The Universal Beijing Resort launched a new parade on Friday, inviting characters of the popular Chinese-made mobile game Honor of Kings.

Eleven game characters performed on four floats, stirring the fervor of tourists with traditional Chinese cultural elements.

The theme park will seek more fashionable entertainment elements close to local young people, said the Vice President and Executive Producer, Entertainment, Universal Beijing Resort, Jason Ramsburg.

Art and Entertainment Director, Universal Beijing Resort, Wang Yikai said that the parades in theme parks usually showcase the characters and scenes, but their new parade of Honor of Kings focuses on storytelling to "present a moving stage play to tourists."

The newly launched parade will run from April 8 to July 3.
