Arknights: Endfield Surpasses 35 Million Registrations Ahead of Launch
Global publisher GRYPHLINE has confirmed that Arknights: Endfield has officially surpassed 35 million pre-registrations worldwide, cementing its position as one of the most anticipated free-to-play RPG launches of 2026.
The milestone was announced during the game’s latest developer livestream, with GRYPHLINE confirming that all community rewards and special launch gifts tied to the registration campaign will be available to players starting on day one.
Arknights: Endfield is scheduled to launch on January 22 across PlayStation 5, PC, as well as iOS and Android devices.
Two New Trailers Showcase Talos-II and Endfield’s Scale
To mark the registration milestone, GRYPHLINE premiered two new trailers offering a deeper look at Endfield’s world, tone, and systems.
The official release trailer leans heavily into cinematic presentation, backed by the original anthem We Are Empire by rock band STARSET. It highlights the conflict-driven sci-fi identity of the Arknights universe, setting the stage for the events unfolding on the hostile planet Talos-II.
Alongside it, the New Horizons gameplay trailer focuses squarely on in-engine footage, showcasing expansive industrial landscapes, specialised Operators, and the layered mystery driving Endfield’s narrative direction.
Strategic Combat, Base-Building, and a New Frontier Story
Arknights: Endfield introduces an entirely new storyline within the Arknights universe, built around exploration, real-time squad combat, and large-scale industrial base management.
Players assume the role of the Endministrator, a legendary figure awakened from a decade-long hibernation to lead Endfield Industries from the orbital vessel OMV Dijiang. On the surface of Talos-II, players command squads of up to four Operators, combining skills, elemental interactions, and positioning to overcome fast-paced encounters.
A central pillar of gameplay revolves around the Automated Industrial Complex (AIC) system, which allows players to design interconnected production chains and power grids across the wilderness.
These facilities must be actively defended against organised raider factions, while also playing a key role in uncovering the origins of the Endministrator’s mysterious Zeroth Directive. The result is a structure that blends RPG progression with strategic infrastructure planning.
Technical Features and Platform Support
From a technical standpoint, Arknights: Endfield leverages modern graphical features, including native 120 FPS support, realistic snow deformation, dynamic puddle reflections, and advanced lighting.
On PC, players can independently toggle NVIDIA DLSS Super Resolution and Frame Generation, while controller support includes both PlayStation and Xbox layouts with full haptic feedback integration.
Arknights: Endfield launches on January 22 as a free-to-play title with optional in-game purchases on PlayStation 5, PC, and mobile devices.
