Beta Test II
Eager Endministrators are encouraged to sign up for Beta Test II now by visiting the official website and completing the recruitment survey to enter the selection process. If eligibility is granted, a notification will be sent to the email associated with the GRYPHLINE account used to register. To accompany the announcement, GRYPHLINE shared a brand new Beta Test II trailer revealing several new characters alongside a special developer livestream led by Game Producer Light Zhong and Level Designer RUA.
The livestream detailed many of the upcoming features and updates that will be present in Beta Test II, including a new storyline that has been practically rebuilt from the ground up, revamped combat, a never-before-seen region of the game, and much more. Some of the content coming to Beta Test II includes:
Rebuilt Story and 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 and 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 and 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 and 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 synchronized between PC and mobile devices using the same account. The beta will offer English, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Spanish, and Russian localization. A full list of recommended specifications for each platform can be found on the official website.
PlayStation 5 Technical Test
This is a limited-access, data-wipe test, meaning all data will be deleted and servers will shut down after the test ends. In-game purchases will not be available throughout the test. The test period will be announced at a later time. The test will offer English, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Spanish, and Russian localization. The PlayStation 5 Technical Test and Beta Test II are separate tests, and game data will not carry over between them.
About the Game
Set in the universe of the hit mobile game Arknights, Arknights: Endfield introduces a new immersive story and a frontier world filled with exploration, real-time combat, and base-building. Players will command teams of up to four operators, all of whom will be fighting along their side simultaneously, allowing for skill combos, elemental synergies, and other coordinated strategies. Following an initial PC technical test in 2024, the game held its first closed beta test in January 2025, offering players hands-on experience of the updated combat and AIC factory system, where players can build facilities and an automated production line.

Arknights: Endfield is due out for PlayStation 5, PC, iOS, and Android in early 2026.
