If you're a dedicated Arknights enthusiast, you've likely been following the development of Arknights: Endfield with great anticipation. This sequel-slash-successor is finally taking shape, and today marks the beginning of its first major beta test—but there's a catch: it's exclusively for PC players.
While this news might be disappointing for mobile fans eager to dive into the new content, it's a golden opportunity for desktop players to explore what Endfield has to offer. Developer Gryphline seems to be extending an olive branch to PC gamers with this early access, hinting at a possible shift in focus for the franchise.
Arknights: Endfield is set in the same universe as the original Arknights but promises to venture into the 3D RPG genre, following in the footsteps of successful titles like MiHoYo's Genshin Impact. As the beta test progresses, we can expect a wealth of information to emerge, showcasing new characters, innovative dodge mechanics, and exciting combos. Additionally, players will encounter new maps, puzzle, and dungeon content, along with various other enhancements.
While I might have exaggerated a bit about the sting for mobile fans, it's intriguing to see PC being prioritized over mobile, especially since many of you are familiar with Arknights from its mobile roots. This move mirrors strategies seen in other games like NetEase's Once Human, where developers are diversifying their platforms and extending goodwill to PC users.
Although I don't anticipate Endfield facing the same lengthy delay for a mobile release as Once Human, it's essential to keep this in mind as more details about the sequel emerge.
