If you haven't heard of Honor of Kings, you're probably not alone, even if at its peak it attracted over 100 million players per day. Those figures, however, were for China alone, while attempts to localize what's essentially a League of Legends clone, but with heroes drawn from Chinese mythology, haven't had the same impact.
However, it's been an interesting few years as games from China that are also distinctly culturally Chinese have captured a lot more Western attention than previously. It probably helps that the production values have also soared, with titles like Black Myth: Wukong, Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, and Infinity Nikki holding their own against the efforts of AAA in the West.
