Arknights: Endfield officially launches on January 22, and the developers have presented a detailed calendar of events for the game's first version, titled "Zeroth Directive." It covers activities for the first weeks after release.
As part of the first phase, which will last from January 22 to February 6, players will have access to the starting limited banner "Scorched Scars" with Lävatein. Simultaneously, the "Fire Wanderer's Path" event chain will take place, as well as several starting activities for newcomers: the "Awakening" login event, "Influence Level Rewards," and "New Horizons." In addition, training missions and resource acquisition tasks will open during this period, including "Smelting Temper Supply" and "Gravitational Field Raid."
The second phase, scheduled for the period from February 7 to February 24, will add a new banner, "The Flying Dutchman," with the character Gilberta. Players can look forward to the "Swift Courier" events, the "Carly's Valley Tales" photo event, the "Bright Life in Ulin" training event, as well as the "Twilight Monument. Memorials: Old Wounds" challenge, which will last until the end of the version.
The third phase starts on February 24. During this period, the final banner of the version will appear — "Shades of Passion" with Ivonne. New activities will also open, including the "Mystery Exploration" puzzle event, the "Graffiti Supply" to replenish the arsenal, the "Inorganic Construction" activity, and the "Psyche Discount" promotion, which reduces the cost of a number of items.
In addition, the developers announced a series of story events dedicated to the operators Lävatein and Wulfgard, which will be released later.
In total, the version 1.0 update will last 54 days.
