Newly formed global game publisher GRYPHLINE announced today that Arknights: Endfield, a 3D RPG with real-time combat and strategic elements, is in development for PlayStation®5 bringing the hit PC and mobile game IP to consoles for the first time. Additionally, GRYPHLINE invites players to sign-up at endfield.gryphline.com for the international technical test which will begin Jan. 11, 2024. In celebration, never before seen gameplay was showcased during The Game Awards 2023 in a brand-new trailer revealing the first footage of the protagonist battling a boss, and offering players a closer look at the title’s engaging combat system.

International players who participate in the upcoming technical test will discover the world of Talos-II and meet the cast of characters featured in Arknights: Endfield. Step into the role of the Endministrator, lead a crew of nine playable characters, confront hostiles with the game’s real-time combat system, explore the tech tree of Endfield Industries, and more.

GRYPHLINE is also happy to confirm that Arknights: Endfield’s factory system will be available during the test period. The feature which was a fan-favorite during the recent technical test held in China, allows players to strategically place factory buildings, connecting them to form automated production lines that produce resources and manufacture products that can give players an edge in battle. In addition, this robust system offers new choices and possibilities for players, allowing them to modify in-game terrain and environments – and impact the world of Talos-II outside of combat. 

The Arknights: Endfield international technical test is exclusive to Windows PC  and will include an English user interface and voice-over by default with the option to select Mandarin or Japanese audio.
