Beta Test II Starts on November 28 with PS5 Technical Test Coming At A Later Date
Arknights: Endfield will have its second beta test on November 28, as announced during its special program livestream on October 31. Developer Mountain Contour and publisher Gryphline announced that Endfield’s Beta Test II will be for PC and mobile devices (iOS and Android).
Similar to the game’s first beta in January 2025, Beta Test II will be a limited wipe test, which means all progress will be cleared after the test period. Furthermore, PC and mobile devices with the same account can synchronize their data.
As for the required specs, PC players must have an RTX 2060 GPU and an i7 or higher CPU. On the other hand, Android devices must have a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor, while iOS devices must be iPhone 13 Pro or higher. Further details regarding the required specs can be found on the game’s official Test Guidelines page.
The developers have yet to announce the end date for the beta, but fans can now sign up via the game’s official website. Additionally, they revealed that a PlayStation 5 Technical Test is coming soon, with the official testing period to be announced at a later date. Players can also sign up as early as now on the website for the PlayStation 5 Technical Test as well.
Rebuilt Storyline, New Region, New Characters, and More
Endfield’s Beta Test II will feature a rebuilt storyline, a new region to explore, and more. According to Game Producer Light Zhong and Level Designer Rua, they have adjusted the game to address player feedback they received from the initial closed beta test.
One of the highlights of this upcoming beta test is the game’s rebuilt story, which includes new cutscenes and dialogue that allow player decisions to shape the story's paths. Furthermore, there will be a new region for players to explore called "Wuling," a place that fuses Eastern aesthetics with futuristic elements, creating a traditional yet contemporary setting.
A massive roster update adds nine new Operators, featuring three six-star characters: Ardelia, Last Rite, and Pogranichnik. Aside from new character additions, combat has been enhanced with new combo skills, refined abilities, and updated boss encounters.
Other functions that Beta Test II will include are an improved Automated Industry Complex (AIC), which is the base-building system of the game, item crafting, photo mode, teammate guidance, crate detection, and more. It will also feature localization in English, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Spanish, and Russian.
