Arena Of Valor is the westernised version of Honor Of Kings (pic), which Tencent originally released in China where it is hugely popular.

LOS ANGELES: Arena Of Valor, Tencent Games’ first title to ever make the leap to console, just hit one million downloads on the Nintendo Switch, the company announced on Dec 14. Proof, it believes, that it can bring more of its mobile titles to console. 

“This is a very important milestone for not only the game, but also for us as a publisher coming to the West,” Edward Gan, product manager for the game at Tencent, said. “We’ve been able to take a game from its mobile roots and redevelop it for the Nintendo Switch, the first of its kind mobile home console, and I believe that gamers saw this natural fit which has resonated through their adoption of the game.”
