Arknights: Endfield developer Gryphline has a good reason to celebrate, as the upcoming free-to-play action RPG has achieved yet another milestone. The developer announced today that Endfield already has over 35 million pre-registrations.

This a major moment for the game, which is poised to be one of 2026’s biggest releases on mobile.

In December, when Gryphline officially revealed the Arknights: Endfield release date , the developer said at the time that the game had surpassed 30 million pre-registrations, meaning over 5 million more have joined in since then.

Arknights: Endfield has pretty much wrapped up closed testing, and we’re in the final stretch ahead of the January 22 launch, when the free-to-play game will go live across PC (where it’ll be available via the Epic Games Store, as well as Gryphline’s own launcher), PS5, and mobile platforms (iOS, Android).

The developer hosted a livestream to celebrate, where it also debuted two new trailers: the launch trailer (below), as well as another look at gameplay . The gameplay trailer also shows off more of the game’s Talos-2 world, and sets up the mystery at the centre of its narrative.

If you’re going to be playing Endfield on PC, you’ll be happy to know that you can expert a breezy experience with support for 120fps. The game also comes with a wide range of modern technologies, including Nvidia DLSS Super Resolution, and Frame Generation. Both Xbox and PlayStation controllers are supported, too.

You can expect more Arknights: Endfield coverage from us at release and beyond. In fact, based on what we played so far, we’re pretty confident in this early Arknights Endfield characters list .

The best Arknights Endfield blueprints for the early- and mid-game

For all your seed, battery, and stock bill needs

Finding the right set of blueprints in Arknights Endfield is the difference between spending hours manually configuring your base and just plunking down setups you know will work without tinkering. Which blueprints are best depends on where you’re at in the game. You can’t, for example, get a head start on advanced production with a battery blueprint if you haven’t actually unlocked the processes by which you make batteries. So your best bet is to upgrade your factory as you progress through the game, adding more efficient layouts or swapping one production set for another.

Below, we list some of the best blueprints in Arknights Endfield for the early- and mid-game, including battery farm blueprints.

The actual best blueprints for the early game, and for any time when you just want to see how a layout might work or start with the basics, are the blueprints you get by completing tutorial simulations. Once you unlock a new facility or process, you’ll see a prompt encouraging you to try it out in a simulation. These are often lengthy and tedious, but you’ll typically get a blueprint that lets you plunk down a basic setup that mimics what you just used. It takes the fuss out of planning and lets you focus just on producing materials you need.

However, as you start progressing, you’ll want to lessen the amount of space each process takes and have several other factors to consider while building. That’s when community blueprints come in handy.

You can opt for full-factory blueprints, but using process-specific blueprints is a lot easier and takes the troubleshooting out of trying to figure out what went wrong, if something were to go wrong. You also have more control over your layout this way.

Anyway, we’ve tested these blueprints from other Endfield players and found they work perfectly.

• LC battery blueprint: EFO01893u6Ou8A126UI73
• SC battery blueprint (courtesy of JesusSandro ): EFO01U4Ai8u7E8OO7Oa8
• Buck Capsule C
• Seed blueprint: EFO0172UA40A7I55O0Ai
• Early power plant (courtesy of CautiousBowl7071 , requires 60 Originium and 30 Amethyst)): EFO01893u55O4o1AUI73

While we cautioned against using full-factory blueprints earlier, this one from seas-are-cute is an excellent option for giving you every material you need without having to bother setting up individual processing stations yourself.

Don’t hesitate to experiment with other blueprints to find what works best for you. Just make sure you have enough power output to keep everything going. Fixing a juice-less factory is much more of a pain than it sounds, so keep up with that as you build.
