Arknights: Endfield Unveiled at ChinaJoy 2024 with Pre-registration Now Open on SKLand
Hypergryph has unveiled its highly anticipated game Arknights: Endfield to the public at ChinaJoy 2024. Hypergryph's transition from its debut in the B2B section last year to the B2C pavilion this year. Prominently positioned at the entrance of the B2C hall, Hypergryph attracted considerable attention.
Arknights: Endfield is an open-world role-playing game (RPG) built on the foundation of Hypergryph's acclaimed tower defence RPG Arknights. Originally announced for 2022, the game expands on the original universe and introduces a new story set on the dangerous planet "Talos II". Developed by Mountain Contour, a subsidiary of Hypergryph, the game promises to deliver an immersive experience with support from Hypergryph.
The game features a dynamic combat system where players control one character while three others are controlled by AI, emphasising strategic positioning and coordinated attacks reminiscent of MMORPGs. Players must navigate battles by minimising damage and executing strategic manoeuvres, paying close attention to team formations and enemy patterns.
At the ChinaJoy event, attendees lined up to get a hands-on experience with "Arknights: Endfield". In addition to demo stations, Hypergryph hosted live competitions on big screens, and cosplay activities with game characters added to the immersive experience, attracting great interest from industry participants.
The release date for Arknights: Endfield is yet to be announced. The game will be available for PC, console and mobile platforms.
