If you're a dedicated fan of Arknights, you're likely eagerly following the evolution of Arknights: Endfield, the sequel that promises to expand the universe into a new dimension. Today marks the beginning of its first major beta test, but there's a catch—it's exclusively for PC users.
While this might be a bit of a letdown for mobile enthusiasts who've grown accustomed to the series on their handheld devices, it's a golden opportunity for desktop players to dive into fresh content, explore new characters, and more. Developer Gryphline seems to be extending a friendly gesture to the PC community with this early access, hinting at their focus on enhancing the PC gaming experience.
Set in the same universe as the original Arknights, Endfield is poised to venture into the 3D RPG genre, taking inspiration from titles like MiHoYo's Genshin Impact. As the beta test unfolds, we can expect a wealth of information to emerge, including insights into new characters, innovative dodge mechanics, exciting combos, and more. Players will also have the chance to navigate new maps, tackle puzzles, and delve into dungeon content, all of which promise to enrich the gameplay experience.
To the end
While I might have slightly exaggerated the disappointment for mobile fans, it's intriguing to see PC being prioritized in this instance, especially given the series' strong mobile roots. This move is reminiscent of other developers, like NetEase with Once Human, who are also making strategic plays to engage the PC audience. Though I don't anticipate a similar delay in Endfield's mobile release as seen with Once Human, it's something to keep an eye on as more details about the sequel emerge.
