Three-time Olympic Games silver medallist and badminton legend Datuk Lee Chong Wei has now been added to a hit mobile game.
Chong Wei’s virtual debut comes in the form of a skin for the character Han Xin in the multiplayer online battle area (MOBA) title Honor Of Kings, complete with a racquet and shuttle in hand.
The skin has been available for free since Aug 9 and can be claimed by collecting a total of 1,000 tokens through various in-game tasks.
The skin has been available for free since Aug 30 and can be claimed in-game by collecting a total of 1,000 tokens through various in-game tasks. These tasks include inviting friends to start playing the game, which nets a randomised amount of tokens ranging from 50 to 500.
Players can also receive a first-time login bonus of 120 tokens, along with 30 tokens each day for consecutive logins, and an additional 55 tokens for completing a match with friends.
This continues the trend of turning star athletes into video game characters, with previous examples like basketball star LeBron James joining the cast of battle royale game Fortnite, and footballer Lionel Messi in Call Of Duty.
