The game owes players four FMVP awards; Nuanyang chose Armor as his chosen champion, with the title scheduled for release in 2028. (II)

The addition of another FMVP skin to the game has not been well received by the public. The reason is that there are already four unfinished designs, including Wang Zhaojun from AG Changsheng, Da Siming from AG Zhongyi, Goya from AG Yinuo, and Kai from WB Nuanyang. Players really don't understand the reason for the official announcement. The skin was supposed to be for 2024, but it has been delayed until 2026. The progress is slow, so what is the purpose of the announcement?

Rumors suggest that Honor of Kings will acquire the tournament hosting rights and will no longer co-brand with KPL.

With only one or two FMVP titles announced each year, and an average development time of two to three years, how can players possibly wait? Whether they'll even be released in the game remains uncertain. The only certainty is that the immortal Wang Zhaojun is highly likely to be released this month. It's a regular pattern that new additions to the Glory Collection, FMVP, and King's Shop systems are released around the Spring Festival. However, what players most want answered is: why is the FMVP development so far off?

Rumors suggest that Honor of Kings and the tournament organizers are at odds. The game itself wants to secure the tournament hosting rights, but KPL refuses to concede. Perhaps this is why a collaboration with an IP can generate unlimited revenue. Detective Conan, Frozen, and even the later-released "Ne Zha" are all highly popular and have characters to draw inspiration from. However, when it comes to adapting these characters into the game, the FMVP's first-week price is set at less than 100 yuan. Custom-made, finding inspiration, and designing takes time and doesn't generate profit, so it's been delayed as much as possible.

Warm Sun Armor, expected to be completed in 2028.

Whether it's true or false, let the audience debate it themselves. These are all just online claims, but the facts are right in front of us: the FMVP skin cycle is far too long, even longer than the Dream series products. The game's production is clearly sufficient, but KPL merchandise is stuck. If it doesn't take advantage of the trend, it will be delayed for several years. By then, players will have transferred or even retired, which will be a very awkward situation.

Wang Zhaojun will be released this month, while Nuanyang's armor will have to wait until at least 2028. The quality is high, as are Jing's Blazing Sun Divine Light, Xiaopang's Tiger, and Yinuo's Cloud Nuo Thousand Mountains. They have all lived up to expectations and sold very well after their release. I just hope that the official team will not make players wait too long. Once the hype dies down and the topic fades, there will be nothing to look forward to.
