The email arrived: “Arknights Endfield Global Launch Imminent.” A jolt of anticipation, followed by the immediate scramble—clearing my schedule, prepping devices. The day is almost here. This guide will help you keep track of the upcoming launch on PC and mobile.
Previous beta tests gave us an early glimpse of what’s coming. With a roster of characters and mysteries waiting to be solved, let’s pinpoint when this new adventure goes live. The clock is ticking.
Arknights Endfield release countdown
Arknights Endfield is scheduled to launch globally on Jan. 22. That said, depending on your location, the exact moment might feel a little different. The servers go live simultaneously across all platforms.
Once the launch goes live, the countdown above will expire. It reflects these global times.
- PT 5pm (Jan. 21)
- CT 7pm (Jan. 21)
- ET 8pm (Jan. 21)
- UTC 1am (Jan. 22)
- CET 2am (Jan. 22)
Arknights Endfield‘s launch and daily resets operate on Chinese Standard Time. If playing on PC, pre-downloading is an option, but server access synchronizes for everyone. Launch day hiccups are possible if a surge of players tries to connect simultaneously. Console players? It’s a PlayStation affair (current-gen only).
Will Arknights Endfield be free to play?
Many anticipate a free-to-play model, much like its predecessor, Arknights. Should this hold true, expect in-game purchases and gacha mechanics for character acquisition. Keep an eye on official announcements for definitive confirmation as the launch nears. After all, surprises can happen.
Think of gacha mechanics as a vending machine where you never know what you’ll get. Sometimes, you get your favorite; other times, you get something… unexpected.
What platforms will support Arknights Endfield?
The initial rollout includes PC and mobile (iOS and Android). Console availability appears exclusive to PlayStation 5 for now. Whether we’ll see it expand to Xbox or Nintendo Switch remains to be seen. Speculation abounds, but only time will tell if the game branches out further.
The gaming landscape is always evolving, and platform availability is a bit like weather—unpredictable. It’s something to watch closely.
Featuring a launch roster of over 20 characters, Arknights Endfield offers plenty to satisfy gacha enthusiasts. These characters are threads in a much larger tapestry, interwoven with quests and activities. More details will emerge as the full launch occurs, especially since certain systems are subject to change based on beta feedback.
Will my beta progress carry over to the full game?
Typically, progress from beta tests does *not* transfer to the live version. Beta tests serve to iron out kinks, and wiping the slate clean ensures a fair start for all players on launch day. While the effort invested in the beta might not directly translate, the insights gained will give you a head start.
Consider it practice before the big game. You’re learning the ropes, understanding character synergies, and getting familiar with the map. That knowledge is power.
The anticipation is a tangible thing. With pre-registration rewards dangling and launch events planned, will Arknights Endfield live up to the hype?
