      MMORPG Game Testing

      Overview

      About the client

      The client is a top-tier global game development studio under one of Asia’s largest technology conglomerates. The project involved an ambitious AAA Open-World Survival (SOC) title built on Unreal Engine 4, designed for a simultaneous global launch across PC, iOS, and Android.

      Game Intro

      AAA open-world survival RPG (often categorized as SOC-Survival, Open World, Crafting). Launched globally in June 2023, it was designed as a cross-platform experience for PC, iOS, and Android, pushing the boundaries of what mobile hardware could handle using Unreal Engine 4.

      Challenges

      The transition from a regional development build to a global release presented four critical operational bottlenecks:

      Proprietary Tooling & Language Barriers

      Internal development tools were entirely in the developer’s native language, hindering environment setup and test data management.

      Extreme Hardware Fragmentation

      The game required seamless performance across a massive spectrum of hardware-from high-end PCs to budget smartphones-while ensuring 100% data synchronization.

      Linguistic & UI Complexity (LQA)

      Launching in multiple languages (EFIGS, CJK, etc.) created massive risks for UI clipping, contextual mistranslation, and cultural insensitivity within the sprawling game narrative.

      Massive Content Scope vs. Market Timing

      With a huge open world and a strict global launch window, the functional and linguistic test surface was enormous.

      Our Solution

      We implemented an Integrated Functional & Localization QA Strategy

      • Context-Aware LQA Audits
      • UI/UX Overflow Testing
      • Risk-Based Testing (RBT)
      • Risk-Based Testing (RBT)
      • Cross-Platform Performance Matrix
