Arknights: Endfield's initial major beta test launches today, exclusively on PC. This early access grants desktop players the opportunity to explore new content, characters, and gameplay mechanics.
This PC-focused beta test is a significant move by developer Gryphline, potentially signaling a shift in focus for the franchise. While initially disappointing for mobile fans, this early PC release allows dedicated players to provide valuable feedback. Arknights: Endfield, set within the universe of the original Arknights, promises a transition to the 3D RPG genre, reminiscent of titles like Genshin Impact.
The beta will introduce new characters, innovative dodge mechanics, combo systems, and expanded maps, puzzles, and dungeon content. Various other enhancements are also anticipated.
While the PC-first approach might seem surprising given the series' mobile origins, it reflects a growing trend among developers to broaden their reach to the PC market. While a mobile release is expected, the timing remains uncertain, unlike the prolonged mobile delay experienced by NetEase's Once Human.
