Arknights Endfield Suiming map & free Purrchena event

Gryphline launched the second half of Arknights: Endfield Version 1.5. The update, titled "Dreamscape of Wind and Snow," expands the Wuling region with a time-loop puzzle city and introduces a giveaway for 5-star Operator Purrchena.

The centerpiece of part two is Suiming, a city-sized puzzle zone built around a 15-minute time loop. Water levels shift as the Blight Tide rises and falls, continually opening new alleys, rooftops, and flooded pathways that were previously submerged. The loop resets every 15 minutes, but collected bell components, clues, and map progress carry over permanently into each new cycle rather than resetting with it. Reaching Suiming requires completing the exploration mission Bell of Recollection first, and a separate guide event called Echoing Bell of an Old City rewards players who finish a set of missions inside the zone, including unlocking teleport points and opening protocol crates, with 1,200 Oroberyl and a Mark of Perseverance.

Free operator Purrchena

Alongside Suiming, the Purry Big Feline! Rawr! event hands every player a complete 5-star frontline unit without spending Headhunting permits. Purrchena is a 5-star Physical Defender who wields a sword, and unlike other new operators, she is not added to the standard Headhunting banners, meaning the event is the only way to obtain her. The event also grants her the recommended 5-star Sword, Dessert Moment, with six copies included, enough to fully refine the weapon. Completing the event's missions additionally provides five Operator Tokens, letting players max out Purrchena's Potential nodes at no cost.

Rest of Version 1.5

Part two follows the September 2 launch of Dreamscape of Wind and Snow's first half, which introduced 6-star Operator Typhoeus and sent players into the Snowy Forest near Yinglung Pass. That earlier stretch also debuted the RE-Factor Headhunting system, a new banner structure with its own pity mechanics and progress that carries over to later banners of the same type, and opened the Virtuality season of Echoes of War. The Illusion season of Echoes of War arrived alongside the September 24 content, along with a rerun of Operator Yvonne through a RE-Factor banner. Arknights: Endfield is developed by Mountain Contour and published by Gryphline as a free-to-play spin-off of the original Arknights.
