Arknights: Endfield is Hypergryph's tactical action-strategy follow-up to Arknights, published globally under Gryphline, and it launched worldwide on January 22, 2026 after reportedly drawing more than 35 million pre-registrations. Rather than the tower-defense format of the original Arknights, Endfield mixes real-time squad combat with base-building and resource management across an open industrial world.
What PC players should know
On PC, the game installs through GRYPHLINK, Gryphline's dedicated launcher, and needs meaningfully more disk space than most gacha games: 50GB or more installed, with roughly 90GB of free space recommended during the install itself while files extract. An SSD is the official recommendation, not just a suggestion for smoother loading.
Minimum specs are listed as Windows 10/11 64-bit, an Intel Core i5-9400F, an NVIDIA GTX 1060, 16GB of RAM, and DirectX 11.1 or higher — closer to a modern single-player game's baseline than a typical mobile-first gacha title, which tracks with Endfield being built PC/console-first rather than ported down from mobile.
How the gacha and spending actually work
Endfield uses Oroberyl as its pull currency (500 per single pull, 5,000 for ten) and a separate Arsenal Ticket currency, earned from character pulls, for weapon pulls; 6-star weapons cannot be bought directly, only obtained through that weapon gacha. The character banner guarantees a 5-star every 10 pulls, a 6-star by 80 pulls, and the specific featured 6-star by 120 pulls, and featured operators keep reappearing across later banners rather than disappearing after one limited run — reporting on the system describes it as somewhat more forgiving than typical genre competitors on that specific point, though spending still clearly accelerates progress the way it does in any gacha game.
Who is Arknights: Endfield best suited for?
Existing Arknights fans curious about a real-time, open-world take on the same setting are the clearest audience, as are players who want a gacha game that treats PC as a first-class platform rather than an afterthought — the storage footprint and specs reflect that. Players who are tight on SSD space, or who specifically want a lighter, mobile-first gacha experience, should weigh the roughly 90GB install cost before committing.
