Free-to-play RPG confirms Gamescom 2026 appearance.

Publisher GRYPHLINE and developer Mountain Contour will release a Steam version of free-to-play 3D RPG Arknights: Endfield, the companies announced. Wishlisting is available now.

Additionally, the companies confirmed plans for the game’s attendance at Gamescom 2026, which will run from August 26 to 30 at Koelnmesse in Cologne, Germany, and details on its latest Fornite collaboration.

Get the details below.

Gamescom 2026

Arknights: Endfield will return to Gamescom from August 26 to 30, 2026, with two side-by-side booths in Hall 8.1. Large-scale boss statues and panoramic LED displays will anchor the expanded space. Across the two booths, visitors will also find photo installations, playable areas and a dedicated stage hosting live performances and developer talks.

Visitors can move from those installations into a playable Boss Challenge against Triaggelos, Nefarith or Alleikhreos. The demo also feeds into a wider competition: players can submit their clear times and assigned UID to a live leaderboard for a chance to qualify for the Daily Boss Speedrun Final Challenge on stage. Players who defeat a boss within the target time will also receive a Perlica Round Tote Bag.

Beyond the competition, the Stamp Collection Event leads visitors through the Hero Shot, Boss Challenge, Social Share and Player Survey. Completing all four missions earns one lucky-draw entry, while individual activities offer printed photos and collectible rewards. Visitors can also browse the merch store, and those arriving in Arknights: Endfield cosplay will receive a surprise freebie.

Complete mission requirements and reward details are available in the official booth guide. Rewards and lucky-draw prizes are available while supplies last each day, with participation limited to once per person per day.

Coming to Steam

Players can now visit the game’s Steam store page and add it to their Wishlist ahead of release. The release date will be announced separately.

A Wishlist Milestone Event will run until the game launches on Steam, unlocking T-Creds, upgrade materials and a special commemorative portrait frame as wishlists reach 30,000, 100,000, 200,000 and 300,000.

Perlica Outfit Arrives in Fortnite

The previously announced Arknights: Endfield x Fortnite collaboration continues August 14 with the release of the Perlica Outfit. Beginning at 8:00 p.m. ET, players can purchase the outfit in the Fortnite Item Shop or receive it through a qualifying Arknights: Endfield purchase on the Epic Games Store. Timing and eligibility details are available in the official Perlica Outfit FAQ.

Arknights: Endfield is available now for PlayStation 5, PC via the official launcher and Epic Games Store, iOS via App Store, and Android via Google Play.
