Arknights Festival 2022: Spotlight Cinematic
Arknights Festival 2022: Spotlight Cinematic is an offline event held under the oversight of Hypergryph. It was first announced with Ambience Synesthesia 2022: Spotlight Cinematic during CN 2.5 anniversary/Thank-you celebration livestream. It is the second offline event ever held for Arknights (though being the first one being announced), featured Arknights' exhibitions and mini-games.
This event has two types of tickets: RMB 298 for normal entrance, and RMB 598 for express entrance that include quicker access for the exhibitions and goodies.
The event was originally planned to be a warmup event for the 2022 Ambience Synesthesia that was to be held between October 2 to October 5, 2022, at the Canton Fair Complex in Guangzhou, and the event's ticket could be pre-booked on September 1. However, three days after the opening for pre-booking, it was unfortunately delayed to an unannounced date later due to a new wave of Covid-19 surge that tightened the local pandemic restrictions.[1] Nevertheless, on April 12, 2023, Hypergryph announced that the delayed 2022 Festival will be held again between April 29 to May 2 at Shanghai World Expo Exhibition and Convention Center as a warmup event for both the 4th Anniversary and the 2023 Ambience Synesthesia.
The event contains thirteen exhibitions which include four scenes from the 2022 Ambience Synesthesia featuring the background settings for Dreamland, Jiang Hu, Quadrant Breaker, and Phenomenal Agents. The other exhibitions include real-life sceneries of the Acahuallan rainforest, Sal Viento, and Dossoles, a reconstruction of the Rhodes Island landship, Penguin Logistics-themed merchandise stall, the Distribution Station featuring collaboration with Lawson that provides food and drinks, and Operator Reference Room acting as a mini exhibition. The exhibitions will include some mini-games and entertainment facilities like a recreated Dossoles Warrior Championship event, a carousel for the Dreamland section, a Whac-A-Mole game featuring Seaborn, and Phenomenal Agents-themed room escape.
A four-day interactive event will be held as well with 魔法Zc目录 and 今天鸽子球咕咕了吗, two of the influential content creators on Bilibili, being the hosts. There will be fans-meeting by the Chinese VAs, interactive mini-games, and mascot session.
