Arknights: Endfield - The Upcoming Mobile RPG That's About to Revolutionize the Genre

While the number of high-quality mobile RPGs is growing exponentially each year, Arknights: Endfield offers something unique that even the most seasoned players of the genre haven't seen before. The game builds upon everything that's come before, pulls players in, and threatens to never let them go.

What Makes Arknights Special?

Arknights is a special mobile game that drew in millions of players and created a fan base who love gacha games and want those mechanics in their mobile tower defense titles. This unique blend makes the game stand out, and Arknights: Endfield, the second entry in the series, is no different.

When is the Release Date for Arknights: Endfield?

At the time of writing, the release date for Arknights: Endfield is expected to be late 2024. There are still technical tests ongoing for the game's servers and stability, and developer Hypergryph hasn't outlined any sort of timeline for when players can expect the full release just yet.

A late 2024 release window indicates either a holiday release or a launch around October. If we had to guess, we'd suggest October because that gives players plenty of time to get stuck in before a holiday event drops.

Is Arknights: Endfield a Sequel to Arknights?

No, Arknights: Endfield is a spin-off to Arknights, not a sequel. The game is set in the same universe as the original and has very similar gameplay, but it's meant to be a separate story. Fans looking for a sequel will need to wait a little longer.

Will There Be a Beta for Arknights: Endfield?

Yes, there's a beta/technical test ongoing for the PC version of Arknights: Endfield at the time of writing. To join, players must visit the game's official website and sign up for a chance to take part.

Note that all technical tests so far have been for the PC version of the game. It's unlikely there will be other tests because they're easier to run on this platform. However, each one brings the game closer to release and will ensure every version is as stable as possible.
