Gryphline opened the second part of Arknights: Endfield's Version 1.5 update, "Dreamscape of Wind and Snow," on September 24, adding the new Wuling area of Suiming, a giveaway for the 5-star operator Purrchena, and Yvonne's "Resplendent Spectrum" banner, according to the official version update notes. The first part of Version 1.5 went live September 2 with the 6-star operator Typhoeus. Gryphline, the Western publisher of Hypergryph's game, has also opened a Steam store page for Endfield. Players new to the game can start with our Arknights: Endfield beginner's guide.

What Arknights: Endfield Version 1.5 Part 2 Adds

Suiming is a new area in the Wuling region. Players can work through it alongside the "Echoing Bell of an Old City" guide event, which runs from September 24 at 12:00 server time until the next maintenance and rewards completing specified missions in Suiming with 1,200 Oroberyl and a Mark of Perseverance. The same date opens the "Purry Big Feline! RAWR!" giveaway: players who log in and take part in various game modes can claim Purrchena, five of her tokens, and six copies of the 5-star sword Dessert Moment. The Season of Illusion for Echoes of War also starts September 24, with each season split into three cycles of three stages.

Yvonne's Resplendent Spectrum Banner and RE-Factor Headhunting

Part 2 brings the RE-Factor Headhunting format with "Resplendent Spectrum," a banner that features the 6-star Yvonne as its Rate-UP operator. The patch notes state that RE-Factor Headhunting "has different rules from other headhunting banners" and point players to the in-game details for the specifics. The banner runs from September 24 until the next update, alongside the standard Chartered Headhunting pool.

Typhoeus and the Snowy Forest in Part 1

The first half of Version 1.5 centered on Typhoeus, the 6-star Rate-UP operator of the "Winter Hunt" Chartered Headhunting banner, which runs until September 30 at 11:59 server time. Arcane and Liino sit in the same 6-star pool without Rate-UP status. Part 1 also added the Wuling area of Snowy Forest, new enemies including Gloomwald's Rage, and the "Trial of the Bow" challenge event, which opened September 9 with simulations at Typhoeus's Archery Range. Servers in the Americas and Europe updated on September 1 from 17:00 to 23:00 (UTC-5), and Asian servers on September 2 from 06:00 to 12:00 (UTC+8).

Arknights: Endfield on Steam

Endfield launched on January 22, 2026, and has been playable on PC through Gryphline's own launcher and the Epic Games Store, alongside PS5, iOS, and Android. The Steam store page adds a third PC storefront. Wishlisting is open, and Gryphline has not announced a release date for the Steam version.
