Gaming enthusiasts are buzzing as Hypergryph officially kicks off the highly anticipated second beta test for Arknights: Endfield, the ambitious free-to-play action-RPG spin-off from the acclaimed Arknights franchise. Following its initial closed beta earlier in 2025, this latest iteration promises a substantial leap forward, packed with significant upgrades and content for eager players.

Extensive Content and Refined Gameplay Experience

According to Hypergryph, this work-in-progress build of Arknights: Endfield boasts an impressive "50-60 hours worth of polished content," indicating a rich experience even at this development stage. Players can dive into a completely rebuilt storyline, complemented by fresh cutscenes that enhance the narrative immersion. The core combat mechanics have undergone meticulous refinement, promising a smoother and more intuitive feel compared to previous tests. Adding to the expansive world, a brand-new region named Wuling is now open for exploration, offering fresh challenges and discoveries.

Forge Your Destiny on Talos-II

In Arknights: Endfield, players assume the role of the Endministrator, the leader of Endfield Industries, grappling with a mysterious past. As the Endministrator endeavors to reclaim their memories and establish their footing, they will fight alongside a diverse cast of companions, venturing across the untamed planet Talos-II. A key gameplay pillar, reminiscent of titles like Satisfactory, involves resource extraction from the planet and the strategic construction of factories to efficiently process materials, adding a deep layer of management to the action-RPG formula.

New Operators Join the Ranks & Pre-Registration Perks

This second beta introduces nine new operators to the game's roster, expanding the tactical possibilities for players. Among these additions are three highly sought-after six-star ranked characters: Ardelia, Last Rite, and Pogranichnik, offering powerful new options for team composition. Players looking to get a head start can still pre-register on the game’s official website to earn exclusive rewards, including a five-star operator, Snowshine, once the community reaches the 5 million pre-registration benchmark.

Hands-On Impressions & Glimpse into the Future

Early impressions from those who have experienced the new beta are overwhelmingly positive. GameSpot’s hands-on trial noted that the combat felt significantly smoother and more intuitive than its predecessor. Furthermore, the complex factory system, a cornerstone of the game's resource management, has been simplified, making it more accessible and easier for players to maximize their output. While Hypergryph has not yet disclosed an end date for the current beta test, the full release of Arknights: Endfield is currently anticipated for 2026, targeting a wide release across PC, PlayStation 5, and Android platforms.
