Arknights: Endfield Content Creator Program Vol. 1

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

The program has two content categories: gameplay insights (reviews, lore discussions, livestreams, etc.) and fan creations (memes, fanart, cosplay, etc.). Both categories share the same requirements: applicant ownership of the account, original and relevant content, and submission of links to past work for eligibility review.

GRYPHLINE emphasizes that meeting the requirements doesn't guarantee selection. The application period ran from December 15th to December 29th, 2024.
