If you're a devoted fan of Arknights, you've likely been eagerly following the evolution of Arknights: Endfield, a sequel that promises to expand the beloved universe into new dimensions. Exciting news for PC enthusiasts: the first major beta test for Arknights: Endfield kicks off today, exclusively for desktop players. This early access opportunity allows players to dive into fresh content, explore new characters, and experience the game's evolving mechanics.
While this might be a slight disappointment for mobile fans who have been the backbone of the Arknights community, it's a clear signal of developer Gryphline's intent to extend a welcoming gesture to the PC gaming community. Arknights: Endfield is set to transition the series into a 3D RPG realm, drawing inspiration from successful titles like MiHoYo's Genshin Impact.
As the beta test unfolds, we can expect a wealth of new information to emerge. Players will get to experiment with novel dodge mechanics, combos, and encounter new characters. Beyond the combat, the test will introduce new maps, puzzles, and dungeon content, enriching the overall gameplay experience.

To the end
While I may have slightly exaggerated the sentiment around the PC-only beta, it's intriguing to observe Gryphline's focus on PC first, especially considering the series' strong mobile roots. This move echoes similar strategies by other developers, like NetEase with Once Human, who are also reaching out to the PC audience.
Although we might not see the same delay in mobile release as with Once Human, it's important to stay updated as more details about Arknights: Endfield surface. In the meantime, if you're craving a gacha fix before Endfield's full launch, why not explore some of our top 25 best gacha games?
