Arknights: Endfield

Arknights: Endfield is a free-to-play 3D action RPG developed and published by Hypergryph, set in the same universe as the original Arknights tower defense game. The story takes place on the moon Talos-II and follows an entirely new frontier narrative, featuring a semi-open world with exploration, real-time combat, and deep base-building systems.\n\nCombat centers on a four-character team where players can switch between party members on the fly, combining basic attacks, tactical skills, combo skills, and ultimate abilities. Unlike the original Arknights, there are no tower defense mechanics — the focus is on fluid real-time action with strategic team coordination.\n\nA signature feature is the factory simulation system, where players harvest resources from remote mining nodes, route them via conveyor belts and ziplines, and manage power budgets across a growing industrial base. Progression in exploration and combat feeds directly into factory upgrades and vice versa.\n\nThe game uses a gacha banner system with 5-star and 6-star characters. It launched globally on January 22, 2026 across PC, PlayStation 5, Android, and iOS, with cross-platform availability at launch.
