Arknights: Endfield Hits 30 Million Global Pre-Registrations, Same As Wuthering Waves

In a major milestone for the highly anticipated Arknights spin-off, Arknights: Endfield has officially surpassed 30 million global pre-registrations just over a month before its worldwide launch on January 22, 2026.

Reaching this tier not only unlocks Snowshine for all pre-registrants but also contributes to additional rewards like 20 Basic HH Permits and the 5-star weapon Finishing Call, provided social media follower goals are met alongside the pre-registration targets.

A New Frontier for Arknights Fans

Arknights: Endfield, developed by Mountain Contour and published by GRYPHLINE, expands the universe of the massively popular tower defense gacha Arknights, which has exceeded 100 million downloads worldwide. Unlike its 2D predecessor, Endfield shifts to a real-time 3D RPG with strategic combat, base-building, and open-world exploration set on the harsh planet of Talos-II. Pre-registrations opened across PC, PS5, iOS, and Android earlier this year, with PS5 support added in late September 2025.

The milestone rewards ladder is ambitious, scaling from 15 million (T-Creds and combat records) up to 35 million pre-registrations (additional permits). With 30 million now in the bag and about 35 days until launch, all eyes are on whether the community can push to the final tier.

How Endfield Stacks Up Against Gacha Rivals

Endfield's 30 million mark places it squarely in elite company among open-world gacha titles from miHoYo (HoYoverse) and competitors. Here's a comparison of pre-registration totals achieved before launch:

Endfield matches Wuthering Waves exactly at the 30 million threshold, a bold target that WuWa hit just days before its debut. It significantly outpaces the flagship Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail, both of which topped out around 10 million despite massive hype. Only HoYoverse's urban ARPG Zenless Zone Zero eclipses it with 45 million-plus sign-ups, unlocking a full suite of pulls, currency, and a free agent (Corin).

This performance underscores Arknights' enduring popularity in China and globally, where the IP commands a dedicated fanbase eager for a 3D evolution. Pre-registrations for Endfield ramped up steadily since late summer, with recent betas fueling momentum.

What to Expect at Launch

With Snowshine secured and more rewards on the horizon, Endfield enters a crowded 2026 gacha landscape dominated by HoYoverse sequels and updates. A strong 30 million pre-reg base signals robust day-one engagement, potentially rivaling WuWa's solid launch amid Genshin competition. Players can pre-download closer to January 22 across all platforms, ensuring a seamless start on PC (Epic Games Store), PS5, iOS, and Android.
