Customer Introduction
TiMi Studio Group is a global leader in video game development and operations, dedicated to creating legendary adventures for gamers everywhere.
Honor of Kings is the first 5v5 competitive mobile game by Tencent's TiMi Studio. This high-quality game features a classic MOBA experience with 5v5 faircombat system.
Challenges & Goals
During fast-paced 5v5 MOBA matches, Honor of Kings players rely heavily on real-time voice communication to coordinate skill-combos, rotations and objective control. Players connect from diverse network conditions and device types, which may lead to variations in voice quality, latency and stability. Any latency, instability, or breakdown in voice communication during matches can lead to missed engagements, failed pushes and lost objectives, which ultimately weakens team coordination, situational awareness and the overall gameplay experience.
Why Tencent Cloud
Honor of Kings redefined in game communication by building a AI–driven voice ecosystem that seamlessly integrates gameplay coordination, AI companionship and social interaction. By combining Tencent Games’ GVoice real time voice platform with advanced AI capabilities, the game transformed voice from a basic feature into a core pillar of player experience and community building.
GVoice provides a stable, high-quality voice chat interaction service. With the implementation of a multitude of technologies in Honor of Kings, the game now serves as a benchmark for the industry. In addition to the classic Team Voice, Multi-room System, Voice Message, Speech-to-text features, the game is also the first to use a series of advanced features such as Civilized Voice and Magic Voice, adding support to a variety ofscenarios!
In AI Commander Mode, players step into the role of a commander through AI Teammates and Intelligent Gameplay Companion features, using standard voice chat to give precise commands to AI teammates. The system also analyzes live games and statistics to deliver actionable tips and insights on the fly, better enabling players to support team coordination and perfectly complementing the teamwork required in high-intensity 5v5 matches.
With Magic Voice, Honor of Kings introduced 7 real time voice effects, allowing players to instantaneously switch sound profiles, making open mic communication more inclusive, relaxed and socially engaging for teams.
Backed by Tencent’s global network of nodes, GVoice ensures stable, low latency voice communication across regions and devices, supporting Honor of Kings’ massive global player base.
