Japanese cream puff chain Beard Papa's has partnered with “Arknights: Endfield,” new action role player game from Gryphline, to bring its characters to life in dessert form.

Beginning April 3, Beard Papa’s locations nationwide will celebrate the game launch with a lineup of exclusive, character-inspired cream puffs, collectible giveaways and immersive in-store experiences.

The chain has released four new cream puff flavors based on the game’s characters:   Rossi, which is a dark chocolate raspberry shell filled with vanilla custard; Perlica,  a blue cotton candy shell filled with vanilla custard; Tangtang, an Oreo crumble shell filled with cookies and cream filling; and Pogranichnik, a chocolate éclair shell with powdered sugar and vanilla custard.

The flavors are also available in sets that contain limited edition collectibles. The 4-Pack Endfield Expedition Set contains all four flavors along with a game code card, an exclusive character keychain and a sticker sheet. The 6-Pack Endfield Command Set contains one of each limited edition cream puff along with two original Beard Papa's cream puffs, as well as a game code card, character keychain, sticker sheet and a collectible character badge, which is only available in this set.

All items in the "Arknights: Endfield" sets contain original artwork created specifically for the collaboration.

Two select Beard Papa’s locations will transform its stores into an immersive fan experience with themed in-store visuals, digital menu integrations and music from the "Arknights: Endfield" soundtrack. Attendees will meet up with other fans of the game either at the brand’s Little Tokyo location in Los Angeles on April 18, or at the Katy, Texas, location on April 19.

Customers can also enter to win "Arknights: Endfield" merchandise and cream puffs here through May 12. Twenty winners will be selected at random to receive limited-edition themed merch, stickers, badge sets and keychains, among other prizes.
