Morefun Studios is running signups for the global closed beta test of Roco Kingdom, its open-world monster-collecting RPG, with the test set to begin October 27, 2026. The service launch timing is undecided.
Morefun Studios is a Tencent Games subsidiary working on Roco Kingdom, an open-world monster-collecting RPG set on the Carosia continent with more than 400 types of creatures called Jini. The global expansion was announced on August 26, 2026, during gamescom's Opening Night Live. The game is planned as free-to-play for Windows PC, PlayStation, Xbox, iOS, and Android, with the official launch date to be announced later.
The first global closed beta test, the Quack Test, is scheduled to begin on October 27, 2026, and participants are being recruited. In the weeks before it, Morefun released a developer talk video on September 7 featuring narrative director and localization lead Xiao Ye, who covered the game's history, story, the Jini, and multiplayer. A Japan announcement and hands-on event followed on September 21 at Bellesalle Shibuya First in Tokyo, where KENN and Aina Aiba performed live voice recording for their characters Iris and Yessie and six more cast members were announced. Narrative lead Ono stated at that event that 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.
On October 15, Morefun released a new trailer showing multiple biomes, including arid land and snowy plains, and Jini that resist capture by bouncing thrown orbs back. The trailer arrived as closed beta signups opened. The stories differ on the platform list and on the creature naming, which appears as Jini in some accounts and Genies in another.
