Wangzhe Wanxiang Qi is a spinoff game of the Honor of Kings IP. The game has announced that pre-registrations across all platforms reached 70 million. After launch, the game carried relatively few monetization features and climbed to No. 9 on the iOS top-grossing chart. During an August 27, 2026 livestream, its gameplay was summarized as "refresh, build, blow up the board": players repeatedly refresh the card pool and keep buying and combining identical heroes; once a hero on the board reaches level 100, it can unleash an ultimate skill.
Each match starts with six players and allows teams of up to three people, with all participants finally scored according to the team's highest placement. The game offers a private coaching mode in which friends can join a friend's match via private chat, share the friend's screen, and use a separate voice channel. The new hero Wang Wei launched simultaneously in Honor of Kings and Wangzhe Wanxiang Qi in September 2026; during Gamescom, Honor of Kings and Wangzhe Wanxiang Qi exhibited together as members of the Honor of Kings IP. The game can directly inherit friend intimacy levels from Honor of Kings. Earlier, Honor of Kings had included a built-in "Wangzhe Simulation Battle" mode.
