Arknights: Endfield Patch Notes History

1. Version updateLatestOctober 15, 2026

   Sanctuary of Ink

   • Two new 6-star operators through successive recruitment events: Si, a Feranmut Proxy whose Inksouls send damage back to the enemy and who buffs Cryo and Heat teammates, and Argent Flow, a sword-and-spear fighter on his warhorse Nuli.
   • Si's Painting, the eighth explorable area in Wuling, a new main-story chapter, Yuanyuan's Blazing Stoves (an inn farming and cooking mode) and the Indigo Experimental Operation Contingency Contract.
   • Quality of life: saved equipment loadouts, finer mouse targeting, combo-skill priority and placing field equipment straight from the depot.

   For buyers

   The game launches on Steam the same day with cross-platform progression, so one account now covers Steam, the official launcher, Epic, PS5 and mobile. A bought account brings its linked logins with it; change every one of them before you spend on it.
