Arknights Franchise Reveals Dashing Visuals for ‘Prelude to Dawn’
‘Arknights: Prelude to Dawn’ has stirred up a huge wave of excitement among gamer otakus. Keeping the franchise’s popularity in mind, the anime adaptation will be one of the biggest releases this year.
Although the franchise has been giving out constant details, they have been quite secretive about it to keep up the suspense. This has made the fans anxious and agitated but also super thrilled about the release.
Considering how the release is closer now, the franchise has let loose and given us seven visuals for ‘Arknights: Prelude to Dawn’ all at once.
The key visuals feature different groups of characters with different backgrounds, tones, and settings. For instance, the first one features Doctor, the mysterious masked strategist of Rhodes Island, in an apocalyptic environment.
After that, the second visual features the Rhodes Island operators Ace, Guard, and Medic followed by Texas and Exusiai in the third visual. The latter two are couriers for hire from Penguin Logistics.
Then we have the fourth visual consisting of the politician Wei Yenwu, with the policemen Ch’en and Hoshiguma from Lungmen.
Visual #5 features two crucial characters: Rhodes Island medical head Kal’tsit and the top executive Amiya. Fans know how vital Amiya is, and even non-fans are aware that she’s often portrayed as the face of Arknights.
The sixth visual features Rhodes Island instructor Dobermann and the operator Nearl. Last but not least, the seventh one consists of Liskarm and Franka, military contractors from the Blacksteel company.
Moreover, the franchise has also revealed three new cast members that will be joining the team:
| Character | Cast | Other Works |
| Wei Yenwu | Kōichi Yamadera | Spike Spiegel (Cowboy Bebop) |
| Medic | Momo Asakura | Nagisa Kashiwagi (Kaguya-sama: Love is War) |
| Guard | Chiaki Kobayashi | Louis James Moriarty (Moriarty the Patriot) |
These three characters haven’t been voiced previously in the game, so it will be a new experience for both the gamer fans and the new ones.
