Overview
Hello, World (你好，世界, Nǐ Hǎo, Shìjiè) is the umbrella launch event for Honor of Kings: World's S0 Season, covering the first-week festivities and on-ramp rewards. It launched alongside the PC public beta on April 10, 2026 and continues through the mobile launch on April 17, 2026 and beyond.
Component Events
Hello, World is not a single event; it is a collection of coordinated sub-events that run simultaneously during the launch window. Verified sub-events include:
Newcomer Journey (新手历程): 7-day login reward track with 15 and 30-day milestones.
Bountiful Cloud Festival (丰云庆典): Region-exploration rewards in Fengyunye.
Jixia Selections (稷下精选): Discovery and exploration tasks in Jixia Academy.
Shadow-Slaying Challenge (破敌灭影): Boss-focused challenge event granting a legendary Huanling spirit.
Resonance Legend (共鸣传说): Hero side-story events tied to each launch Resonance.
Jialuo: Song Upon Clouds (云中踏歌来): The S0 Battle Pass launch event.
Kunyou Many-Dreams (鲲游众梦): Mount-rewarding immersive storytelling event, through May 20.
Thematic Framing
Hello, World is framed as the player's welcome to the Primaera continent and the Child of the Primal Flow protagonist's first full week of awakening their Resonance powers. The 'Hello' framing is deliberate: it pitches the launch as the start of a long-term relationship between player and game, not a single-point-in-time launch.
Duration
Different sub-events have different durations. The umbrella Hello, World branding applies through the launch-window first-month window, after which sub-events conclude individually. The Kunyou Many-Dreams mount event specifically ends May 20, 2026 at 23:59, which is the latest confirmed end date in the cluster.
