Hypergryph announced on the 26th that Arknights: Endfield's new update, 'Echoes of the Past', will be released on June 5th. This update aims to expand story content and enhance the overall gameplay experience, including action RPG combat and factory construction simulation, by actively incorporating player feedback.

With the new update, the long-forgotten ruins of the 'Chasm of the Greatsword' will be unveiled as a new region. This new area features ruins composed of collapsed walls and floating cliffs, where players will team up with the Endfield military police to uncover secrets tied to the 'past'.

Alongside the new region, a new playable character, 'Miev', will join the roster. Miev, the captain of the Endfield military police, is a physical guard character with high mobility, capable of unleashing powerful consecutive attacks by chaining her basic attacks, combat skills, and ultimate. Following her will be 'Camu', a guardian belonging to the Sesha faction, who will act as a fire-attribute vanguard, accelerating the team's skill rotation and supporting combo attacks.

Furthermore, the highly challenging 'Contingency Contract' content, beloved from the previous title 'Arknights', will be newly added. Players will be able to adjust the difficulty by selecting various restrictive conditions themselves, testing their meticulous strategies and team compositions.

Beyond that, in-game convenience features are set to be significantly improved. The integrated industrial system will receive a 'backup power' system to mitigate power outages and an automatic bottleneck processing function for production lines. Inventory management will see improvements such as batch equipment crafting, batch weapon dismantling and lock management, and a 'Perfect Combination' label to aid in essence farming. UI optimizations will also be applied, including an off-screen enemy attack warning UI, seamless switching between controller and keyboard/mouse input, and a revamp of the daily mission system.

Miao Hai, the producer of Arknights: Endfield, stated, "We are developing with the principle that continuous improvement in completeness and optimisation is the only way to achieve a better game experience." He added, "We hope that all the content and improvements we will unveil moving forward will be a result that repays the trust of all administrators."
