News about Roco Kingdom – begins new beta test with PC and mobile integration in China

Roco Kingdom: World, the official sequel to the classic Chinese online game, began its second beta test on March 27. Developed by Tencent Magic Cube Studio, the game supports Android, iOS, and PC, with cross-platform data integration.

Nicknamed the “Hold On A Second Test,” this experimental phase already includes about 90% of the planned content for the official launch, including new maps, creatures (called spirits), game modes, and technical optimizations. The tests also aim to gather community feedback for final adjustments.

 

Exploration, battles, and bonding with spirits

In the world of Roco Kingdom: World, players take on the role of young magic apprentices known as “little Rockers,” exploring the continent of Kalosia. This new test phase expands the number of available spirits from 227 to 351.

Each spirit has unique abilities and can be used in both PvE and PvP battles. In addition to the traditional competitive mode, the beta introduces the new Ranked Mode and the Casual Mode: Duel of Destiny.

Social life, activities, and customization

The game also encourages social interaction with features like fishing, cooking, item gathering, and the ability to befriend other players. Players can ride mythical creatures and even unlock actions like “holding hands” or “hugging” their spirit companions.

Another highlight is the matching outfits between character and spirit: when wearing special costumes, players trigger unique animations, including special battle entry and victory scenes.

Free progression and no gacha for creatures

Unlike many games in the genre, Roco Kingdom: World does not feature gacha mechanics for spirits. All companions are obtained for free throughout the adventure, reinforcing the team’s commitment that “the spirits are the true protagonists.”

Improvements and adjustments based on feedback

The studio implemented various improvements based on the first test phase feedback, including:

• Mobility optimization and removal of stamina consumption in safe zones
• More accessible social features and new interaction animations
• Reworked spirit growth system
• New option to skip main story cutscenes
• Improvements in boss fights and PvP mode

Additionally, the game now allows customization of interface background music with classic franchise tracks. A photo mode was also added to capture moments with friends and creatures.

How to join the test

The beta test is available for players with Android, iOS, or PC devices, but it’s currently limited to China. The client download is available directly from the official website. Players who register via WeGame or the website will receive exclusive rewards at the global launch.
