XI'AN, China, May 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Tencent's cross-border payment platform TenPay Global signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Eldik Bank of the Kyrgyz Republic at the 10th Silk Road International Expo held in Xi'an. This marks another significant progress after its recent partnership with Uzbekistan's HUMO Pay, to further integrate Central Asia's payment networks into the Weixin Pay merchant network through China's Cross-Border Interconnection Payment Gateway (CPG), a unified cross-border QR code payment gateway under China's central bank.
With the implementation of these partnerships, travelers and business professionals visiting China from Central Asian countries like Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan will not need to download new apps. Instead, they can complete transactions simply by opening their domestic digital wallets and scanning Weixin Pay QR codes.
"Through the TenPay Global platform, overseas wallets can access Weixin Pay's vast merchant network via a one-time API integration, offering low integration costs and fast time-to-market," said Royal Chen, Vice President of Tencent Financial Technology. "Meanwhile, we have customized localized adaptations for each overseas wallet. The overseas wallets can now display real-time exchange rates and the deduction amount in their local currency, achieving a 'what you see is what you pay' experience for users."
Under the guidance of the Payment and Clearing Association of China, Tencent has further upgraded Weixin Pay's "Pay with Your Home E-Wallet" services through CPG, partnering with over 40 overseas wallet institutions worldwide. Currently, 36 e-wallets from 13 different countries and regions have gone live, including Singapore's LiquidPay, Vietnam's Zalopay and MOMO, Laos' BCEL, and Mongolia's Hipay. Among them, nearly ten overseas wallets, including Tencent's WeChat Pay HK, Vietnam's MOMO, and Laos's BCEL, have connected to the gateway through TenPay Global in merely 6 months since the launch of the CPG in September 2025.
TenPay Global also announced its partnership with tax refund institutions to facilitate and launch tax-free shopping services for departing tourists in key inbound provinces and cities, including Shaanxi Province. Foreign visitors can choose to receive their tax refunds directly into their Weixin Pay balance or overseas e-wallets, with funds arriving within minutes. From the first scan via their home wallets upon entry, to the final refund back to their wallets upon departure, international travellers can enjoy a seamless and "borderless" payment experience throughout their journey in China.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, May 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Gravity Game Unite (GGU), the Malaysia subsidiary of global game company Gravity, has officially launched the Open Beta Test (OBT) for its PC MMORPG Ragnarok Zero: Global, revealing key game features and event benefits to help players enjoy the game to the fullest.
Ragnarok Zero: Global preserves the classic charm of Ragnarok Online by recreating its world view, 2D pixel art graphics, BGM, and core content, while also introducing new stories that expand the world of Midgard.
A Modern Interpretation of Classic RO Charm with a Fresh Twist
Ragnarok Zero: Global delivers a polished first impression by modernizing the iconic visual assets of the Ragnarok IP, including its icons, launcher, and dedicated skins.
The game also offers intuitive UI that allows players to easily understand key features without additional learning, support for seven languages, and convenient features such as auto-hunt.
During this OBT, players can choose from various job classes based on the six original Ragnarok Online class lines: Swordsman, Mage, Merchant, Acolyte, Thief, and Archer, and play up to Level 50.
The game has been designed to provide a different kind of fun from the original by adjusting character progression and the overall gameplay flow. Players can hunt monsters more conveniently using the auto-hunt feature, while simplified travel routes help reduce fatigue when moving between regions. In addition, the expanded camera view enhances immersion by offering a wider and more open field of vision.
Special OBT Benefits Including Limited Titles and Exclusive Costume Items
Players can enjoy the OBT even more through various commemorative events prepared by Gravity Game Unite.
First, players who check in through the OBT page can receive 20,000 Free Kafra Points once per day. Special rewards will also be provided after the official launch based on the level achieved during the OBT period. In addition, Other events include the Bug Reporting Event and Player Survey Event, where players can share their feedback directly with the development team. Adventurers who participate in the event will also receive additional in-game rewards upon official launch.
Players who complete events through NPCs located in major cities can obtain the Top Adventurer Reward Box and the limited title "Pioneer." The GM Boss Summon Event also allows players to experience the fun of cooperative battles.

Other events include a Bug Report Event, while users who purchase a subscription plan of six months or longer during the OBT period will receive an exclusive limited-edition costume item.
