Arknights: Endfield PC Beta Test Live

Arknights: Endfield's initial major beta test launches today—exclusively on PC. Desktop players will gain early access to new content, characters, and gameplay mechanics. This PC-focused beta suggests developer Gryphline is prioritizing the platform, potentially signaling a shift in strategy for the franchise.

While disappointing for mobile fans accustomed to the original Arknights, the PC beta offers a valuable opportunity to gather feedback from a dedicated player base. Set within the established Arknights universe, Endfield promises a transition to the 3D RPG genre, reminiscent of titles like Genshin Impact.

This beta test will introduce players to new characters, dodge mechanics, combo systems, expanded maps, and challenging puzzle and dungeon content. Various other enhancements are also planned.

While the initial PC focus might seem surprising given the series' mobile origins, it's a trend mirroring other titles like NetEase's Once Human, indicating a broader industry movement towards a PC-first approach for some games. While a mobile release delay isn't anticipated to be as extensive as Once Human's, it's a factor to consider.
