Arknights: Endfield Release Not Expected in 2025
Apple listing sparks confusion but official updates remain silent
Fans of gacha games will need to wait a little longer for Arknights: Endfield, the highly anticipated new title in the Arknights universe. A wave of confusion recently spread when Apple’s official website mistakenly listed the release window as early 2026, before quickly removing the information.
The slip-up occurred on a promotional page for the iPhone Air, where Apple showcased the capabilities of its latest processors for high-end mobile gaming. Among the highlighted titles was Arknights: Endfield, with the text stating it would launch in “early 2026.” The listing was promptly corrected to a more general note saying the game is “coming to iOS, release date subject to change,” directing fans to the developer’s website for the most accurate details.

However, checking the official Arknights: Endfield site shows no mention of a confirmed launch date. The latest update remains from February 2025, following the game’s closed beta earlier in the year. Since then, Hypergryph has stayed mostly silent, leaving fans with unanswered questions about the timeline.
Arknights: Endfield continues the universe of Arknights but sets its story on a new frontier. Players will begin on Talos-II, a hazardous planet filled with disasters and hidden dangers. Within its uncharted Habitable Band, players will work alongside Endfield Industries to uncover mysteries buried deep in the world.
The game introduces fresh mechanics and gameplay systems, giving players real-time control of a party exploring Talos-II. Missions, story progression, and exploration form the core experience, while enemies and factions across the planet offer a wide range of challenges. Real-time strategic combat will play a major role, and the game is set to release on both PC and mobile.
At present, Arknights: Endfield remains in early stages of development with no solid release date confirmed. This uncertainty has only heightened speculation, but it also shows Hypergryph’s intent to ensure the game meets expectations. For fans, the wait might be frustrating, yet it reflects the scale and ambition the developers are putting into this new chapter of the Arknights world.
Final Thought
The mistaken Apple listing has stirred excitement and impatience, but it also highlights just how strong anticipation remains for Arknights: Endfield. While a 2025 release is officially off the table, the prospect of a 2026 launch could give Hypergryph the time needed to polish the game into something truly groundbreaking. Waiting may not be easy for fans, but the depth of world-building, new mechanics, and real-time strategy focus suggest that patience could be well rewarded when Endfield finally arrives.
