JJ Lin is no stranger to creating chart-topping hits, but this time, the Mandopop icon is setting his sights on the gaming world.
To mark the 10th anniversary of Honor of Kings, one of the world’s biggest mobile games, the two-time Golden Melody Award winner has released a brand-new theme song titled ‘Atlas of Tomorrow’. Out now on QQ Music, Kugou, Kuwo, as well as Spotify, Apple Music, and KKBOX, the track is already a breakout hit — debuting at No. 1 on multiple charts and racking up over 600 million views across social platforms.
The power anthem, written by hit lyricist Kevin Yi, blends JJ Lin’s signature emotional delivery with sweeping melodies that speak to dreamers and gamers alike. “This is dedicated to every dreamer still writing their future chapters,” JJ shared. “Let music guide you to the stories we’re meant to live.”
Beyond the music charts, ‘Atlas of Tomorrow’ has exploded into a cultural movement. Over 280 tourism boards across China have used the song as a soundtrack to cityscape montages, sparking a viral wave on short video platforms. From Beijing skylines to Guizhou mountain views, fans are soundtracking their own journeys with JJ Lin’s voice.
Thematically, the track is built around “Gathering for Journey”, capturing a decade of memories from the Honor of Kings universe. It’s more than a song — it’s a nostalgic tribute and a rallying cry for a new generation of gamers.
This latest collaboration between Tencent Music Entertainment and Honor of Kings reflects how music and gaming are colliding in bold new ways. TME notes this is just the beginning of deeper co-creations, as they continue to bridge music with globally loved cultural IPs.
