Arknights: Endfield
Arknights: Endfield, a highly anticipated sequel to the popular mobile tower defense game Arknights, is poised for a 2025 release.

Players assume the role of Endministrator, recruiting via a gacha system. Feedback suggests a generous F2P model. Gameplay includes monster combat, base building, and resource management for character/weapon upgrades. The story unfolds on Talos-II, where players combat the “Erosion” phenomenon.

Gacha recruitment of allies, including the original protagonist, is featured.

Ananta (formerly Project Mugen), a NetEase-published title, features urban exploration with parkour mechanics. Players are Infinite Triggers, supernatural investigators working with Espers. The game boasts unique city designs and a combat system utilizing supernatural abilities.
Azur Promilia
From Azur Lane developer Manjuu, Azur Promilia is an open-world fantasy RPG. Besides character collection, players engage in farming, mining, and collecting Kibo companions for combat, transportation, and resource gathering. The Starborn protagonist's quest focuses on uncovering mysteries and defeating evil forces. The game will likely feature only female playable characters.
Neverness to Everness
Neverness to Everness offers urban exploration with a mystical horror twist. Combat, similar to Genshin Impact and Wuthering Waves, uses a four-character team with one active unit. Exploration involves on-foot traversal and vehicle use (cars, motorcycles), with vehicle damage and repair mechanics.
This overview highlights some of the most promising gacha game releases of 2025. Remember to budget wisely.
