Hypergryph has launched its collaboration with the National Library of China on the game's mainland Chinese server, bringing limited-time rewards, crossover outfits, and themed cosmetics. The October 16 update also opens the first content expansion for *Integrated Strategies: The Black Flowing Sea of the Drowned*, alongside the second part of the *Yesterday's Sea* SideStory. There's plenty happening at once, but the important distinction is that these are Chinese-server updates. Hypergryph has not established equivalent global release dates for this content. ## Arknights' National Library Collaboration Offers Free Furniture The collaboration, titled 「恒远津梁」 (*Hengyuan Jinliang*), began on October 16 and runs through October 30 at 03:59 on the Chinese server's event clock. Unlike events that require players to grind through combat stages, its free participation reward is straightforward. Players who accumulate three days of event check-ins can obtain a reading-themed furniture item called 「绒毛读书伴侣」, which translates roughly to *Fluffy Reading Companion*. The event also includes a limited-time bundle featuring 800 Orundum and three profile icons. Their Chinese names reference cultural and historical themes, fitting the collaboration's literary focus. Players interested in the free furniture should pay particular attention to the October 30 deadline. The associated shop content remains available for longer. ## Three New Crossover Outfits Arrive ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/eb/c3/ebc34dba-226d-448a-8bd7-25a7ee135adf/content/images/2026/10/Three-crossover-outfits.jpeg) The National Library collaboration introduces three outfits in the game's CROSSOVER collection. The featured operators are: - Shu, receiving 「源远流长」. - 烛煌, receiving 「夜行烛火」. - Swire the Elegant Wit, receiving 「盛世之象」. The outfits are available from October 16 through November 6 at 03:59, according to Hypergryph's official event announcement. One restriction is worth noting: these collaboration outfits cannot be redeemed using Outfit Selection Vouchers. Players who want them will need to use the applicable purchase method in the Chinese server's outfit shop. The event's limited-time bundles and cosmetics are separate from the free three-day check-in reward. ## Integrated Strategies Receives Its First Content Expansion ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/eb/c3/ebc34dba-226d-448a-8bd7-25a7ee135adf/content/images/2026/10/Integrated-Strategies-expansion.jpeg) The October 16 update also expands *Integrated Strategies: The Black Flowing Sea of the Drowned* (「沉沦者的黑流树海」). For players who spend their time experimenting with squads and tackling roguelike runs, this may be the update's biggest gameplay addition. Hypergryph's earlier developer communication outlined several features planned for the first expansion, including a new ending, additional stages, new squads, confidentiality levels, and Life Game nodes. The October 16 update notice confirms that the expansion has opened. These additions extend the mode's replayability by introducing more possible encounters and routes through its existing structure. The announcement does not provide a complete English-language breakdown of every new mechanic, so players looking for specific unlock requirements should consult the Chinese in-game information. ## Yesterday's Sea SideStory Continues The same update opens the second section of the *Yesterday's Sea* (「昨日海」) SideStory. The event began with the October 9 version update, and the new section makes additional stages available. Hypergryph's October 16 maintenance notice also lists a series of bug fixes, including corrections to certain Integrated Strategies squad effects, operator skill behavior, and a PC issue that could cause the mouse pointer to disappear. Players who had created accounts before the October 16 maintenance window are eligible for 200 Orundum in maintenance compensation, according to the notice. ## Arknights China Event Dates and Deadlines | Event | Dates | | ------------------------------------ | --------------------------- | | National Library check-in event | Oct. 16–30, 2026 | | Collaboration outfits and bundles | Oct. 16–Nov. 6, 2026 | | Returning outfit collections | Oct. 24–Nov. 21, 2026 | | Graystone Theater Annihilation stage | Oct. 26, 2026–Jan. 25, 2027 | Dates follow the official Chinese-server notices. Listed events generally close at 03:59 on their final day; check the in-game schedule for exact timing. The most important dates are October 30 for the National Library check-in event and November 6 for the collaboration outfits and associated bundles. Hypergryph has also scheduled several other activities beyond this collaboration, including additional returning outfits and a new Annihilation stage later in October. For now, international players should treat these announcements as a look at what's happening on the mainland Chinese server rather than confirmation of an upcoming global schedule. The combination of a cultural collaboration, free cosmetics, additional story stages, and an expanded roguelike mode gives Chinese-server players several reasons to return to Rhodes Island this month.
