《Scramble Knights Online》10月26日开启抢先体验：售价12.99美元，首发加入Xbox Game Pass
由 Funktronic Labs 开发的 MMO-lite 动作角色扮演游戏《Scramble Knights Online》10月26日以抢先体验形式登陆 Xbox Series X|S 与 PC（Steam 及 Microsoft Store），在 Xbox 平台以 Game Preview 形式发售，售价12.99美元，并于首发当日加入 Xbox Game Pass，支持 Xbox Play Anywhere 与全平台跨平台联机。
玩家在共享在线王国 Terracott 中扮演见习骑士，与好友组队完成一段段短小的任务。微软 Xbox Wire 在10月23日的发售周预告中形容其任务设计灵感来自《塞尔达传说》：玩家穿行于由岛屿组成的群岛，沿途有小镇、敌人与布满谜题的地牢。据 Steam 商店页面介绍，玩家组队挑战地牢、击败怪物、收集稀有战利品，再返回城镇锻造更强的装备，为下一次任务做准备；小队人数最多4人。
抢先体验首发版本开放完整的「1星」区域，内容量约5小时，并包含早期版本的阵营 PvP。开发方表示，抢先体验预计至少持续一年，正式版将扩展到至少「4星」区域与任务，完整内容量约40小时，首个大型更新计划在今年冬季推出。开发方称目前没有游戏内购计划，游戏价格将随内容增加而上调。
Funktronic Labs 成立于2013年，《Scramble Knights Online》是该工作室首款这一规模的在线多人游戏。Xbox Wire 的10月26日至30日发售周名单共有约50款游戏，本作与10月27日的《The Séance of Blake Manor》、10月29日的《Mouthwashing》等同列 Game Pass 首发阵容。
Scramble Knights Online Launches in Early Access on October 26 at $12.99, Day One on Xbox Game Pass
Scramble Knights Online, an MMO-lite action RPG developed by Funktronic Labs, launched in Early Access on October 26 for Xbox Series X|S and PC via Steam and the Microsoft Store, appearing on Xbox as a Game Preview title. It is priced at $12.99 and joined Xbox Game Pass on day one, with Xbox Play Anywhere support and cross-play across all versions.
Players take on the role of knights-in-training in the shared online kingdom of Terracott, teaming up with friends for bite-sized quests. In its October 23 weekly roundup, Xbox Wire described the quests as Zelda-inspired, sending players across an archipelago of islands filled with towns, enemies and puzzle-filled dungeons. According to the game's Steam page, squads of up to four players conquer dungeons, slay monsters and collect rare loot, then return home to forge more powerful gear before the next quest.
The Early Access launch build includes the full 1-Star area, roughly five hours of content, along with an early version of faction PvP. The studio says the game is expected to remain in Early Access for at least one year, with the version 1.0 release expanding to at least 4-Star tiers of quests and areas for around 40 hours of content, and a first major update planned for this winter. The studio says there are currently no plans for in-game purchases, and that the price will rise as new content is added.
Founded in 2013, Funktronic Labs is releasing its first online multiplayer title at this scale. Xbox Wire's release week of October 26 to 30 lists about 50 games; Scramble Knights Online appears in the Game Pass day-one lineup alongside The Séance of Blake Manor on October 27 and Mouthwashing on October 29.
