The worldwide launch of Arknights: Endfield is just around the corner. Hypergryph’s new project will be released simultaneously on all platforms and marks the first major release in the series with its own PC client. This sets Endfield apart from the original, purely mobile Arknights.
Global release without regional staggering
Arknights: Endfield will be released on January 22, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. (UTC+8). As this is a global launch, players in other time zones may start earlier or later. In Central Europe, the server will go live in the early hours of the same day.
Hypergryph is thus opting for a uniform release model in which all platforms receive access at the same time. There are no plans for time-limited exclusivity for individual systems.
PC client as a key innovation
Unlike its predecessor, Arknights: Endfield comes with a full-fledged PC client. This can be downloaded directly from the official Hypergryph website or via the Epic Games Store. The game is also available for mobile platforms.
The standalone client replaces emulators or alternative PC solutions that have been used by many players up to now. Technically, Endfield is based on a significantly more comprehensive 3D approach, but remains true to the basic gacha principle of the series.
Preload already available
A pre-download is already available. Arknights: Endfield can be pre-downloaded on PC, iOS, and Android. According to Hypergryph, the download is around 50 GB, with additional storage space required for unpacking.
Due to the file size, the developer recommends completing the preload before the official launch. No information has been provided about possible download restrictions at the time of launch.
Early registration brings bonuses
Players who register via the official channels before the launch will receive various in-game rewards at launch.
Details on the scope of these bonuses have not been disclosed, but they are the usual launch incentives for gacha titles.
Pre-registration is available on the official website and is independent of the chosen platform.
System requirements for PC players
Hypergryph has also published the system requirements for the PC client. The minimum requirements include Windows 10 or 11, an Intel Core i5 processor, a GeForce GTX 1060, and 16 GB of RAM. However, more powerful hardware is recommended, including a Core i7 and an RTX 2060 graphics card.
However, no further technical details about the status of the servers or possible maintenance windows prior to launch have been communicated.
