Version 1.4 "Homecoming" may still be running, but the community is already looking ahead. Arknights: Endfield 1.5 is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated updates since launch: it is expected to introduce Si, the Feranmut Proxy, open the gates to a brand-new region beyond Yinglung Pass, and set the stage for the Grand Rift and Yuanyuan Manor arcs. Nothing has been officially dated by Hypergryph yet, so this page collects the expected release window, the upcoming operator roadmap, region and story clues from the Version 1.4 livestream, and community leaks in one place. Bookmark it — we will keep it updated as official announcements land.

Arknights: Endfield 1.5 Quick Overview

When Is Arknights: Endfield 1.5 Coming Out?

Expected 1.5 Release Date

Hypergryph has not announced a Version 1.5 release date, but the patch history gives us a reliable window. The update cadence so far has been remarkably consistent: Version 1.1 on March 12, Version 1.2 on April 17, Version 1.3 on June 5, and Version 1.4 on July 16, 2026 — a steady six-to-seven-week rhythm between major versions. Applying that cadence to Version 1.4's July 16 launch points to Version 1.5 landing in late August or early September 2026.

What Official Sources Say

Nothing is confirmed in writing yet. The strongest external signal comes from the Game8 Arknights: Endfield wiki, which tracks the banner roadmap and currently estimates Si's banner at August 30, 2026, with her release "likely" during the Version 1.5 update. Treat that as a well-reasoned estimate, not a confirmed date — Hypergryph's official announcements (typically a livestream a few days before each version) are the only source of truth.

New Operators in Version 1.5 (and Beyond)

The Version 1.4 livestream previewed a surprisingly full lineup of upcoming characters. Some are confirmed as playable; others are still silhouettes. Here is the roadmap as currently understood:

Si (Feranmut Proxy) — Expected Version 1.5 Headliner

Si is the single strongest candidate for the Version 1.5 headliner. Her name was revealed during the Version 1.4 livestream, she was teased as a playable Operator as far back as the Version 1.2 livestream, and she makes an in-game appearance during the Yinglung Pass questline in Version 1.4. In Endfield, that combination of story appearance plus playable preview slot has historically meant a one-version wait before the banner — the exact pattern Liino followed before her August 9 debut. We break down her lore, identity and banner speculation in our dedicated Si guide.

The Sarkaz Archer — "Reconvenor of Typhon" (Leak Name)

The livestream also showed a purple-haired Sarkaz woman with dark horns wielding a massive mechanical bow, whose design closely echoes Typhon from the original Arknights — though her horns, frame and weapon all differ, so she is not a direct copy. Early reports (unofficial) describe her as the "Reconvenor of Typhon," a Nature-element main DPS tied to the snowy forest region. Her footage showed her firing at targets in a snowy landscape, matching a snowy forest region previewed for a later version — strong circumstantial evidence that she carries the Version 1.5 regional story.

Ye Minghui — The Hongshan Imperial Guard (Leak Name)

Game8's livestream coverage described a "calm and resolute imperial guard" — a blonde, beast-eared male Operator fighting with a polearm. Community observers immediately noted his strong resemblance to Młynar from Arknights, but there is a catch: Młynar belongs to Kazimierz in the original game, while this character is affiliated with Hongshan in Endfield. That faction discrepancy is the biggest open question about him, and his official name (Ye Minghui in early reports) is unverified. Reports suggest he may arrive in Version 1.5 or 1.6, possibly paired with Si to balance a banner across two audiences.

M3 and the Manor Mistress — 1.6 and 1.7 Outlook

Two more characters rounded out the preview. M3, described as an elite Endfield Industries Operator who appears from the very start of the main story, shares a strong design kinship with Mon3tr from Arknights; early reports place her in Version 1.6 as an Electric sub-DPS or support. The Manor Mistress of Yuanyuan Manor has almost no information attached — no official model, no story appearance — and is projected for Version 1.7. Treat both as roster planning, not saving targets.

Next Regions and New Gameplay Modes

Snow Pine Forest

The Version 1.4 livestream previewed the next major region: a snowy forest woven with ancient dreams, where dreams and reality overlap, lying beyond Yinglung Pass. Community reports commonly call it Snow Pine Forest. It lines up directly with the Sarkaz Archer's teaser footage, which suggests she (and possibly Si) will anchor the regional story. A deep mountain area near the edge of the North Wuling Exclusion Zone was also teased, featuring painted-realm scenery.

