Tencent Games is the parent company of Morefun Studios, which is promoting Roco Kingdom in Japan ahead of a closed beta test that begins October 27. Tencent's Amir Satvat is a speaker at the invitation-only gamescom Leadership Summit on August 24, 2026, in Cologne.
Two stories put Tencent Games in the same frame: one as a parent company running a Japan-facing push for a subsidiary's game, one as a participant in an executive forum at gamescom. The first is concrete. Morefun Studios, described as a Tencent Games subsidiary, held an announcement and trial play event for the Japanese release of Roco Kingdom on September 21, 2026, at Bellesalle Shibuya First in Tokyo.
That event, reported by Morefun on September 25, put voice actors KENN and Aina Aiba on stage for live recording and demo play, introduced a world with more than 400 creature types called Jini, and named additional cast. It was aimed at Japanese media and came before the first closed beta test in Japan, which begins October 27. The event is the first Japan-facing promotion for the game, according to the coverage, and it places named voice talent in front of press before any public test.
The second story is a scheduling fact rather than a product one. Gamescom dev announced the program for its Leadership Summit, an invitation-only closed-door executive forum on August 24, 2026, in Cologne. Amir Satvat of Tencent Games is listed among the speakers. Luis Villegas of Sony Interactive Entertainment is also listed. The summit covers industry transformation, AI, and organizational strategy, with no press or recording.
Between the two, the settled items are the Roco Kingdom event details and the beta date, and Satvat's slot at the summit. No other Tencent Games plans, titles, or dates appear in either story.

Morefun Studios held a Japan announcement and hands-on event for Roco Kingdom on September 21, 2026, at Bellesalle Shibuya First in Tokyo. KENN and Aina Aiba, who voice characters in the game, took the stage. KENN plays the great mage Iris and Aiba plays Yessie. The two performed live voice recording of their characters' first appearance lines against game footage shown for the first time in Japan, then KENN played a demo in which the protagonist, wearing a unicorn costume, used a Prism Orb to befriend two Prism Unicorns, raise them, and take them for a stroll. Six additional cast members were announced at the event: Yusuke Kobayashi as Enzer, Aoi Koga as Clarissa, Akari Kito as Freya, Yoko Hikasa as Baishu, Maki Kawase as Louis, and Genki Okawa as Hoi Holl. Roco Kingdom is an open-world monster-collecting RPG set on the Carosia continent, with more than 400 types of creatures called Jini. Its first global closed beta test, the Quack Test, is scheduled to begin October 27, 2026, and test participants are being recruited. The service launch timing is undecided.
