If you're a devoted fan of Arknights, you've likely been eagerly following the progress of Arknights: Endfield, the much-anticipated sequel that's beginning to take form. Exciting news for PC gamers: the first major beta test for Arknights: Endfield kicks off today, but it's exclusively for desktop players. While this might be a slight disappointment for mobile enthusiasts, it's a fantastic opportunity for PC players to dive into new content, characters, and more.

Developer Gryphline seems to be extending a friendly gesture to the PC community with this early access. Arknights: Endfield, set in the same universe as the original Arknights, is poised to transition the series into the 3D RPG genre, following in the footsteps of successful titles like MiHoYo's Genshin Impact.

As feedback and insights from this beta test start to surface, we'll gain a deeper understanding of what Endfield has to offer. Expect to see introductions of new characters, innovative dodge mechanics, exciting combos, and more. This test will also unveil new maps, puzzles, dungeon content, and a host of other enhancements.

To the end

While I might have slightly exaggerated the sting for mobile fans, it's noteworthy that PC is being prioritized here, especially since many of you know the series from its mobile roots. This move echoes what we've seen with other games like NetEase's Once Human, where developers are cautiously exploring the PC market.

Although I don't anticipate Endfield facing the same extended delay for its mobile release as Once Human, it's something to keep in mind as more details emerge about this sequel.
