Arknights: Endfield Announced for PS5; Technical PC Test in January
Arknights: Endfield is an action RPG featuring real-time encounters. In the PS5 Announcement Trailer, Perlica, who is Endfield Industries’ supervisor, goes through what the company and Terra have accomplished. They are basically responsible for conquering planets (and possibly harvesting their resources), however, one remains different from the rest. Decades later, this planet remains ‘untamed’, resulting in deadly wars that could wipe out the civilization as we know it.
In November of last month, developer Hypergryph Co., Ltd. released an “Awakening Trailer” to introduce us to Arknights: Endfield’s backstory and how the player fits into all of this. Talos-II is a much-contested planet, which is rife with hostility. Its citizens remain steadfast in their commitment to maintaining their independence but at the cost of rubbing elbows with outsiders. Perlica then alludes that you have had encounters in Talos-II claiming this observation to be true.
But despite this antagonistic relationship, the people of Terra in Arknights: Endfield survived the harshness of the planet, often battling it out against the Blight’s forces. The goal is to maintain a peaceful coexistence with all galaxy worlds to ensure the civilization’s survival.
As the Endministrator, you have been feared and respected by many because of your capabilities. Time and time again, Endfield Industries has awoken you from your Sarcophagus Mk II hibernation to get the job done. Some missions had been deemed as critical, necessitating your helping hand in the process. The galaxy has been in peace for generations until now. With the assistance of the company and the companions it will provide, your task is to deal with disasters in Talos-II.
One of the best features of Arknights is its handling of the Operators or Endministrators equivalent because typically, solving a puzzle would require certain characters and skills. Despite utilizing a gacha system to collect these Operators, players are not required to acquire the rarest ones to move forward in the game. There is also a free Recruitment system that gives them chances to get rarer Operators.
Combat-wise, Arknights: Endfield is much bigger in scale and exciting because of how characters interact with enemies. Depending on their specialization, the Endministrator and their companions can choose to tackle battles at close range or from a distance. However, their respective abilities remain to be seen with the RPG’s progression system.
