Arknights: Endfield PC beta test begins today, no news on mobile test yet

Arknights: Endfield's initial major beta test launches today, exclusively on PC. This PC-focused early access grants desktop players a sneak peek at new content, characters, and gameplay mechanics.

The developer, Gryphline, appears to be prioritizing the PC platform for this initial beta, a strategic move considering the original Arknights' mobile origins. While this may disappoint mobile fans, it promises valuable feedback from dedicated PC players, shaping the game's development.

Endfield, set within the Arknights universe, aims to transition the series into the 3D RPG realm, similar to Genshin Impact. This beta test will unveil significant new features, including new characters, innovative dodge mechanics, combo systems, expanded maps, and challenging puzzle/dungeon content.

While the PC-first approach might seem surprising given the series' mobile roots, it reflects a growing trend among developers to broaden their reach to the PC market. This strategy mirrors NetEase's approach with Once Human. While a mobile release timeline remains unconfirmed, it's expected to follow sooner than Once Human's extended delay.
