Arknights: Endfield Global Release Date Countdown & Pre-Registration Guide

The highly anticipated real-time strategy RPG, Arknights: Endfield, has been officially confirmed for a global simultaneous launch on January 22, 2026, for PC, PS5, Android, and iOS platforms. LDshop will now clearly outline the exact launch schedule, cross-platform pre-registration steps, and how to easily obtain generous pre-registration rewards.

Launch Time & Global Countdown

While the specific launch "hour" has not yet been announced, official information released during The Game Awards 2025 (TGA) confirms the launch date is set for January 22, 2026 (UTC-5).

(*Actual global unlock times may vary slightly by platform and time zone. Please refer to the latest official announcements.)

It's worth noting that the date January 22nd holds a special detail: it coincides with the birthday of the popular Arknights Operator, "Surtr." The Reclaimer "Laevatain," who is based on her, is expected to be a key character available early at launch, showcasing the developer's thoughtful attention to detail.
