Arknights: Endfield[a] is an action role-playing game developed by the Chinese developer Hypergryph, published by them in China, and published elsewhere by its international division, Gryphline. It is a spinoff of Hypergryph's 2019 tower defense game Arknights. The game was released on January 22, 2026, for PlayStation 5, Windows, and mobile devices.[2]
Arknights: Endfield is a real-time 3D action role-playing game with strategic elements. Unlike the original Arknights, which features tower defense mechanics, Endfield introduces a semi-open world experience with base-building and strategic management elements.[3][4]

The core mechanism of combat is the combo skill system. Players control a four-member team simultaneously, with the ability to seamlessly switch between characters during battle, each possessing unique skills and abilities.[5] Combat operates through a semi-real-time system where players can switch control between different characters, utilizing skill combinations and tactical coordination to defeat enemies. The system includes multiple attack types: basic attacks, tactical skills, combo skills, and ultimate abilities. Basic attacks are further divided into normal attack, drop attack, dodge pursuit, and execution moves.
The four-member team shares three skill gauges, and any operator can consume one to use a tactical skill. The skill gauges recharge over time, and operators not under direct control perform only basic attacks. Heavy hits from basic attacks can directly add segments to the skill gauge and increase enemy imbalance values. When an enemy's imbalance gauge fills completely, they enter an imbalanced state, taking increased damage and becoming vulnerable to execution attacks. This imbalanced state lasts temporarily before disappearing, requiring players to re-accumulate imbalance through strategic combat.[5]
Base building and industrial management
Endfield features a base-building system that combines exploration with resource management and aspects of a factory simulation, similar to those found in games like Factorio or Satisfactory. Players harvest resources from remote mining nodes connected by custom ziplines, refine and process materials at specific machines, and route them through conveyor belts for crafting. The system requires budgeting and routing electricity, assigning inputs and outputs, and managing various ore types.[6] Developers aim for an adjustable 50:50 ratio between RPG elements and factory building portions, allowing players to customize their gameplay balance according to personal preferences. The base builder supplies progression items quickly, encouraging players to learn and develop their industrial complexes.[7]
Plot
Arknights: Endfield takes place on a moon called "Talos-II", and the player takes upon the role of the "Endministrator" of the titular "Endfield Industries" corporation.
The moon Talos-II was colonized 152 years prior to the beginning of the game's story by pioneers from Terra, the planet that serves as the setting of the previous game, accessing it through a dimensional portal known as an "Æthergate." This portal was destroyed approximately a century before the events of the game, leaving the Terran pioneers stranded on Talos-II. As a result, several concepts, factions and characters are reprised from Arknights, such as Originium, an energy-rich mineral enabling the use of special pseudo-magical abilities called "Arts" and "Rhodes Island", the pharmaceutical corporation which the player character belonged to in Arknights.
Similarly to Terra, Talos-II is a world of natural disasters known as "Catastrophes" and crises, most notably affected by a dangerous supernatural disaster called "Corruption", which causes distorted environments and abnormal physical phenomena in the affected areas. Much of Talos-II is a wilderness and no-man's land yet to be explored, and an endemic species of creatures called "Aggeloi" exist as the primary threat to civilization; while armed raiders known as "Landbreakers" live in the fringes of society making a living off scavenging and crime. The pioneers belong to different nations and organizations, cooperating and competing with each other on a regular basis.[8][9]
With the resumption of the exploration of the ruins by the major powers of Talos-II, the Protocol Recycling Department was rebuilt under the leadership of Endfield Industries' Superintendent Perlica.
