Gryphline has released the second half of Arknights: Endfield Version 1.5, titled Dreamscape of Wind and Snow. This content update features the introduction of the Suiming zone and an event offering the 5-star operator Purrchena.
Why it matters
The update expands the tactical gameplay options for players with new mechanics and specific character rewards. It builds on the ongoing narrative and seasonal content framework established by the Echoes of War events.

Timeline

September 24, 2026: The Illusion season of Echoes of War began.
September 26, 2026: The second half of the Version 1.5 update was released.
Season Trajectory
This update extends the lifecycle of Arknights: Endfield by integrating new environmental challenges within the established seasonal roadmap. It follows the pattern set by the Echoes of War seasonal progression system to maintain player engagement through recurring events.
Players can secure the 5-star operator Purrchena solely through event missions, as the character is excluded from standard Headhunting banners. Completing the Suiming zone objectives provides the resources necessary to navigate the map and maximize event currency gains.
The takeaway
Players should prioritize the Suiming zone missions to claim limited-time rewards like Purrchena and the Dessert Moment sword before the event concludes. Engaging with the new time loop mechanics is essential for accessing the restricted areas within the updated map.
