Abstract

The characters in the popular game “Honor of Kings” are constructed based on historical characters. After being adapted and processed, they enter the public view, bringing cultural communication effects that cannot be ignored. From the perspective of cultural communication, the paper sorts out the game characters and discusses the image transformation and skin settings of the heroes in “Honor of Kings” and their possible impact. The transformation process intensifies the stereotype and flattening of the hero image, which not only affects the cultural image of the historical characters themselves, but also makes the cognition of the players on the historical characters and the shaping of the historical space-time concept deviate.
