Welcome to Arknights: A New Side Story – "Silver Lake Train" has arrived!
The world has changed. Once lush lands now scarred by the Catastrophe, where nature’s wrath birthed the mysterious Originium—a mineral rich in energy, yet equally dangerous in its influence. As humanity rebuilt, the power of Originium fueled progress… but also awakened dark forces.
Now, from the ruins of forgotten towns to the iron rails of abandoned railways, a new threat stirs.
🚂 The Silver Lake Train – A Story of Loss, Memory, and Resolve
In a forgotten region far from the bustling city of New Eridanus, the once-silent Silver Lake Train has reawakened—its rusted tracks glowing with faint Originium pulses, its carriages filled not with passengers, but with echoes of the past.
A mysterious signal has drawn your attention. Amiya, leader of Rhodes Island, has dispatched a covert team to investigate. What they discover will challenge everything they know about the Infected, the Reunion movement, and the nature of humanity’s survival.
Will you uncover the truth behind the train’s haunting journey?
Can you save those still trapped in its endless loop?
And what lies beyond the final station—where time itself seems to unravel?
