Tencent Games has officially announced that the highly anticipated exploration MMORPG Roco Kingdom will begin its first beta test on August 19, 2024, in China. Registrations for the beta are now open, and eager players can sign up to be among the first to experience this exciting new game.

A Multi-Media Phenomenon

Since its initial release as a browser game, Roco Kingdom has grown into a massive multi-media phenomenon. First announced in 2022 and developed by Tencent’s Morefun Studios, the game is an open-world RPG that skillfully blends the beloved creature-taming mechanics of classic Pokémon games with the expansive open-world exploration style of Genshin Impact.

Immersive Gameplay in a Magical World

Set in the enchanting universe of Roco Kingdom, this game invites players to dive into a magical world filled with diverse biomes, adorable creatures known as Rocos, and thrilling battles. While staying true to its roots, Roco Kingdom offers a modern 3D open-world experience that is sure to captivate both new and returning fans.

A Rich Legacy and Expanding Universe

The Roco Kingdom universe has amassed a large fan base over the years, with content spanning across various media. It has been 14 years since the browser game was first released in China, and since then, Roco Kingdom has evolved into a multi-media franchise that includes books, films, webtoons, and TV series, all centered around the Roco people and their mystical pets.

How to Join the Beta Test

China hosted an offline test earlier this year in January, and now the first beta is arriving. Players in China can visit the official website to register for the beta test, with sign-ups available through WeChat or QQ accounts. Currently, Roco Kingdom Mobile is planned to be available on both iOS and Android platforms, although an official release date has yet to be announced.
