Arknights: Endfield Content Creator Program Vol. 1
Launched concurrently with the beta test announcement on December 14, 2024, the Arknights: Endfield Content Creator Program Vol. 1 is now accepting applications. Selected creators gain access to the official community, exclusive perks, and special events.
The program has two categories: Gameplay Insights (reviews, lore discussions, streams, etc.) and Fan Creations (memes, fanart, cosplays, etc.). Both categories share the same eligibility requirements, including original content, proof of account ownership, and links to previous work.
While meeting the requirements increases your chances, selection isn't guaranteed. The application period runs from December 15, 2024, to December 29, 2024.
