Arknights: Endfield now has an official launch window: early 2026. The standalone 3D entry in Hypergryph’s universe is slated for PC, PlayStation 5, Android, and iOS. There’s still no exact date, and regional rollout details haven’t been announced.

Endfield had been widely anticipated for 2025, but the launch window shifted into 2026. The exact rollout plan is still to come.

Recent milestones and what they signal

The game’s public beats over the last year point to steady progress on both development and marketing:

Milestone What happened Why it matters
Apple event showcase (Sep 2025) First mobile gameplay footage featured during the iPhone 17 Pro segment, paired with an “early 2026” release window. Confirms the window and highlights mobile performance alongside the PC build shown previously.
Major convention presence (2025) Show floor features at Japan Expo, Anime Expo, and Gamescom; a Tokyo Game Show appearance was also slated. Signals an active prelaunch campaign after earlier quiet periods.
Testing cadence (2024–2025) Technical testing occurred in 2024; a closed beta ran earlier in 2025. Indicates ongoing iteration on systems like real-time combat and base operations.
Developer livestream (Oct 31, 2025) “Beta Test II” special program scheduled for 4:30pm PDT (UTC‑7). Suggests fresh gameplay details and next-stage testing info are imminent.

Note: Large-scale mobile and cross-platform launches in this genre often introduce pre-registration campaigns ahead of release. No such campaign has been announced yet, which means the studio still has flexibility inside the early 2026 window.

What kind of game Endfield is

Endfield shifts Arknights into a fully 3D format with exploration, real-time combat, and a focus on base-building. It remains a gacha-driven, open-world experience set in the same universe as the original tower defense hit, but its design emphasizes on-the-ground action and resource operations rather than lane-based defense. Public tests to date have showcased updated combat systems and broader facility management compared to early previews.

What to watch for next

  • A firm date inside the early 2026 window.
  • Details on pre-registration timing and any platform-specific launch bonuses.
  • Announcements for the next testing phase following the “Beta Test II” program.
  • Final platform feature breakdowns (graphics modes on console/PC, control schemes on mobile, and cross-progression specifics, if any).

Once a date is locked, expect a lead-up period with promotional events, updated gameplay showcases, and a clearer roadmap for content at launch. For now, early 2026 and the confirmed platforms are the headline commitments.
