Arena of Valor is a free-to-play 5v5 multiplayer online battle arena developed by TiMi Studio Group — an internal Tencent studio — and published globally by Level Infinite, with regional publishing by Garena across Southeast Asia, Netmarble in Korea and DeNA in Japan. It is the international adaptation of Honor of Kings: a separate version of the same game built specifically for markets outside mainland China, with heroes redesigned as original fantasy archetypes to avoid the Chinese historical and IP licensing constraints of the source game. Originally titled Strike of Kings before its international rollout, the game launched in Taiwan on October 12, 2016 and expanded progressively across Southeast Asia, Europe, North America and Nintendo Switch through 2018.

Key Features: • 5v5 MOBA — three-lane map; destroy the enemy base; teamfight and objective strategy • Mobile-first MOBA pioneer — proved competitive MOBA on touchscreens at mass scale in Asia • International adaptation of Honor of Kings — original fantasy heroes; no Chinese IP constraints
