Let’s Catch’Em Together! Closed Beta Launched for Open-World Creature-Collector Roco Kingdom
Morefun Studios - subsidiary of Tencent Games - is bursting with excitement today as it celebrates the launch of the Quack Quack closed beta test for Roco Kingdom, the free-to-play multiplayer open-world creature-collector and newest entry in the massively popular Chinese franchise from Tencent. Starting today, players approved for the playtest will set out alone or team up with friends as they journey into the magical continent of Carosia to meet and bond with hundreds of cuddly creatures known as Jinies. The Roco Kingdom playtest is available on PC and mobile devices, while the full game will also be released on consoles.
The Roco Kingdom playtest is packed with content! Players are able to enjoy a segment of the main storyline that introduces them to the vibrant open-world of Carosia. They’ll be able to party up seamlessly with friends to play the playtest’s available modes and encounter 210+ Jinies to discover and collect, including two powerful Legendary Jinies, and 16 special “Chromatic” variants.
Jinies are wonderful and magical creatures, brimming with potential. They vary in Talent, Personality, Height, Weight, Color, and Specialty. An individual Jini's personality affects its stats and how it behaves, while a Specialty is a unique skill that varies from one Jini to another; Bloodline lineage also determines which skills they can learn. With their captured Jinies, players can try their hand in multiple unique PvE modes - Alpha Battles, Blossom Battles, and so on - and PvP with other “Roco” players. Fun and engaging social and co-op experiences are another core feature of the game. Players can hold hands, ride together on Jinies in the wild, visit each other's homesteads, and embark on adventures together.
As a free-to-play title, Roco Kingdom will offer a fair and accessible experience for all players at launch, with no pay-to-win mechanics, no Jinies locked behind paywalls, and all story content freely unlockable.
