Roco Kingdom

Morefun Studios, a Tencent Games subsidiary, announced the global expansion of Roco Kingdom on August 26, 2026, during gamescom's Opening Night Live. The open-world monster-collecting RPG is planned as free-to-play for Windows PC, PlayStation, Xbox, iOS, and Android, and its first global closed beta test is scheduled to begin October 27. The game began as a browser game in China in 2010 and has recorded over 350 million cumulative registered players over 16 years. Players take on the role of a Roco and explore a continent (called Calosia in the announcement story, Carosia in later event coverage) that is home to over 400 species of creatures called Jini, which vary in height, build, and weight even within the same species.

Morefun followed the announcement with a developer talk video on September 7 introducing the world view and systems. Narrative director and localization lead Xiao Ye covered the game's history, story, the over 400 creature types, and multiplayer, with Japanese subtitles included. A closed beta was already listed for October 27. A Japan announcement and hands-on event then followed on September 21 at Bellesalle Shibuya First in Tokyo, where KENN and Aina Aiba performed live voice recording against game footage and six more cast members were announced. Narrative lead Ono said the game has over 350 million cumulative registered users, with more than 15 million on its March 26, 2026 launch day in mainland China.

Across the event coverage, Morefun has stressed a no-gacha approach. Creatures are collected through exploration and discovery, not gacha, and the stated aim is a battle experience where victory is not decided by spending money. The October 15 trailer put the capture mechanic on display, showing multiple biomes and Jini that resist capture by bouncing thrown orbs back. Closed beta signups are open, and the test period is set to begin October 27. The service launch timing remains undecided.
