Arknights Endfield Release Special Program Summary

Arknights: Endfield Release Special Program delves into all core concepts of the game, the changes post CBT 2, and what Hypergryph has planned for the future of this new foray. Aside from that, several game trailers have been released!

Optimization

Optimized visual effects: footprints in the snow/snow physics, environment wetness effects, layers of atmosphere and clouds around Talos-II when looking from Dijiang, among others.
Sound conveyance and audio effects otimized: Ambient feedback adjustments, footsteps adjustments.
Polished cutscenes, as well as removal of some disruptive elements such as Memo Beacons from appearing on them.
Improved camera angles; certain objects will now become semi-transparent as you explore, instead of causing a shift in the camera’s zoom.
Most Basic Skills and Combo Skills no longer reset basic attack sequence.
Enhanced on-screen visual feedback effects when the controlled operator gets hit, making then look more obvious. (The screen borders now flash red)
