Roco Kingdom is preparing for its first global closed beta test, the Quack Test, scheduled to begin October 27, 2026. The game's service launch timing is undecided.
Roco Kingdom is an open-world monster-collecting RPG from Morefun Studios, a Tencent Games subsidiary. The series began as a browser game in China in 2010 and has recorded over 350 million cumulative registered players, with more than 15 million on its March 26, 2026 mainland China launch day. Players take on the role of a Roco, a magician, and travel the continent of Carosia (also called Calosia) with creatures called Jini, of which more than 400 species appear. The game is free-to-play and supports cross-platform multiplayer.
The global expansion was announced on August 26, 2026 during gamescom's Opening Night Live, with platforms set as Windows PC via Steam and Epic Games, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, iOS, and Android. A developer talk video on September 7 introduced the world view, the Jini, and multiplayer systems, with narrative director and localization lead Xiao Ye presenting and Japanese subtitles included. A special trial event for Japanese media and players was held on September 21 at Bellesalle Shibuya First in Tokyo.
At that event, voice actors KENN (who plays Iris) and Aina Aiba (who plays Yessie) performed live voice recording against game footage shown for the first time in Japan. Six more cast members were announced: Yusuke Kobayashi as Enzer, Akari Kito as Freya, Aoi Koga as Clarissa, Yoko Hikasa as Shiraki (Baishu in one report), Maki Kawase as Luis (Louis in one report), and Genki Okawa as Hoi Holl. Narrative Director Ono stated the game emphasizes a battle experience where victory is not decided by spending money, and that encounters come from exploration and discovery rather than gacha. The game has no gacha system for collecting Jini, and PvP battles emphasize type matchups and team composition.
The first global closed beta test, the Quack Test, is scheduled to begin October 27, 2026, with participants being recruited. The service launch timing is undecided.
