If you're a dedicated fan of Arknights, you've likely been eagerly following the development of Arknights: Endfield, the much-anticipated sequel that's starting to take shape. Today marks the beginning of its first major beta test, but there's a catch—it's exclusively for PC players. While this might be disappointing for mobile enthusiasts, it's a golden opportunity for desktop gamers to dive into new content, characters, and more.

Developer Gryphline seems to be extending an olive branch to the PC community with this early access. Set in the same universe as the original Arknights, Endfield 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 emerge, we'll gain a deeper understanding of Endfield, including new characters, dodge mechanics, combos, and more. This test also introduces new maps, puzzles, and dungeon content, along with various other enhancements.

While I might have exaggerated a bit about the disappointment for mobile fans, it's intriguing to see PC being prioritized over mobile, especially since many of you are familiar with the series through its mobile presence. This move is reminiscent of NetEase's Once Human, where developers are also reaching out to the PC audience. Although I don't anticipate a similar delay for Endfield's mobile release as seen with Once Human, it's something to keep in mind as more details about this sequel emerge.
