Publisher GRYPHLINE and developer Mountain Contour have confirmed that the “Dreamscape of Wind and Snow” version update for Arknights: Endfield launches on 2 September, bringing a new operator, a supernatural Snowy Forest, and a time-loop puzzle map later in the patch window. The update also comes with news that Endfield is heading to Steam soon.
Typhoeus Arrives from the Original Arknights
Headlining the update is Typhoeus, a fan-favourite operator from the original Arknights making her debut in Endfield’s world. An icefield huntress with a deep curiosity about Sami legends, Typhoeus has travelled far in search of disappearing stories. In the Snowy Forest outside Yinglung Pass, she crosses paths with the Endministrator and Chief Engineer Andre — a group quickly trapped by an enchanted fog that loops travelers back endlessly.
In combat, Typhoeus is a Nature Striker who leaps into the air, fires at multiple targets, and deploys a Barrage Array to slow enemies. Players will also encounter Gloomwald’s Rage, the new regional boss lurking deep in the forest. The Snowy Forest comes with a unique audio identity: GRYPHLINE partnered with Finnish electronic musician Vilma Jää, known for her work on CONTROL Resonant, to create a Nordic folk-electronic score blending Sámi musical traditions with Endfield’s world.
Suiming: A Whole City as a Puzzle — Opens September 24
On 24 September, a second major piece of content unlocks: Suiming, a new puzzle-exploration map built around a repeating 15-minute time loop. As the city’s tides rise and fall, previously inaccessible streets and routes emerge. Players must collect parts to repair the Waking Bell before the Blight Tide arrives. Each reset rewinds the clock but retains collected items, gradually uncovering Suiming’s past across multiple loops — a design that rewards methodical exploration rather than raw combat.
Get Operator Purrchena for Free
Also starting 24 September, the Purrchena Tribute Event lets players recruit Physical Defender Purrchena — and her recommended weapon, Dessert Moment — entirely free. Completing all six event missions provides enough copies to fully maximise both the operator and the weapon’s Potential. A support-focused defender who raises her shield to protect teammates and delivers gift boxes that heal allies, Purrchena is worth picking up even if you’re a casual Endfield player. Six missions is a low bar for a fully-potentialled operator.
Arknights: Endfield Coming to Steam Soon
Alongside the update news, GRYPHLINE confirmed that Arknights: Endfield is coming to Steam soon — and that the Steam Wishlist Milestone Event is already live. Players who wishlist the game on Steam unlock in-game rewards at community milestones (30,000 / 100,000 / 200,000 / 300,000 wishlists), with prizes including in-game currency and upgrade materials. A Steam launch would make the global PC version more accessible for Singapore players already using the platform, no launcher needed.
Mountain Contour co-founder and game producer Light Zhong said in a press release relayed by Gematsu: “Moving forward, we will continue to develop, optimize and bring more new stories, gameplay and content worth exploring so that we live up to your trust and expectations.”
Arknights: Endfield is available now on PS5, PC via the Epic Games Store and official launcher, iOS, and Android. The “Dreamscape of Wind and Snow” update goes live 2 September. For more game news, visit Game News on GameTrader.SG.
