"At the beginning of 2025, Hypergryph shared the first closed beta test for Arknights: Endfield, the free-to-play action-RPG spin-off from the Arknights franchise. Now, the second beta test has begun, and it appears to be a considerable upgrade over the game's previous state. This work-in-progress build has "50-60 hours worth of polished content,"a rebuilt storyline, fresh cutscenes and more according to Hypergryph. The combat has also been refined and there's a new region, Wuling, that's now ripe for exploration."
"The game casts players as the Endministrator, the leader of Endfield Industries who has no memory of the past. As the Endmin reclaims their life, they fight alongside companions and attempt to explore and exploit the wild planet Talos-II. Much like Satisfactory, players can extract resources from the planet and build factories to fully utilize the materials they have at hand. Nine new operators have been added to the game in this beta, including a trio of characters--Ardelia, Last Rite, and Pogranichnik--who have six-star rankings."
"Players who pre-register on the game's official site can earn a five-star operator Snowshine and other rewards when the community hits the 5 million benchmark. GameSpot tried out the new beta earlier this month, and the combat was noticeably smoother and more intuitive than in the previous beta. The factor system was also simplified to make it easier for players to understand how to get the most out of it."
The second closed beta for Arknights: Endfield delivers substantial upgrades compared with the prior build. The work-in-progress includes 50–60 hours of polished content, a rebuilt storyline, new cutscenes, refined combat, and a new region called Wuling. Players assume the role of the Endministrator and work with companions to explore and exploit the planet Talos-II, extracting resources and building factories in a Satisfactory-like progression. The beta adds nine operators, including three six-star characters, and offers pre-registration rewards tied to community milestones. Combat responsiveness and a simplified factor system were highlighted, and a full release is expected in 2026.
