Players can now test the largest content expansion for Arknights: Endfield before the full release. Gryphline opened hands-on demo stations at Anime NYC 2026, allowing attendees to experience the new 'Homecoming' update firsthand. This early access gives buyers a chance to evaluate the game's direction and new features before committing to the next major patch.
Gryphline hosts hands-on stations for the Homecoming update
The 'Homecoming' demo introduces two new explorable regions: Yingling Pass and the North Wuling Exclusion Zone. Players can also control two new playable operators, Arcane and Liino, during these sessions. These additions represent the most significant content drop for the title since its initial launch.
- Demo Name: Homecoming
- New Areas: Yingling Pass, North Wuling Exclusion Zone
- New Playable Operators: Arcane, Liino
- Platforms: PS5, PC (Gryphlink launcher, Epic Games Store), iOS, Android
The game is available across multiple platforms, including PS5, PC, iOS, and Android. PC users can access the title through the Gryphlink launcher or the Epic Games Store. Mobile players can download the game from the App Store or Google Play. The demo stations at Anime NYC allowed visitors to test these cross-platform capabilities in person.
Gryphline will continue showcasing the update at Gamescom 2026 in Cologne from August 26 to 30. The developer plans to host Boss Speedrun Challenges at a larger booth during the event. We looked at the last Arknights: Endfield update earlier while tracking balance changes, and these new events provide further context on the game's ongoing development cycle.
