After spending declined into early February, it spiked on February 7th when phase two of launch content when live, including a new gacha summoning banner. Since then, spending has spiked approximately once per fortnight, with new updates bringing more to spend on.
Despite new updates triggering spending surges, Arknights: Endfield has seen a decline in player spending each month since launch thus far. From $49.1m in its first month on mobile, the title fell by more than 50% in month two to $24.3m. This fell by another 7% in the game’s third month to $22.7m.
However, daily spend recently reached its highest point since Arknights: Endfield’s launch period, having made $2.9m on April 18th. This was the game’s best-performing day since January 25th, just three days after launch.
The recent sum coincided with the latest update, At the Wake of Spring, which introduced a new playable character Zhuang Fangyi, story content and new resources.
Zhuang Fangyi is a six-star character, the game’s highest rarity. Each pull on the gacha yields just a 0.8% chance of obtaining a six-star character, but players can guarantee obtaining her if they have the resources for 120 gacha pulls by May 22nd.
Arknights: Endfield also introduced a free month-long rewards pass with the latest update, offering players daily items as a login reward. This is in addition to a pre-established paid monthly pass. Improvements to gameplay and combat have also been implemented.
