Honor of Kings collaborates with one of the worlds most popular anime series and introduces a limited-time mode

I don’t know what's in the water over at TiMi Studio, but Honor of Kings has been cooking up a storm lately. Just last week, we had a huge overhaul with the game's first customisable hero, and now we are treated to a crossover with Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War.

There is a fair bit to this team-up, but let’s start with the lasting piece: hero skins. There are four to collect in various ways. Musashi - Ichigo Kurosaki and Feyd - Byakua Kuchiki can be obtained through the Thousand-Year Blood War Lucky Draw. This will stick around until July 16th. Pretty straightforward.

Bai Qi - Shihakusho is available through a Token exchange until July 10th, or through direct sale between July 11th and 16th. Finally, the best, because he is hands down the greatest Bleach character, the Hou Yi - Uryu Ishida skin can be found in the Redemption Shop using Normal Skin fragments starting July 4th.

To get these fragments, you can complete missions in 5 x 5 matches starting July 1st. You will also get some Dragon Crystals for good measure. Again, it will be available through Direct Sale between July 11th and 16th. But Ishida would not approve! Put in the effort!

Now for something a little more active. You can jump into the Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War-inspired Collab Mode until July 10th, dubbed Support Strike. Here, you will earn fragments as you push towers and defeat minions, monsters, dragons, and Heroes. Basic gameplay stuff, you will agree. However!

Get enough of these fragments, and you will be able to summon Ichigo Kurosaki or Byakuya Kuchiki for assistance. They will arrive through a Senkaimon and will replace your Hero for a limited time, letting you go nuts with a Zanpakutō. A nice little addition to gameplay before everyone collects all the skins and every game becomes this.

Honor of Kings is available to download from the App Store and Google Play.
