About
Arknights is a mobile tower defense (TD) game developed by Hypergryph. Originally released in mainland China (CN) on May 1, 2019, it later received a release in Japan, Korea, North America, Europe, and Southeast Asia (collectively known as Global) by Yostar on January 16, 2020, and in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau (TW) by Longcheng on June 29, 2020.

While at first it appears to be a deceptively simple TD, Arknights tends to be more difficult than the run-of-the-mill TD game due to tricky maps, enemy design, and challenging combat puzzles. One strong aspect of the game is the player's management of Operators and the correct use of their abilities to achieve victory. Arknights also features an important base building feature.

Arknights utilizes a gacha system for players to obtain Operators, however, the game designs stages to be solvable using Operators of the most common rarities. In addition, the Recruitment system permits the free, albeit rare, acquisition of most of the older high rarity Operators.

Due to the differing release dates of each version as well as other factors, the Global server of Arknights is ~6 months behind the CN server, while the TW server is ~8 months behind CN (~3 months behind Global).

What's Up and New sticker.png
Episode 13 is now released in the Global server, so let's return to Londinium and continue our journey in the Main Theme where things will escalate, and we wish you luck in pulling for Hoederer as well as recommending you to buy new outfits for Fiammetta and Dorothy!

The second Tactical Support event is also live until April 30, which will aid you a lot in preparing yourself to beat EP13!

Furthermore, Zwillingstürme im Herbst will be live right after in April 30, so we hope you're still up to head into Leithanien and experience another intrigue-filled story!

At the meantime, the first iteration of an unofficial Arknights international tournament, named Skywalking Global League in EN, is now live! This is the time to prove your skills in Mizuki & Caerula Arbor across all servers during the qualifier match!

  • ...that Kal'tsit was usable as an Operator in the beta of Arknights, where her gameplay differed from that of her current incarnation?
  • ...that because Amiya's Touch the Stars and Exusiai's "City Rider" outfits are exclusive to the CN server, Astesia, Jessica, and Suzuran are the only Operators with three outfits in the Global server as of December 2023?
  • ...that April, Ash, Tachanka, and the Terra Research Commission are the only Operators who received an outfit when they were released?
  • ...that Contingency Contract Base Point's trailer for each of the four Arknights servers featured different gameplay footage?
  • ...that despite its mixed reception, Pinch-Out Experimental Operation had become the basis for the Battleplan iterations of Contingency Contract, starting with C.C. Pyrolysis?
  • ...that alchemaniac and Namie had a back-and-forth exchange of jabs involving Goldenglow on Twitter/X?
  • ...that in a fit of irony, most Victorian Operators with English dialogues do not speak British English even though Victoria is Terra's analogue to the United Kingdom?