The Grand Rift and Yuanyuan Manor

Further ahead, the roadmap preview showed two more destinations: the Grand Rift, expected to carry the Version 1.6 storyline, and Yuanyuan Manor, a future area with flying stones, waterfalls, autumn leaves and a dedicated gameplay mode — projected for Version 1.7. Official preview footage has even shown Si inside Yuanyuan Manor's gameplay area, hinting at a plot connection between Si and the Manor Mistress.

New Gameplay Modes

The livestream confirmed multiple new gameplay modes across the next two versions: long-range shooting, races, and restaurant management. The shooting mode is the most mechanically significant clue — it gives the Sarkaz Archer a reason to exist beyond an arbitrary banner slot, and suggests Endfield is expanding beyond combat into minigame-style content.

The mode variety is also a strong signal about Endfield's long-term direction. A long-range shooting mode points to a dedicated marksman playstyle that the Sarkaz Archer would slot into; a race mode suggests movement-focused activity built around the new region's terrain — flying stones and waterfalls make natural racetracks; and a restaurant management mode hints that the Yuanyuan Manor arc will lean into lighter, life-sim-flavored content between combat updates. For pull planning, the lesson is simple: Hypergryph is widening the game's scope, so saving for characters you actually enjoy rather than chasing every banner becomes even more important.

Story Clues from Version 1.4

The Wuling Finale and Yinglung Pass

Version 1.4 brought the Wuling main story to its climax, extending the campaign through Chapter II Process VII and adding the Yinglung Pass and North Wuling Exclusion Zone maps. It is inside the Yinglung Pass questline that Si makes her first in-game appearance in her true form — a key hook for Version 1.5, since the story is now positioned to move beyond Yinglung Pass into the Snow Pine Forest.

Teaser Lines and the Sarkaz Connection

Two threads tie the teased content together. First, the snowy forest's "dreams and reality overlap" theme connects directly to the Sarkaz Dream Traveler concept behind the archer — expect dream-related mechanics and storytelling in 1.5. Second, Si's quiet role as a guide and helper in the current story (appearing at Marker Stone as a Butterfly Ink Spirit, assisting Arcane and the Endfield Crisis Team) sets up a larger Feranmut-focused narrative that the Grand Rift arc will likely expand.

Test Server and Beta Status

Is There a 1.5 Beta or Test Server?

As of this writing, Hypergryph has not announced a public test server or beta program for Version 1.5. Endfield ran multiple closed beta tests (CBT) before its global launch, but post-launch version updates have not used public test servers, and there is no official indication that 1.5 will change that. If a beta is ever announced, it will appear on the official Arknights: Endfield website and in official social channels — and most kit details will still only be finalized at the version livestream.

How to Prepare for Version 1.5

Save for the 120-Pull Guarantee

The single most important preparation step is currency. A featured 6-star in Endfield is guaranteed at 120 pulls (60,000 Oroberyl), while soft pity guarantees any 6-star at 80 pulls (40,000 Oroberyl) with a 50/50 on the rate-up. The hard guarantee does not carry over between banners, so never start a banner you cannot finish. Depending on your budget:

What to Do Before 1.5

• Finish Version 1.4 content first: Liino's banner runs August 9–30, Heat Rage! Mega Arena! ends August 13, and The Rooted Realm's 1,600 Oroberyl is on the table until the end of the version.

• Check your pity: your 80-pull counter carries over into Version 1.5's banners — knowing exactly where you stand tells you how much you still need to save.

• Do not build pity on banners you do not want. The 30-pull free 10-pull and 60-pull dossier are only worth triggering when you actually want the rate-up.

• Keep a reserve: if Si and the Sarkaz Archer both interest you, leave yourself a buffer instead of draining everything on Liino.

• Top up at the best rate before the banner hype starts: discounted Origeometry packs, the Monthly Pass and bundles stay live on Topuplist's Arknights: Endfield top-up page all month, so your 1.5 savings buy more pulls per dollar.

