Roco Kingdom Global Release Date: Platforms, Beta End and What Comes Next

Roco Kingdom, one of the biggest mobile hits in China this year, is getting ready for its global launch, and the first worldwide test is about to wrap up. The “Quack Quack Test” closed beta ends on November 16, 2026, and many players are now asking the same thing: when can everyone play? This guide brings together everything confirmed about the global release, the platforms, what happens to your beta progress and how to be ready when the doors open.

What is Roco Kingdom?

Roco Kingdom is a free-to-play open-world creature-collecting RPG developed by Morefun Studios, a Tencent studio. You explore the colorful continent of Carosia and catch, train and battle magical creatures called Jinies. At launch there will be around 400 Jinies to collect, and the main story is expected to last about 10 to 20 hours.

The game is often compared to Pokémon and Palworld, but it has its own personality. Battles are turn-based with type matchups and strategic PvP, and there is a strong social side: you can decorate your home, farm, visit friends and explore the world together. The multiplayer is not a crowded MMO either. The number of players you see changes depending on the area.

Roco Kingdom global release date

Morefun Studios has not announced a global release date yet. The official line is that the game is coming worldwide “at a later date”, and both the Steam and Epic Games Store pages still say “Coming soon”. Some outlets expect the full launch in 2027, but there is no official confirmation.

What we do know is the order of events so far:

A closed beta ending is usually followed by a period of fixes based on player feedback. Keep an eye on the official channels in the coming weeks for news about the next test or the launch date.

Platforms and cross-play

The global version is coming to more platforms than the Chinese release. You will be able to play on Windows PC through Steam, the Epic Games Store and the Microsoft Store, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, and on iPhone and Android. This is the first time the series arrives on consoles. A Nintendo Switch 2 version has not been announced.

Cross-platform play is part of the plan. The Steam page lists online co-op and online PvP, and during the closed beta PC and mobile players shared the same progress. That means you can start on your phone and continue on your PC.

The Quack Quack Test: what happened and when it ends

The closed beta, nicknamed the Quack Quack Test after the duck-like mascot Duckiji, opened on October 27, 2026 for invited players. Sign-ups closed on October 20, so you can no longer join this test. It ran on PC (Steam and the official launcher), Android through Google Play and iOS through TestFlight, with English and Japanese languages.

Here is what you need to know about the end of the test:

• End time: November 16, 2026, at 02:30 UTC. All in-game events end at the same time.
• Progress is not kept: it is a data-wipe test. Characters, Jinies and progress are deleted within 30 days after the test.
• No spending: the beta had no in-game purchases, and the season pass was free for every tester.

The developers have been sharing a “ROCO 101” starter series on YouTube during the test, which is a great way to learn the basics even if you did not get an invite.

Why the global launch is a big deal

Roco Kingdom is not a new name. The series started as a browser game in China in 2010 and passed 200 million registered players. The current game was a massive success at home: it welcomed 15 million players within 13 hours of launch and kept an average of 13 million daily players in its first month. It also ranked first among new mobile games in China this year in both daily users and revenue. Few creature collectors have ever arrived in the West with that kind of track record.

How to get ready for launch

• Pre-register on the official Roco Kingdom website to get launch news.
• Wishlist the game on Steam or Epic if you plan to play on PC, so you get a notification when it releases.
• Follow the official social accounts, where the beta end notice and the next announcements are posted first.
• Free up space on your phone. A full open-world game with hundreds of creatures will need room.
