You know what’s better than shouting at your teammates over missed ganks? Shouting with them while dressed like a martial arts movie extra. Honor of Kings is bringing back its beloved High Five Festival, a gloriously chaotic celebration of camaraderie, kung fu, and collective carnage—and yes, it’s every bit as bonkers as it sounds.

Starting 1 May and running until 8 May, the gorge will once again be filled with high-flying fists, slick new skins, and a team-based frenzy that might just rekindle your love for MOBA madness. And as if that’s not enough to tempt you back into the grind, Season 10—Warrior’s Call—also drops on the same day, complete with shiny new toys, a bouncy battlefield, and just enough performance upgrades to stop your phone from sounding like it’s about to lift off.

Enter the Kung Fu-verse

The High Five Festival isn’t just a glorified login event—it’s a full-blown alternate universe where your favourite heroes like Arli, Fei, Meng Ya, and Dun are getting a Wuxia-inspired glow-up. Picture your squad as a gang of kung fu masters—yes, really—and dive into fights that feel more House of Flying Daggers than standard three-lane strategy.

Form parties, spar together, and earn sweet in-game rewards while looking like you’ve walked off the set of an old-school martial arts flick.

Warrior’s Call: Season 10 Smacks Down

Season 10 is flexing harder than your gym bro after arm day. Here’s what’s dropping:

• Ziya – Protector’s Oath joins the Honor Pass skin lineup, perfect for players who want their warrior with a side of nobility.
• New Game Mode: Platform Bounce (1 May – 17 June) – Someone at the design table clearly thought: “What if trampolines, but for war?” Strategic launch pads will pop up near high ground towers, flinging you straight into teamfights faster than you can say “mid gap”.
• Peak Ranking Rework – The top 100 now get gilded bragging rights, and regional leaderboards let you flex your way to glory (and shame your mates while you’re at it).
• Performance Tweaks – Smoother frames, less overheating, and fewer stutters. It’s like your game finally went to therapy.

New Skins? Say Less.

Martial Mural is this season’s new skin line, and it’s dripping in style. Here’s the release calendar:

• Feyd – Gilded Burial (1 May, Direct Sale)
• Dun – Northern Frost (2 May, Direct Sale)
• Arli – Smoke of Partings (9 May, Limited-Time Lucky Draw)
• Martial Mural Background (9 May, also in Lucky Draw)

Rose Hearts & Dragon Onesies

From 1 May to 14 May, the Rose Treasure Pavilion opens for business, letting players trade Rose Hearts for exclusive skins. These are earned via special in-game events, which means: yes, more grinding. But for Gao in a Dragon Onesie? Worth it.

This season’s selections also include:

• Lady Sun – Rosebud Sweetheart
• Mayene – Mirage Foodie
• Yixing – Way of the World

Expect more when the pavilion returns in future rotations.

The 55 Privilege Card – Because Free Is Everyone’s Favourite Price

• Extra Preferred Lane picks
• Double Star Victory Buffs
• Tier Star Protection (for when you inevitably lose)

Plus, between 1 May to 30 May, there’ll be IRL rewards through exclusive location-based experiences at partner merchants. Go touch grass, but make it fashion.

Martial Summon – A Buddy System That Pays

Between 1 May to 14 May, the Martial Summon event lets you share an invite code and rack up Friendship Coins. Get enough of them and you can cash out for:

• Free Meng Ya Skin – Stonewill Soul
• Martial Mural Trails, Announcers, and Friendship items

So round up your friends, even the one who still builds crit on tanks, and reap the rewards.

In summary: Honor of Kings is back with its most explosive team event yet—equal parts kung fu fantasy, social bonanza, and patch note party. Whether you’re here for the skins, the trampolines of death, or just free stuff, there’s never been a better time to log in and throw hands… respectfully.
