An Upcoming Battle Royale RPG Is Free To Try Before Launch On Steam This Weekend
"Scramble Knights Royale was announced during the 2025 Day of the Devs: Game Awards Edition, showing off its player-versus-player gameplay and claymation-inspired art style. Where most battle royale games take the form of first-person shooters, Scramble Knight Royale instead takes after top-down RPGs like The Legend of Zelda, putting a new twist on a genre in need of some innovation."
"Developer Funktronic Labs plans to release Scramble Knights Royale later in 2026, but anyone interested can try the game early for free during a playtest running on Steam from January 9 to 11. The playtest is open only for players in North America for Funktronic's first server test, but the developer says a global playtest will also happen some time before launch."
Scramble Knights Royale blends top-down action-RPG mechanics with competitive battle-royale gameplay and a claymation-inspired art style. Matches begin with 32 players arriving by boat on an island filled with NPC enemies, environmental hazards, caves, and traps. Players start unarmed and must gather weapons, armor, and power from the environment before engaging human opponents. Funktronic Labs plans a 2026 release and is running a limited Steam playtest for North America from January 9–11 as an initial server test. A global playtest is planned before launch, and playtest participants will unlock in-game rewards at release.
