AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Arknights: Endfield version 1.2 "At the Wake of Spring" launches April 17, bringing a new Wuling story chapter, maps, and the 6-star striker Zhuang Fangyi following a six-hour maintenance window.
Hypergryph is preparing to drop the major 1.2 update for Arknights: Endfield, titled "At the Wake of Spring," bringing fresh content across PC, PlayStation 5, and mobile platforms. Scheduled server maintenance begins at 6 p.m. EDT on Thursday, April 16, and is expected to last for six hours. Players can look forward to jumping back into the action by midnight EDT on Friday, April 17, with developer Hypergryph handing out 900 oroberyl to all eligible accounts created before the patch as compensation for the downtime.
The update introduces a brand new core chapter in the Wuling storyline, alongside two exploratory maps named Marker Stone and Test Area. On the character side, the update launches with the debut of Zhuang Fangyi, a new 6-star electric striker taking center stage on the initial gacha banner. For players looking to bolster their rosters further, a stacked multi-character rerun banner drops on May 14, featuring returning 6-star favorites like Pogranichnik, Ardelia, Laevatain, and Gilberta alongside fresh gear sets and limited-time events.
As live-service economies continue to evolve across mobile and cross-play ecosystems, updates like this highlight the ongoing appeal of robust seasonal content drops that keep communities engaged. Whether you are playing on the go via mobile or settling in for a long session on console or PC, the new patch offers plenty of progression milestones to tackle as the Wuling narrative expands.
