Arknights: Endfield is making a major appearance at Anime NYC 2026, giving fans their first chance at the event to go hands-on with the game’s latest “Homecoming” demo. Gryphline is showcasing the playable build from August 20 to 23 at the Javits Convention Center in New York City, building excitement ahead of an even larger presence at Gamescom 2026 in Cologne.
The Anime NYC booth puts the spotlight on the Homecoming update, which is described as the game’s biggest content expansion so far. Players can explore new areas, including Yingling Pass and the North Wuling Exclusion Zone, while also trying out the playable operators Arcane and Liino. For fans following Arknights: Endfield closely, the demo offers a strong look at how the game is evolving through new environments, characters, and combat experiences.
Gryphline is also turning the booth into more than just a gameplay station. Visitors can take part in character-themed activities such as the Chubby Lung Basketball Challenge and pose for photos with an inflatable dancing tube man. Fans attending the event can also collect a Perlica tote bag, previously distributed at other major anime conventions, and join a lucky draw for a chance to win exclusive merchandise.
The Arknights: Endfield booth is located at #2105 on the Anime NYC show floor. This marks the game’s first official exhibition at Anime NYC, making it a notable moment for players in North America who want to experience the title in person.
After Anime NYC, Gryphline will take Arknights: Endfield to Gamescom 2026, which runs from August 26 to 30 at Koelnmesse in Cologne, Germany. The publisher is planning a much larger setup this year, occupying two adjacent booths, B012 and B021, in Hall 8.1. Compared with its previous appearance, this expanded space will allow for more hands-on opportunities, interactive installations, and fan-focused activities throughout the event.
One of the biggest highlights at Gamescom will be the Boss Speedrun Challenges. Players will compete to defeat difficult encounters as quickly as possible, with scores displayed on a live leaderboard during the day. The best-performing challengers will move on to an on-stage Final Challenge Tournament, giving the audience a chance to watch skilled players battle some of the toughest content in Arknights: Endfield.
Gryphline is also encouraging players to support the game on Steam through a wishlist milestone campaign. As the community reaches set goals, free in-game rewards will be unlocked ahead of the full PC release on Steam. In addition, eligible buyers through the Epic Games Store can receive a special Perlica outfit connected to a crossover promotion.
Arknights: Endfield launched on January 22, 2026, and is currently available on PlayStation 5, PC through the Gryphline launcher and Epic Games Store, and mobile devices through the App Store and Google Play.
With the Homecoming demo, new playable operators, convention-exclusive activities, and competitive boss challenges, Arknights: Endfield is building strong momentum across major gaming and anime events. For fans of action RPGs, anime-style worldbuilding, and the wider Arknights universe, the game’s appearances at Anime NYC and Gamescom 2026 offer a closer look at where Gryphline is taking the series next.
