It’s been six years since we first experienced those Originium-shrouded nights on Rhodes Island, and Hypergryph, creators of the critically acclaimed tower defence game Arknights, is set to release a long-anticipated sequel, Arknights: Endfield.

Set in the same universe more than a century later, the story unfolds in the Enfield Industries facilities on the planet Talus II. Here’s a first look at the game’s uncharted landscapes, gameplay and companions ahead of its release.

As an Endministrator of Endfield Industries, you’re tasked with undertaking each phase of construction, from planning production lines to building new settlements. No task is too great, no detail too small.

Your efforts revitalise the wasteland, as machinery roars into action and restores life to the parched earth.

Building up infrastructure may not seem glamourous, but it is the backbone of future military success.

Your battle unit consists of four fighters who use combat variables to weaken the enemy or trigger teammate combos. Matching up your fighters’ ultimate skills is key to your strategy, and can lead to spectacular wins even if the numbers may seem overwhelmingly against you.

Explore, build, cross the wilderness, tune precision machinery and meet new friends. Are you ready for an adventure?
