The Arknights: Endfield Beta Test II will be a limited wipe test, with all data cleared when the servers shut down at the end of the test period. An end date for Beta Test II will be announced at a later time. During the test, data can be synchronized between PC and mobile devices using the same account. The beta will offer English, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Spanish, and Russian localization. A full list of recommended specifications for each platform can be found on the official website.

About the Game
Set in the universe of the hit mobile game Arknights, Arknights: Endfield introduces a new immersive story and a frontier world filled with exploration, real-time combat, and base-building. Players will command teams of up to four operators, all of whom will be fighting along their side simultaneously, allowing for skill combos, elemental synergies, and other coordinated strategies. Following an initial PC technical test in 2024, the game held its first closed beta test in January 2025, offering players hands-on experience of the updated combat and AIC factory system, where players can build facilities and an automated production line.
