Press release:
COLOGNE, Germany — Aug. 28, 2026 — GRYPHLINE’s Arknights: Endfield booth has been named the Best Booth (Consumer Award) winner at gamescom 2026. Voted on by the gamescom community, the award recognizes the show’s most impressive visitor-facing booth, taking into account its size, design, fan engagement and overall impression.

Spanning two side-by-side spaces in Hall 8.1, the booth translates core elements of Arknights: Endfield into a physical experience. Three large-scale boss installations and panoramic LED displays anchor the space, alongside playable Boss Challenges, a live speedrun competition, stage programming and an Automated Industry Complex-inspired reward conveyor. The win follows Arknights: Endfield receiving Pocket Gamer’s People’s Choice Award 2026 earlier this week, giving the game two community-driven honors during its launch year.

“The team put an enormous amount of thought into every part of this booth, but the most rewarding part has been watching people make it their own – challenging the bosses, comparing clear times, taking photos and staying for the stage,” said Lewis Hu, Global Marketing Manager. “To have the gamescom community recognize that work with Best Booth means a great deal to us. This belongs to everyone who designed, built and operated the space, and to the players who brought it to life.”

Visitors can experience the award-winning booth through Sunday, Aug. 30. Highlights include:
