Apple’s App Store revealed the potential release date for the upcoming free-to-play ARPG with factory simulation, Arknights: Endfield, on Nov. 21, 2025.

Developed by the Chinese developer Hypergryph, published by them in China, and published elsewhere by Gryphline, the upcoming game is a spinoff of Hypergryph’s 2019 tower defense title Arknights.
The story of Arknights: Endfield takes place on a moon called Talos-II, a world of natural disasters known as Catastrophes and crises, most notably affected by a dangerous supernatural disaster called Corruption, which causes distorted environments and abnormal physical phenomena in the affected areas. Talos-II was colonized 152 years prior to the game’s story by pioneers from Terra, accessing it through a dimensional portal known as an Æthergate, which was destroyed approximately a century before the events of the game, leaving the Terran pioneers stranded on Talos-II.
Much of Talos-II is wilderness and no-man’s land yet to be explored, and an endemic species of creatures called Aggeloi exists as the primary threat to civilization, while armed raiders known as Landbreakers live on the fringes of society, making a living off scavenging and crime.
The game allows players to take on the role of the Endministrator of the titular Endfield Industries corporation, whose Superintendent Perlica leads the rebuilding of the Protocol Recycling Department with the resumption of the exploration of the ruins by the major powers of Talos-II.
As of the time of writing, the game has already achieved over 25 million pre-registrations, according to its official website, with rewards for all participants as follows:
- 15 million – T-Creds×30000
- 20 million – Advanced Combat Record×20
