Unlike its older, mobile-exclusive sibling, the worldwide Arknights: Endfield launch times and release date are almost upon us with a dedicated PC client in hand. The 3D spin-off will launch at the same time across all platforms, so you can have your pick between the fancy bells and whistles of your machine or take Endfield on the go as soon as servers are live.
It's certainly an upgrade from my days of using the Google Play PC client or whatever overly demanding emulator was fashionable at the time. And while Hypergryph's new strategic RPG certainly looks different from the first game, it's still a gacha, so I've got the Arknights: Endfield launch times organized by time zone below to make sure you're on top of those dailies.
When is the Arknights: Endfield unlock date and time?
Arknights: Endfield launches at 11 am (UTC+8) on Thursday, January 22. Since it's a global launch on all platforms, you folks living in Pacific time can play a day early on Wednesday, January 21, at 7 pm PST.
The Arknights: Endfield client is available through Hypergryph's official site or Epic Games. If you plan on playing, I recommend at least checking out the official site (and missions) ahead of time so you can pre-register to earn a handful of the usual gacha freebies.

Arknights: Endfield release countdown
Is there preloading for Arknights: Endfield?
Yes, you can now preload Arknights: Endfield for PC through the official client or the Epic Games Store launcher. It's also available for preloading on iOS and Android devices for those of you who plan to play on the go. Hypergryph recommends you download it now before the big day arrives since it's a hefty 50GB, and I'd urge the same since launch day connectivity is always a gamble.
