the face of an encroaching darkness. From the frost-bitten peaks of the Ice Spire Mountains to the neon-lit streets of Celestial City, the series balances explosive battle choreography with intimate moments of character reflection. With richly textured world-building, sweeping cinematography, and a stirring musical score, Honor of Kings: Chapter of Glory offers both longtime game fans and newcomers an immersive journey into a realm where glory is earned through courage and sacrifice.
