Arknights: Developer Endfield shared project development plan. The next update will be released on February 5 and will introduce a number of balance and economy changes.
The main news is the distribution of rewards for progress. All players who complete the story mission “Chapter I, Procedure I: Break the Siege” will be able to select a 6-star Operator from the standard banner.
The February 5 update will also reduce enemy difficulty in exploration areas. Enemy levels will decrease from 60 to 55 and from 70 to 60, while the value of loot drops will remain the same. Additionally, to simplify the starting stages of the game, the developers will start providing materials to craft blue and purple equipment when a certain level of influence is reached.
The authors also share statistics: as of February 1, 2026, players have laid more than 42 billion meters of power lines and repaired 23 million structures. In future patches, the studio plans to increase the number of resources for recruiting characters, allow building bases outside the core zone, and improve the artificial intelligence of allies in battle.
