A Deeper Look at Beta Test II
During the first official developer livestream, Game Producer Light Zhong and Level Designer RUA offered a closer look at the new content and major gameplay enhancements arriving in Arknights: Endfield Beta Test II. This upcoming version represents a major leap forward, featuring rebuilt story elements, expanded exploration, and refined combat mechanics.
Highlights from the livestream include:
- Rebuilt Storyline & New Region: A completely overhauled main story with animated cutscenes, new branching dialogue choices, and the addition of Wuling, a vibrant new region that fuses Eastern architecture with futuristic aesthetics.
- New Operators & Combat Updates: Nine new playable Operators will join the roster, including three six-star characters: Ardelia, Last Rite, and Pogranichnik. Combat introduces combo mechanics, new boss encounters, and refined skill systems.
- Expanded Factory System: Players can grow their Automated Industry Complex (AIC), craft new materials, and utilize updated features such as photo mode, teammate guidance, and crate detection for resource management.
Cross-Platform Play and Community Rewards
Arknights: Endfield Beta Test II supports full data synchronization between PC and mobile, with improved visuals and controls across platforms. Players who pre-register can earn rewards, including Basic HH Permits, the five-star Operator Snowshine, and more when community milestones are reached.
The beta will feature localization in English, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Spanish, and Russian, and all player data will be wiped after the test concludes.
The Next Step in the Arknights Universe
Set within the same world as Arknights, Endfield expands the franchise into an open 3D frontier filled with exploration, real-time combat, and base-building. Players command squads of up to four Operators in simultaneous combat, combining skills and elemental powers to overcome challenges.
Following successful technical tests and a strong presence at events such as Anime Expo, Japan Expo, and Gamescom, Arknights: Endfield is now on track for a global launch in early 2026 for PS5, PC, and mobile devices.
