Mobile games, despite their small size, are rich in content and have developed into series. Arknights is a fairly well-known IP, and today we'll be looking at the story of its latest installment. Many people are quite interested in when the events of Arknights: Endfield take place, and some veteran players are keen on finding connections between different generations of the game. Let me give you a detailed interpretation.

The time setting for Endfield is 500 years after the previous Arknights, not explicitly stated, but inferred from a grand opening advertisement that appears during a side quest, which indicates the year 1615. However, after the second beta test, there were rumors that it might be changed to 1000 years later. We'll have to wait for the official release to see.

After knowing this setting, veteran players are most concerned about whether their favorite characters from before are still around. Of course, they are not; 500 years have passed, and they have all passed away. However, among the various characters, one bears a striking resemblance to a character from the previous work, Angelina.

In the setting of this work, she is a genetically modified human, so it's reasonable to view her as a clone of the character from the previous game. This can also be considered a little Easter egg between the two generations. If you want to find more clues, you can explore them in the game yourself, and enjoy playing it as well.

I've already told you the time background of Arknights: Endfield. This is actually a completely fictional era, so don't assume it's set in the Middle Ages just because it's 1615. The story takes place in an age where civilization has been destroyed, with very few of the original inhabitants of Earth surviving, but technology is highly advanced. After people migrated to other planets, they created many genetically modified humans. This kind of setting is common in mobile games, but it's rare to see it done so comprehensively. Fortunately, Endfield is highly polished and worth playing.
