According to the Livestreaming Tracker report for April 2026, Tencent's new game Honor of Kings: World rose into the top 10 RPG viewership rankings on Chinese livestreaming platforms. The game, which launched in early 2026, gained significant traction among streamers and viewers during April.
The report highlights that RPG titles continued to dominate China's livestreaming landscape in April, with Honor of Kings: World being one of the standout new entries. The game's success is attributed to its integration of the popular Honor of Kings IP with open-world RPG mechanics.
Other top RPGs in the April rankings included established titles like Genshin Impact and Naraka: Bladepoint, but Honor of Kings: World showed the strongest growth among new releases. The Livestreaming Tracker is a monthly report that analyzes viewership data from major Chinese platforms such as Douyu and Huya.
