Around a month later, on May 17, 2023, a global version of Kemono Friends Kingdom was announced and slated for release within a few months. This incarnation was published and co-developed by studios Neocraft Limited and Topjoy; the involvement of ZLONGAME would seem to have ceased. Select regions would gain access to a series of three closed beta tests through Google Play; these ran from May 18 to May 31, June 9 to June 21, and June 28 to July 3 respectively. On July 3, the region-locked closed beta servers would shut down and the global open beta would release on July 13, 2023 for Android and iOS, available in seven languages: Chinese, Dutch, English, French, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish. | Around a month later, on May 17, 2023, a global version of Kemono Friends Kingdom was announced and slated for release within a few months.

The story opens with a human girl named [[Jinri]] waking up to find herself submerged in the depths of [[Silent River|a river]], surrounded by sunken ruins and near to drowning. Confused and fading fast, she snaps to attention at the sound of two voices beyond the water's surface; rallying her resolve, she is able to grab the attention of the strangers. One dives into the river and takes Jinri's outstretched hand in hers, pulling the girl out of the water and onto the shore just as she blacks out. Jinri soon wakes up, exhausted but alive—much to the relief of her saviors, who fret over the girl's condition and deluge her with questions, incidentally introducing one another in the process; the girl who first noticed Jinri's plight is the sharp but meek [[Chevrotain/Kingdom|Chevrotain]], and the the bold, white-clad girl who pulled her from the depths is called [[Least Weasel/Kingdom|Least Weasel]]. Jinri notices the girls' fluffy ears and tails, but finds herself too weary and grateful to comment on their curious fashion sense. Little does she know that her rescuers were no mere humans in costume; they were beings known as [[Friends]], and Jinri had unknowingly already taken her first step in a long journey on which she would meet Friends of all kinds, pursue her own lost memories, battle [[Cellien|frightening monsters]], and uncover the secrets of the ancient and mysterious land she'd found herself in. | The story opens with a human girl named [[Jinri]] waking up to find herself submerged in the depths of [[Silent River|a river]], surrounded by sunken ruins and near to drowning.

Kemono Friends Kingdom is an action | Kemono Friends Kingdom is an action-strategy RPG, with some puzzle elements, designed for mobile devices. In Kemono Friends Kingdom, the player sends Friends riding atop a vehicle called a Patrol Plane into a 2-D battlefield, where they position themselves to fight enemy Celliens using various special abilities. Enemies can be damaged by direct hits from the Patrol Plane, and Friends will follow up with basic attacks on each passing turn. The turn order is determined by a Speed stat innate to all Friends and Celliens; typically, Celliens have a Speed stat of 0 and will thus strike last, making the Speed tier hierarchy more relevant to strategies revolving around the order in which Friends should be deployed and when their abilities, called Miracles, should be activated. | ||

==== Radiance ==== | |||
Kemono Friends Kingdom uses a triangle advantage combat system, akin to rock-paper-scissors, wherein all Friends and Celliens possess one of three Radiance types. Friends will deal more damage to enemies of a Radiance they have an advantage over and less damage to enemies who have a Radiant advantage over themselves; in turn, Friends are resistant to damage dealt by enemies of a Radiance that is weak to the target Friends' Radiance, but they do not deal bonus damage to such Friends when the Cellien has the advantage. | |||
