GRYPHLINE and Mountain Contour are now accepting registrations for the second beta test of Arknights: Endfield. This test starts November 28th on PC, iOS, and Android. A separate technical test for PlayStation 5 will also be held, with the dates announced soon. You can sign up through the official website.

Here are the latest details:

Beta Test II

We’re now accepting sign-ups for Beta Test II! Interested players can visit our website and fill out the short survey to be considered. If you’re selected, we’ll notify you via the email address connected to your GRYPHLINE account. To get you excited, we’ve released a new trailer for Beta Test II showcasing new characters, and we’ll also be hosting a livestream with Game Producer Light Zhong and Level Designer RUA.

The recent livestream showcased the exciting new features and improvements coming in Beta Test II. Players can look forward to a completely redesigned storyline, updated combat mechanics, a brand new area to explore, and a lot more. Here’s a look at some of what’s included:

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 second beta test for Arknights: Endfield will be temporary – all progress will be reset when the test ends. We’ll announce the end date later. You’ll be able to play on both PC and mobile using the same account, and your data will sync between devices. The beta will support English, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Spanish, and Russian languages. You can find the recommended system requirements for each platform on the official website.

PlayStation 5 Technical Test

This test is a limited-time event where all game data will be erased and the servers will go offline when it’s over. You won’t be able to make any purchases during the test. We’ll announce the test dates soon. The game will be available in English, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Spanish, and Russian. Please note that this PlayStation 5 Technical Test and the upcoming Beta Test II are separate, and your progress won’t transfer between them.

About the Game

Based in the world of the popular mobile game Arknights, Arknights: Endfield offers a brand-new story and a vast world to explore. Players will experience action-packed, real-time battles and can build and manage their own bases. You’ll lead a team of up to four Operators who fight alongside you at the same time, letting you create powerful skill combinations and take advantage of elemental strengths. After a technical test on PC in 2024, the game had its first closed beta in January 2025, giving players a chance to try out the improved combat system and the AIC factory system – a way to build facilities and automate production.

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