Publisher GRYPHLINE and developer Mountain Contour announced a schedule for Arknights: Endfield’s new beta tests.

The game is getting a Beta Test II for iOS, Android, and Windows PC on November 28th, while the PS5 Technical Test (with identical content) starts December 12th.

Here’s a rundown on the new details, plus a story trailer for operator Chen Qianyu:  

Beta Test II applicants can log in on the dedicated page to check their access status. Invites have also been emailed to selected players with download instructions. This closed beta includes a full progress reset at the end of the test (exact end date TBA).

Beta Test II delivers 50-60 hours worth of polished content from a work-in-progress build of the game. Informed by player feedback from the previous test, the development team has significantly overhauled Arknights: Endfield for Beta Test II, featuring a rebuilt storyline with new cutscenes and animations, revamped combat systems, a brand-new explorable region, and more. 

Beta Test II New Features 

• Rebuilt Story & New Region: A fully reworked storyline with new cutscenes and dialogue animations where player choices lead to unique outcomes. Endministrators can explore Wuling, a new region that blends Eastern aesthetics with futuristic elements, combining traditional with contemporary.
• New Characters & Updated Combat: Nine new operators, including three six-star characters: Ardelia, Last Rite, and Pogranichnik. Combat updates include combo skills, refined abilities, and updated boss encounters.
• Factory System & Other Features: Endministrators can build and expand their Automated Industry Complex (AIC), craft items, and use new features like photo mode, teammate guidance, and crate detection.
• Multi-Platform & Player Rewards: Enhanced controls and visuals across PC and mobile. Fans can pre-register to earn Basic HH Permits, the five-star operator Snowshine, and special rewards when the community reaches 5 million followers.

The Arknights: Endfield Beta Test II will be a limited wipe test, with all data cleared when the servers shut down at the end of the test period. An end date for Beta Test II will be announced at a later time. During the test, data can be synchronised between PC and mobile devices using the same account. The beta will support English, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Spanish, and Russian languages. A full list of recommended specifications for each platform can be found on the official website. 

Arknights: Endfield is in development for Windows PC, PlayStation 5, iOS, and Android, though a release date hasn’t been confirmed.
