Arknights: Endfield is set in the world of the mobile tower defense RPG hybrid Arknights, which launched in 2020.

Arknights: Endfield finds players on a planet called Talos-II, a harsh alien world rife with catastrophes and risks, beset by various threats and disasters, including the supernatural catastrophe known as the Blight.

The deep story and cyberpunk-themed world of Arknights is further explored in season 2 of the popular anime series, Arknights: Perish in Frost produced by Yostar Pictures now streaming on Crunchyroll. 

Gryphline announced that ‘Dreamscape of Wind and Snow,’ the next content update for Arknights: Endfield, will launch on Sept. 2, 2026.

Headlined by Typhoeus, a familiar Operator from the original Arknights, the update sends the Endministrator into the supernatural Snowy Forest. Later in the version, players can explore Suiming through a repeating time loop and recruit Operator Purrchena for free.  

Gryphline also confirmed recently that Arknights: Endfield is coming to Steam soon.

"Seeing that you're enjoying the current content and looking forward to the journey ahead is our greatest encouragement," said Light Zhong, Co-Founder & Game Producer. "Moving forward, we will continue to develop, optimize and bring more new stories, gameplay and content worth exploring so that we live up to your trust and expectations."

Key additions coming in 'Dreamscape of Wind and Snow' include:

Typhoeus Arrives from Rhodes Island 

An easygoing icefield huntress with an almost obsessive curiosity about Sami legends, Typhoeus has travelled far in search of stories that might otherwise be lost to time. Her latest journey brings her to the Snowy Forest outside Yinglung Pass, where she crosses paths with the Endministrator and Chief Engineer Andre. Trapped by enchanted fog that sends travelers in circles, the group must find a way out while uncovering the forest's secrets. As they push deeper into the forest, snow visibly accumulates on their bodies and hair before they encounter the new regional boss, Gloomwald's Rage. 

Wielding a bow as tall as she is, Typhoeus is a Nature Striker who can leap into the air, fire at multiple targets and evade ground-based attacks. She can also deploy a Barrage Array to slow enemies, combining aerial mobility, traps and concentrated Nature Burst damage. 

A Nordic Folk-Electronic Soundscape

The Snowy Forest's worldbuilding also extends to its music. Drawing on Sámi musical culture, the score for 'Dreamscape of Wind and Snow' reimagines Nordic traditions through elements of JRPG music, otherworldly fantasy and electronic production.

The previous 'Homecoming' update established this collaborative approach by inviting electronic artist Crywolf, known for his post-apocalyptic lullaby style, to compose music for a boss battle. For 'Dreamscape of Wind and Snow,' the team partnered with Finnish electronic musician Vilma Jää, known for her work on CONTROL Resonant, to create a Nordic folk-electronic theme that blends her musical style with the world of Arknights: Endfield.

Break the Time Loop to Uncover Suiming 

Opening Sept. 24, Suiming is a new puzzle-exploration map built around the development team's idea to turn an entire city into a puzzle. As the city's tides rise and fall within a repeating 15-minute time loop, previously inaccessible streets and routes emerge, allowing players to recover the parts needed to repair the Waking Bell before the Blight Tide arrives. Each time the tide rises, time rewinds, but collected parts are retained, allowing environmental clues and fragments of the city's past to build across each loop.

Recruit Purrchena for Free

Also beginning Sept. 24, the Purrchena Tribute Event allows players to obtain Purrchena, a Physical Defender, as well as her recommended weapon, Dessert Moment. As the Brand Ambassador for the Ætherside Syndrome Relief Foundation, Purrchena sees her friends and fellow patients as family and is determined to protect them. In combat, she raises her shield to protect nearby teammates and delivers gift boxes that heal allies or trigger different support effects. Completing all six event missions provides enough copies to maximize the Potential of both Purrchena and Dessert Moment. 

Additional Content

Supporting content, including Trial of the Bow, Chubby Lung Attacks, Runners’ Steeplechase, new Echoes of War seasons and additional player-experience improvements, will also make their way to Arknights: Endfield throughout the update.

Arknights: Endfield is available for Android, iOS, PC (Epic Games Store) and PS5.
