All operators in Arknights Endfield

Arknights Endfield will release on PC, console, and mobile on Jan. 22, and we’ll have plenty of operators, or characters, available at launch.

It’s a gacha RPG, so characters will be obtained from banners. That means, as with most games of this type, you’ll need some luck. Operators also have various rarities, so let’s look at all the operators available at launch.

Upcoming title Bladesong could become the next unique adventure for you in January when the game goes live on PC.

While there have been plenty of games where we get to wield a sword, Bladesong requires you to make them instead. This guide will help you stay on top of the upcoming launch so you can jump in at minute one.

What to expect from Bladesong

If you’ve been playing video games for as many years as I have, you must have used plenty of swords. In Bladesong, you can craft swords without any limits. Thanks to its modular crafting system, you can craft a sword of any design, shape, and size.

With warriors and nobles seeking your services, you’ll have to meet specific needs and expectations. Making a sword will be easy, but giving it shape and turning it into a masterpiece won’t be so simple. You’ll also have to discover secrets in Eren Keep as you spend most of your time smithing the next perfect sword.

There’s a Campaign mode available for those who want to enjoy a narrative journey. Alternatively, you can simply try out your imagination in the Creative mode. If you want to check out the core gameplay, a free demo is available on Steam.
