Arknights: Endfield, a highly anticipated title that signaled the start of this year's subculture gaming competition, has achieved remarkable commercial success. In just two weeks since its global release, the game has generated 1.2 billion Yuan, equivalent to over 250 billion KRW. It is particularly noteworthy that both in China and globally, the revenue share from PC and PS5 versions has surpassed that of mobile.

This news was announced on the 7th via the official WeChat account of Xuhui District, Shanghai. As the headquarters of Hypergryph, the developer of Arknights: Endfield, is located in this district, the announcement appears to highlight the achievements of major local game companies.

Arknights: Endfield was released on January 22, and within two weeks of its official service, it reached a cumulative global revenue of 1.2 billion Yuan (approximately 253.5 billion KRW). In China, PC accounted for 60% of revenue, while globally, the combined revenue from PC and PS5 accounted for 70% of the total.

Xuhui District evaluated Arknights: Endfield as a global game that has successfully established itself by achieving balanced results across multiple platforms, moving away from the traditional mobile-centric strategy. Furthermore, they praised the game for its high-quality depiction of Chinese-style sci-fi and its inclusion of 'Wuling,' an in-game city reflecting Oriental cultural elements, which allows international players to immerse themselves in the charm of Chinese culture.

Shanghai's Xuhui District supports the gaming and e-sports industry across eight key areas, including development, publishing, operations, and talent cultivation. The district operates the 'Xuhui District Game Industry Service Center,' which connects companies with specialized institutions in technology, publishing, global expansion, and investment to foster game enterprises.

Xuhui District projects that the total production value of its local gaming industry will exceed 78 billion Yuan (approximately 16.49 trillion KRW) by 2025. By highlighting the success of Arknights: Endfield, the district appears to be emphasizing its regional strengths in nurturing the gaming industry.
