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

Arknights: Endfield's initial major beta test is now live, exclusively on PC. This early access grants desktop players the opportunity to explore new content, characters, and gameplay mechanics.

This PC-focused beta test represents a strategic move by developer Gryphline, potentially signaling a shift in focus towards the PC platform, even though the Arknights franchise is deeply rooted in mobile gaming. For dedicated Arknights fans, this beta is highly anticipated, offering a glimpse into the 3D RPG evolution of the series, drawing comparisons to titles like Genshin Impact.

The beta will introduce players to new characters, combat mechanics including dodging and combos, and fresh map designs. Expect a substantial amount of new puzzle and dungeon content, along with other enhancements.

While the PC-first approach might disappoint some mobile players, it's a common strategy amongst developers, mirroring NetEase's approach with Once Human. While a mobile release delay isn't expected to be as significant as Once Human's, it's a factor to consider.
