《明日方舟：終末地》是鷹角網路推出的3D即時策略RPG，同時也是《明日方舟》系列的世界觀延伸之作。舞台設定在名為「塔衛二」（Talos-II）的遙遠行星，這片土地充滿未知的危險與變數。人類先驅者在這裡艱難地建立起文明基礎，以巨大的防禦牆圈起定居地，形成新社會的雛形。然而，牆外的廣袤荒野和未開發區域依舊處於混沌狀態，蘊藏著無數資源與潛在威脅。作為玩家，將化身為「終末地工業」的管理員，在“零號委託”的召喚下，肩負起拓荒與重建的重責大任。

在劇情方面，強調「探索」與「開拓」的主題。隨著劇情推進，將帶領幹員深入塔衛二的荒野，調查各種災變遺跡，直面環境危機以及潛伏其中的敵對勢力。透過這些過程，不僅逐步揭開這顆星球的秘密，也將見證人類在異星上如何憑藉工業科技與毅力，逐步建立屬於自己的新家園。故事的氛圍延續《明日方舟》系列一貫的灰暗基調，結合災難、人性與未來工業文明的描繪，使遊戲既有宏大史詩感，也有細膩的角色羈絆描寫。

操作與玩法方面，採用即時戰略與角色養成的混合設計。需運用「自動化工業綜合體」（AIC）系統進行生產與資源調配，建立基地、修復設施，並同時應對外部威脅。在戰鬥中，幹員們各自擁有不同的技能與定位，需根據局勢靈活調度，發揮戰術優勢。與傳統塔防式的《明日方舟》相比，將焦點放在立體的探索與開放式策略，更強調空間的利用、資源的配置與即時的抉擇，在冒險中有更高的自由度。

在市場反應上，自首次公開便引起廣泛關注。作為鷹角網路首次嘗試將《明日方舟》的世界觀推向大型3D作品，承載著極高的期待。許多玩家對遊戲中展示的高品質畫面、細膩的工業風建築，以及角色的戰鬥表現讚嘆不已，認為這可能是鷹角繼《明日方舟》後又一個能在全球市場打響的重磅IP。不過，也有部分玩家擔心遊戲在策略與動作的平衡性，以及角色培養與課金系統是否會影響遊玩體驗。總體而言，隨著遊戲逐步公開實機畫面與測試內容，市場熱度持續升高，業界普遍將其視為繼承與突破並存的嘗試，並有望在正式發售後成為戰略RPG領域的新亮點。

Arknights: Endfield is a 3D real-time strategy RPG developed by Hypergryph and serves as a narrative and thematic extension of the Arknights universe. The story is set on a distant planet called Talos-II, a land filled with dangers and uncertainties. Humanity’s pioneers have struggled to establish the foundations of civilization there, building settlements enclosed by massive defensive walls as the first step toward a new society. However, beyond those walls lie vast wildernesses and uncharted territories that remain chaotic and untamed, holding countless resources as well as hidden threats. Players take on the role of an administrator for Endfield Industries, responding to the call of the “Mission Zero,” and bearing the responsibility of exploration, settlement, and reconstruction.

The narrative focuses heavily on the themes of exploration and frontier expansion. As the story unfolds, players will lead Operators into Talos-II’s wildlands, investigate ruins left by past catastrophes, and confront hostile forces lurking within. Through these endeavors, players gradually uncover the planet’s mysteries while witnessing how humanity uses industrial technology and perseverance to carve out a new home on an alien world. The storytelling carries forward the Arknights series’ signature somber and dramatic tone, combining elements of disaster, human struggle, and futuristic industrial civilization. This results in a narrative that feels both epic in scale and intimate in its portrayal of character bonds.

From a gameplay perspective, Arknights: Endfield blends real-time strategy mechanics with character development systems. Players must use the Automated Industry Complex (AIC) system to manage production, allocate resources, build bases, and restore facilities—all while fending off external threats. Combat is dynamic, with each Operator possessing unique abilities and roles that must be deployed strategically depending on the situation. Compared with the original tower-defense style of Arknights, this title shifts the focus toward 3D exploration and open-ended strategy, requiring players to think spatially, optimize resources, and make timely tactical decisions, offering a greater sense of freedom and adventure.

In terms of market reception, the game has generated enormous anticipation since its first reveal. As Hypergryph’s first large-scale 3D project expanding the Arknights universe, it carries high expectations. Many players praised the impressive visual quality, intricate industrial-style environments, and dynamic combat demonstrations, seeing it as a potential breakthrough that could elevate the franchise into the global spotlight. At the same time, some expressed concerns about the game’s balance between strategy and action, as well as how character progression and monetization systems might affect the overall experience. Overall, with more gameplay footage and test content being revealed, excitement for Arknights: Endfield continues to grow. The industry largely regards it as a bold experiment that blends continuity with innovation, and it is widely expected to become a major new highlight in the strategy RPG genre once officially released.
