Roco Kingdom Release Date: Global Launch Status

Quick answer: there is no global release date yet. Roco Kingdom launched in China on March 26, 2026, and the global version is in a closed test that began October 27, 2026. Tencent has confirmed the global build, the platforms and the test window, but not a launch day. Anything that names a specific global date right now is guessing.

The Confirmed Timeline

The Chinese launch is the only completed release. It came with the full live-service layer — seasons, shop, battle pass — and a client that is substantially ahead of the global test build. The global test is running a cut-down version without purchases.

Why the Global Date Is Still Unknown

Tencent has run the global rollout in stages: announcement, sign-up survey, invite waves, then a closed test. A launch date normally follows a test of this size by one to two quarters, but the company has not committed to a window. The official site shows a countdown to the test, not to launch, and the Steam page still lists the release as "coming soon".

Two things could move the date:

• Certification. The game ships on Xbox as well as PC and mobile, and console certification is the usual bottleneck.
• Localization. The test covers English and Japanese only. A wider launch needs more languages, and Tencent has not said which.

Official source: Roco Kingdom on Steam — the store page is the canonical place the release status changes first.

China Is Already Live

The mainland version launched on March 26, 2026, and has been running seasonal content since. By October it was in Season 4, with a season sprint event that started October 22. That matters for the global date in two ways: the content pipeline is proven, and the global build is roughly six months behind, which is a large gap to close before a simultaneous-content launch.

Chinese players have the full Jini roster, the shop and the PvP ladder. Global players in the test have the same world and battle system but a smaller slice of live content.

What "Coming Soon" Does and Does Not Mean

Steam uses "coming soon" for both a game launching in a week and one launching in a year, so the label carries no date information. The Xbox store listing is similar: it confirms the platform, not a window. The only date-like signals Tencent has published are the test dates, and those are explicitly temporary.

Regional Availability at Launch

The global test is limited to selected regions, and Tencent has not published the full launch region list. The store pages are visible in most major markets, which suggests a broad western rollout, but visibility is not availability. China remains on its own client and does not share servers or accounts with the global build.

If you are in a region without a store listing, the practical signal is whether the official site offers you a pre-registration option. That is usually enabled market by market before launch.

How to Be Ready

• Register on the official site with the email you intend to use at launch.
• Wishlist the game on Steam so the release notification reaches you.
• Link the same account across PC and mobile if cross-progression is offered, as it was during the test.
• Read the beta FAQ and platform breakdown so you know what the test did and did not prove.
