About
An independent fan project, nothing more.
Endfield Codex is an independent, multilingual hub for Arknights: Endfield. The game is now live. We do not have insider info, we are not affiliated with Hypergryph or Yostar, and much of what you see here is still a structural template + visual showcase. Real kit details, stats and tier rankings are going live as we verify them against the live build.
CODEX VOL. I
What this site is right now
Three pillars: a fan art gallery (continuously updated), an operator guide framework (kit / stats / tier rankings rolling out now that the game is live), and browser tools (gacha simulator, reroll calc). The character art is AI-assisted 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 ahead of launch so we could populate it quickly with real data once the game shipped, 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-assisted 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.
Rollout plan
Now that Arknights: Endfield is live, we are replacing the placeholder content with verified data: real kit numbers, real tier rankings, real resource planner math, real gacha rates. The placeholder banners come down as each section is confirmed. 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 only be once the content is real and verified, and it will be a single dismissible banner — never pop-ups, paywalls, or "best operator" sponsored content.
Contact
One inbox handles everything: [email protected]. 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.
