35 million players around the world are waiting with bated breath for the launch of GRYPHLINE’s highly anticipated 3D Industrial role-playing game, Arknights: Endfield. The publisher celebrated the news with the release of two brand-new trailers ahead of the game’s launch on January 22nd, 2026.
The release trailer features cinematic animations set against the high-octane original anthem “We Are Empire” by rock band STARSET, while the ‘New Horizons’ trailer highlights the game’s vast industrial landscapes, specialized operators, and unfolding mystery.
Arknights: Endfield introduces a new frontier storyline and a world built around exploration, strategic real-time combat, and base-building. Players command squads of up to four Operators, combining skills, elemental synergies, and coordinated tactics across fast-paced encounters. The story follows the Endministrator (Endmin) – a legendary guardian awakened from a ten-year hibernation to lead Endfield Industries from their orbital headquarters, the OMV Dijiang.
On Talos-II, players harness the Automated Industrial Complex (AIC), a system used to architect integrated production networks and power grids across the wilderness. As the Endmin, players must manage these facilities while defending the Civilization Band from organized raider clans and investigate the origins of their self-commissioned “Zeroth Directive”.
Arknights: Endfield is also the latest entry set in the popular Arknights universe, and has already garnered more than 35 million pre-registrations worldwide. To celebrate the milestone, all community rewards and special gifts revealed during the livestream will be available for players to claim starting on launch day.
