GRYPHLINE has revealed a major free update for Arknights: Endfield titled At the Wake of Spring, set to launch on April 17, 2026. This update continues the Wuling storyline and brings new game content, Operator, industrial systems, regions, events, and more. So, let’s dive into the details!

Arknights: Endfield update brings new story developments and the first battle against Nefarith

So, this upcoming update continues the escalating tension in Wuling, starting with an emergency report from the new character Zhuang Fangyi involving Ardashir’s sudden appearance near the new Marker Stone facility. And as things spiral further, you’ll be pushed into a direct confrontation with Nefarith for the very first time, and this kind of excites me.

Arknights: Endfield At the Wake of Spring update: New Operator and new regions

1. Arknights: Endfield New Operator: Zhuang Fangyi

Zhuang Fangyi, the new 6-Star Operator, is an Electric-based striker with very high damage output. You can consume Electrification with her battle skill to continuously generate Sunderblades and then strike enemies with thunder. And her ultimate ability significantly enhances your combat performance.

So, Marker Stone is one of the key facilities central to Wuling’s stability and also to suppress the very large rift in the storyline. Here, you’ll find ever-changing spaces and complex pathways, in addition to the obstacles set by Adashir.

Test Area is another new region that is opening later in the update cycle. Overall, this update brings post-disaster restoration, puzzle-solving, and deeper regional exploration.
