About
An independent fan project, nothing more.
Endfield Codex is an independent, multilingual hub for Arknights: Endfield, built before the game launches. We do not have insider info, we are not affiliated with Hypergryph or Yostar, and everything you see here is a structural template + visual showcase. Real kit details, stats and tier rankings will go live once the game ships and we can verify against the live build.
CODEX VOL. I
What this site is right now
A fan-built visual codex in six languages. The character art is AI-generated fan concept art. The character names use those that have been revealed in official trailers. The kit / build / team / tier text on each operator page is fan speculation — clearly labeled as such — based on Arknights mainline conventions, not Endfield gameplay footage.
Who runs this
Two editors with 5+ years of Arknights / gacha-RPG strategy writing experience between them — see the Editorial team section below for handles, roles and bios. We are not a media company, we are not paid by anyone, and we do not claim industry connections. We built the structure now so that on launch day we can populate it quickly with real data, instead of starting from a blank page during the SEO sandbox window.
About the character art
Every character splash image on this site is AI-generated concept art. None of it is official Hypergryph artwork. Where it resembles a revealed operator, that is the intent — we are illustrating named, publicly-revealed characters for visual reference. If Hypergryph releases official art and asks us to remove a piece, we will.
Plan at launch
On Arknights: Endfield launch day, we replace the pre-launch placeholder content with verified data: real kit numbers, real tier rankings, real resource planner math, real gacha rates. The placeholder banners disappear. The visual structure stays.
Funding
Currently funded out of pocket. No ads. No paid placements. No affiliate links. No invite codes. If we ever monetize, it will be after launch and after content is real, and it will be a single dismissible banner — never pop-ups, paywalls, or "best operator" sponsored content.
Contact
One inbox handles everything: privacy@talos2codex.com. Subject-line prefixes help us sort — start with [General] for feedback or [Takedown] for rights-holder requests. Either gets a 48-hour response target. If Hypergryph or Yostar want a concept piece removed, send to that address with the [Takedown] prefix and the asset will come down — no argument, no delay. See Contact for the full guide and Disclaimer for the policy in writing.
