Arknights: Endfield Content Creator Program Vol. 1

Launched concurrently with the beta test announcement on December 14, 2024, is the Arknights: Endfield Content Creator Program Vol. 1. Selected creators gain access to the official community, exclusive perks, and special events.

The program accepts two content categories: gameplay insights (reviews, lore discussions, livestreams, etc.) and fan creations (memes, fanart, cosplays, etc.). Both categories share the same requirements: original content, account ownership by the applicant, and submission of links to previous work.

Remember, meeting the requirements doesn't guarantee acceptance. GRYPHLINE retains the final selection authority. Applications were accepted from December 15, 2024, to December 29, 2024.
