Arknights: Endfield is a 3D strategic role-playing game developed by Hypergryph and published globally by Gryphline. Set to launch on January 22, 2026, it represents a significant departure from the original tower defense title, evolving into a semi-open world action RPG with a deep focus on industrial management. The game is available on Windows PC, PlayStation 5, and mobile platforms including Android and iOS.

The story is set on Talos-II, a moon colonized 152 years ago by pioneers from the planet Terra. These settlers arrived through a dimensional portal known as the Aethergate, but they were left stranded after the gate was destroyed a century ago. Players take on the role of the Endministrator, a legendary leader of Endfield Industries who awakens after ten years of hibernation to lead the Protocol Recycling Department. Talos-II is a harsh environment plagued by Corruption, supernatural disasters, and dangerous creatures known as Aggeloi. As the Endministrator, you must explore these untamed lands and expand the Civilization Band, which is the current foothold of humanity on the moon.

Gameplay is divided between real-time action combat and complex factory building. Players control a team of four characters simultaneously, switching between them to unleash combo skills and ultimate abilities. A core feature of the combat is the imbalance mechanic, where heavy hits fill an enemy gauge to trigger powerful execution moves. All four characters engage in battle at once, sharing a skill gauge system that recharges over time.

The industrial side of the game features the Automated Industry Complex, or AIC. This system allows players to design intricate production networks by extracting resources, building power grids, and using conveyor belts and pipes to automate the crafting of materials. The developers have aimed for a balanced experience where factory management is just as vital as character progression and combat, with the base builder supplying essential progression items.

Technical performance is a major priority for this release. The game supports native 120 FPS, realistic environmental effects like snow-stepping, and NVIDIA DLSS technology. PC players will require roughly 50GB of storage space, while mobile users should expect a download size of about 25GB. For console and PC players, the title includes full support for both PlayStation and Xbox controllers with haptic feedback. Cross-platform saves are supported, allowing players to sync their progress across all available devices using the same account.

The global launch follows a highly successful pre-registration period that saw over 35 million sign-ups. To celebrate, Gryphline is offering extensive rewards, including the five-star operator Snowshine and the six-star operator Ardelia, along with her signature weapon, Dreams of Starry Beach. Players can also earn premium currency called Oroberyl and various Headhunting permits through level-up milestones and sign-in events. Special redemption codes like RETURNOFALL and ALLFIELD provide additional resources for early players. Whether engaging in fast-paced battles or optimizing a sprawling automated base, Arknights: Endfield offers a distinct experience within the franchise that focuses on operational depth and strategic exploration.
