TiMi Studio Group is a Tencent Games development and operations group headquartered in Shenzhen. Tencent identifies TiMi as the developer behind Honor of Kings and other mobile and global game properties.[1][2]
TiMi’s role in the Honor of Kings ecosystem extends beyond game development into competition operations. The 2026 Honor of Kings Challenger Cup lists TiMi Studios alongside Hero Esports as an organizer, while Tencent Games remains the parent business context for the studio.[4]
PTG Database Analysis
TiMi connects game IP, publishing infrastructure and esports operations inside the Tencent Games ecosystem. For commercial research, that makes Honor of Kings a useful example of how a developer group can influence both the product platform and the competition layer without being treated as the same entity as Tencent Games or the competition itself.
