On June 5th, Gryphline will release the next update for Arknights: エンドフィールド. アップデート, titled “Sketches of Lost Heirlooms,” will pick up where the story last left off after the crisis in Wuling is resolved. Recent activity has made a long-lost location accessible, and Endmin and his companions will travel there to discover what secrets it holds.

Two new characters will become playable during this update. The first at this time is a well-known friend, the captain of the Wuling Watch, Mi Fu. It will be available when the update is released. The second is a new character, Camille. He is a Guardian of Seš’qa who investigates internal criminal cases. Both characters are accompanied by their own story quests.

There’s apparently good news for experienced Arknights players too. The customizable hardcore challenge mode “Contingency Contract” comes to the factory-oriented action role-playing game. Players have control over the difficulty level and activate certain “Test Criteria” and “Key Criteria” modifiers that affect how the content plays. しかし, the content is intended for hardcore players, so players must pay attention to the composition of their team.

ついに, the developers announced some quality of life improvements to help optimize factories. 初め, “Backup Power” is introduced. This will help prevent power outages in factories. しかし, I wouldn’t rely entirely on it. The update also introduces an automatic feature that resolves blockages for various recipes. Players can also look forward to bulk artificing for equipment, the ability to dismantle weapons in batches, などなど. The user interface is also updated.
