Today, publisher GRYPHLINE detailed the latest round of beta testing for their up-and-coming action role-playing game with strategy elements title ‘Arknights: Endfield’. “Beta Test II” is now accepting sign ups for PC, iOS, and Android devices and the test will begin on 28 November—an End Date will be decided at a later time. A GRYPHLINE account is required to sign up. There are also other ways to score a beta test invite—either through GRYPHLINE’s new community portal SKPort and/or through Yvonne’s totally-not gachapon “All Charged Up!” web event.
The game’s development team has made a number of changes and brought about huge enhancements to Endfield since the first beta back in the early days of 2025. Players can look forward to refactored story events, changes to gameplay mechanics and logic, and new Operators. In addition, the Automated Industry Complex system sees a new Blueprint system, which allows players to build, save, and share their factory systems with other players among other enhancements that better allow you to manage your resource farming.
You can watch the full developer livestream below for all the details on changes made to combat, exploration, client stability, headhunting, and whathaveyou. ‘Arknights: Endfield’ will be launching sometime in early 2026 across PC, mobile devices, and PlayStation 5 consoles.
The livestream detailed many of the upcoming features and updates that will be present in Beta Test II, including a new storyline that has been practically rebuilt from the ground up, revamped combat, a never-before-seen region of the game, and much more. Some of the content coming to Beta Test II includes:
Rebuilt Story & New Region: A fully reworked storyline with new cutscenes and dialogue animations where player choices lead to unique outcomes. Endministrators can explore Wuling, a new region that blends Eastern aesthetics with futuristic elements, combining traditional with contemporary.
New Characters & Updated Combat: Nine new operators, including three six-star characters: Ardelia, Last Rite, and Pogranichnik. Combat updates include combo skills, refined abilities, and updated boss encounters.
Factory System & Other Features: Endministrators can build and expand their Automated Industry Complex (AIC), craft items, and use new features like photo mode, teammate guidance, and crate detection.
Multi-Platform & Player Rewards: Enhanced controls and visuals across PC and mobile. Fans can pre-register to earn Basic HH Permits, the five-star operator Snowshine, and special rewards when the community reaches 5 million followers.
The Arknights: Endfield Beta Test II will be a limited wipe test, with all data cleared when the servers shut down at the end of the test period. An end date for Beta Test II will be announced at a later time. During the test, data can be synchronized between PC and mobile devices using the same account. The beta will offer English, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Spanish, and Russian localization. A full list of recommended specifications for each platform can be found on the official website.
Set in the universe of the hit mobile game Arknights, Arknights: Endfield introduces a new immersive story and a frontier world filled with exploration, real-time combat, and base-building. Players will command teams of up to four operators, all of whom will be fighting along their side simultaneously, allowing for skill combos, elemental synergies, and other coordinated strategies. Following an initial PC technical test in 2024, the game held its first closed beta test in January 2025, offering players hands-on experience of the updated combat and AIC factory system, where players can build facilities and an automated production line. Throughout the year, GRYPHLINE showcased the game at many of the industry’s most notable gaming events, including Anime Expo, Japan Expo, and Gamescom. It was also featured in the Apple Event on September 9, marking the first time gameplay footage had been shown for the mobile version.
