Honor of Kings Announces Three New Heroes for 2027: Jiangjiang, Fuhe, and Hongfu – The Chang'an and Great Wall Storyline Expands Further

Honestly, rumors about new heroes have been everywhere in recent years. However, heroes officially confirmed during Co-Creation Night and directly labeled as part of the “2027 lineup” carry a very different level of credibility.

During Honor of Kings Co-Creation Night on October 25, 2026, the developers avoided empty publicity stunts and dropped a major reveal at the end: silhouettes and partial profiles of three new heroes—JiangJiang, Fu He, and Hong Fu.

The three names immediately set the community on fire. Based on the limited official information, these heroes are not random outsiders. All three are closely connected to Chang'an and the Great Wall, two of the most important regions in the Honor of Kings universe. For lore fans, this means the much-loved Chang'an storyline is finally moving forward again.

This article breaks down the official announcement, character backgrounds, possible skill mechanics, and expected release schedule.

Key Official Reveal at a Glance

Based on community discussions, the official event has already given us clear clues about the roles and release order of these three heroes.

The schedule for these three heroes spans the entire year of 2027. Judging from the poster order and past release patterns, JiangJiang is almost certainly the first to arrive.

JiangJiang: The Spice-Making Girl Who Fights Forgetfulness with Scent

Among the three silhouettes, JiangJiang has the clearest profile and the most lovable design. Her small, adorable figure appears to have little goat horns, and her body shape is close to Cai Wenji's.

Story: A Struggle Between Warmth and Forgetting

Compared with the grand stories of world destruction and salvation common in the Honor of Kings universe, JiangJiang's story feels unusually gentle and personal.

One key line from the official CG says: “Ginger is the oldest totem of the goat clan and a symbol of the tribe. Later, it became a spice with warming and cold-dispelling properties.”

That line clearly defines JiangJiang. She is a young spice maker who has traveled a long way alone. She believes that the people she misses have not truly disappeared; they are hidden within familiar scents. When she lights her incense burner, those covered by the fog of memory can return to her side.

This is a story about memory, longing, and warmth. In Chang'an, a city filled with war and political intrigue, JiangJiang feels like a ray of soft light. Her skills are therefore unlikely to focus on raw damage.

Skill Prediction: Incense Burner and Buffs

Based on the spice theme and goat-clan totem, JiangJiang may create an incense area beneath her feet. Allies inside could receive continuous healing or increased resistance.

The memory theme could become an aura buff, such as extending ally buff durations or leaving a memory mark after an ally is defeated.

Many players believe she has a strong connection to Dunshan and the Great Wall. This could point to terrain interactions or special shield synergies.

Her likely role is a traditional enchanter support similar to Cai Wenji or Sang Qi, providing sustain and utility protection.

Release Prediction

Considering current release patterns and the zodiac-year tradition, JiangJiang will very likely arrive in January 2027 as the first new hero of the Year of the Goat season.

Fu He: From CG Supporting Character to Playable Diviner

If JiangJiang is a surprise newcomer, Fu He is the hero players have been waiting for.

Background: A Core Member of the Miracle Bureau

Fu He is not a completely new face. He has appeared several times in previous main-story CGs. He is a core member of the Miracle Bureau team and has crossed paths with Yun Ying, Li Yuanfang, Kong Kong'er, and Nezha.

He is the most talented junior disciple of Xuandu Temple and carries the “Tianheng Eight Coins,” which he uses to read safety hexagrams for people he cares about. In the complicated city of Chang'an, a diviner who can predict fortune and misfortune would have tremendous strategic value.

 Skill Prediction: Fortune Hexagrams and Formations

Fu He's kit will likely revolve around divination.

His passive may display an auspicious or ominous hexagram based on kills, assists, or time. An auspicious state could grant movement speed or damage, while an ominous state may debuff nearby enemies.

With his bagua artifact, he may summon formations that provide damage reduction, healing, or crowd control.

His ultimate could summon geomantic tornadoes or ghost fire, or alter the team's fortune by forcibly turning every ally's hexagram auspicious.

He is likely to be a support or utility mage, perhaps an enhanced version of Ming, able to link allies while influencing large areas through formations.

Hong Fu: The Most Mysterious Hero, an Assassin Running Through Chang'an at Night?

Hong Fu has the least information available. So far, the official reveal includes only an elegant, dynamic silhouette.

 Appearance and Story

The name Hong Fu immediately recalls Hong Fu from the Tang legend “The Story of the Bearded Warrior,” one of the Three Warriors of the Dust. Originally a maid serving the powerful official Yang Su, she recognized talent and ran through the night to join Li Jing. She is a rebellious and heroic female character.

An interesting detail is that one of Luna's early companion skins was also called “Hong Fu.” Could this imply a connection of destiny between the new hero and Luna? Her weapon might even be a long sword or a silk ribbon.

Her silhouette suggests a light-footed fighter with flowing clothes, most likely an assassin or warrior. A mysterious heroine who moves through Chang'an by night would fit the storyline perfectly.

Release Time

As the final hero in the lineup, Hong Fu is expected to meet players in the second half of 2027. The developers are likely still polishing her design and mechanics.

The Chang'an and Great Wall Storyline Returns

Honor of Kings' recent new-hero plans appear to be shifting from creating new mysteries to resolving old ones. The reveal of JiangJiang, Fu He, and Hong Fu sends a strong signal that the Chang'an and Great Wall storyline is approaching its climax.

Their origins, backgrounds, and connections to NPCs such as Dunshan, Yun Ying, and Li Yuanfang all point toward the ancient wall. This suggests that the world-building of the Honor of Kings universe is becoming more interconnected.

Based on the current information, JiangJiang focuses on warmth and memory, Fu He on strategy and planning, while Hong Fu may represent freedom and vengeance. These three contrasting styles will collide on the battlefield in 2027.

Final Thoughts

The 2027 new-hero lineup is off to a very promising start.

Instead of more overused swordsmen or marksmen, the game is introducing a spice maker, a diviner, and a female warrior. Innovation in role mechanics is much more valuable than simply stacking bigger numbers.

For support players, JiangJiang and Fu He are definitely worth watching. Whether Hong Fu can become the next jungle queen will depend on how her mechanics are designed.

The Honor of Kings battlefield is bound to become even more exciting in 2027. Are your gold and hero fragments ready?
