Arknights Endfield Prepares for the Homecoming Update With New Regions and Characters
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Arknights Endfield is launching its Homecoming update, bringing two new characters, fresh regions, and key quality-of-life improvements after a six-hour maintenance window.
Hypergryph and Gryphline are rolling out the fourth major patch for Arknights Endfield, bringing a fresh wave of content to the expanding sci-fi strategy RPG. Titled Homecoming, this update introduces two brand new playable characters to add to your roster. Arcane leads the charge as a caster utilizing floating weaponry during the first half of the patch, while Liino steps in as a supporter starting on August 9. Alongside the character banners, players will get two new regions to explore, fresh combat trials, and the usual rotation of events and battle pass tracks to progress through.
Server downtime for the Homecoming update is scheduled to begin on Wednesday, July 15 at 6 p.m. EDT, lasting for approximately six hours. You will want to wrap up any ongoing farming or limited time events before the servers go offline. Once the maintenance concludes, the fresh update will drop alongside its accompanying gacha banners and progression tracks.
Beyond the story and characters, the patch brings several quality-of-life adjustments aimed at smoothing out the endgame grind. Players can finally transmute high-tier materials down into lower tiers, access new crafting options for gear, and enjoy better storage management for high-end base decorations. The Automated Industry Complex is also seeing meaningful expansions, including the introduction of gas mechanics and extended conduit distances to optimize your automated setups.