How to Track Version 1.5 News and Leaks

Official Channels

The fastest reliable source is the official Arknights: Endfield website and Hypergryph's official social accounts and YouTube channel. Every major version gets a Special Program livestream a few days before launch — the Version 1.4 livestream ran on July 10, six days before the update — and each broadcast historically ends with a limited-time redemption code. Expect the same pattern for 1.5: the livestream is where the release date, kit details, banner order and the new region's official name will be confirmed.

Community and Datamine Scene

While you wait, the English community tracks the roadmap across Reddit (r/Endfield), Discord servers and dedicated databases like Game8's wiki and EndfieldTools.DEV, which maintain character pages for announced units (Si already has one). Datamines and early reports circulate there too — just remember that anything outside an official livestream is unverified until Hypergryph confirms it, and roadmap details are subject to change.

What the Next Livestream Will Confirm

When the Version 1.5 livestream airs, we expect it to lock down: the exact release date, Si's full kit (element, class, skills, signature weapon), the banner order (whether Si is Phase 1 or Phase 2), the official name of the new region, the events and free-Oroberyl plan for the patch, and at least one redemption code. Until then, the estimate above — late August to early September, Si headlining — remains the best-informed guess we have.

Latest Leaks and Community Speculation

The line between confirmed and speculative matters, so here is the honest split: confirmed — Si is an announced playable Operator teased in the 1.4 preview, Liino's banner is officially dated for August 9, and the Snow Pine Forest / Grand Rift / Yuanyuan Manor regions plus the new modes were previewed by Hypergryph. Speculation — the August 30 / Version 1.5 release window, the "Reconvenor of Typhon" name and Nature element for the Sarkaz archer, Ye Minghui's identity, Si's element and class, and the 1.6/1.7 projections for M3 and the Manor Mistress all come from community analysis and early reports, not official announcements. Watch the next livestream — that is where the guessing stops.

FAQ

When is Arknights: Endfield 1.5 coming out?

No official date has been announced. Based on the six-to-seven-week patch cadence (1.4 launched July 16, 2026), Version 1.5 is expected in late August or early September 2026.

Who is the headliner of Version 1.5?

Most signs point to Si, the Feranmut Proxy — she was teased as playable since Version 1.2, appeared in the Version 1.4 Yinglung Pass story, and was previewed again in the 1.4 livestream. Game8 estimates her banner at August 30, 2026.

What new operators were teased for 1.5 and beyond?

Besides Si, the 1.4 livestream previewed a Sarkaz archer resembling Typhon ("Reconvenor of Typhon" in early reports), a Hongshan Imperial Guard resembling Młynar, plus M3 and the Manor Mistress for later versions.

What new regions are coming in 1.5?

The next region is expected to be a snowy forest beyond Yinglung Pass (commonly called Snow Pine Forest), followed by the Grand Rift and Yuanyuan Manor in later updates.

Is there a 1.5 beta or test server?

No test server or beta has been announced for Version 1.5. Kit details are expected to be finalized at the official version livestream.

How much Oroberyl should I save for Si?

To guarantee any featured 6-star you need 120 pulls = 60,000 Oroberyl. Soft pity guarantees a 6-star at 80 pulls and carries over between banners, but the 120-pull hard guarantee resets.

Should I pull Liino or save for 1.5?

It depends on your roster. Liino is a versatile Electric Supporter who upgrades Electric/anomaly teams to T0; if you do not need her and want Si, collecting 1.4's free currency and saving is a legitimate plan.

Will Version 1.5 have a new region?

Very likely. Hypergryph previewed a snowy forest region beyond Yinglung Pass (commonly called Snow Pine Forest) in the 1.4 livestream, and the Sarkaz Archer's teaser footage was set there. The official name will be confirmed at the 1.5 livestream.

Which 1.5 information is confirmed versus speculation?

Confirmed: Si is an announced playable Operator, and the new regions and gameplay modes were officially previewed. Speculation: the exact release date, Si's kit and element, the "Reconvenor of Typhon" name, and the 1.6/1.7 projections all come from community analysis and early reports.

Where can I top up Origeometry cheaply while waiting?

Top up through Topuplist — the Arknights: Endfield top-up page offers discounted Origeometry packs, the Monthly Pass and bundles so your 1.5 savings go further.
