History

Historical Context

Blizzard Entertainment launched World of Warcraft on November 23 2004, and its subscription model grew to a peak of 12 million active players by October 2010, proving the profitability of persistent, shared worlds. Inspired by that shift, Funktronic Labs redirected its 2024 development from battle-royale to the co-op MMORPG Scramble Knights Online, echoing the long-term engagement strategies pioneered by WoW.
