A Letter to All Players
Dear Miss Hunters,
We sincerely apologize for reaching out once again. Over the past several days, our team has been closely following your conversations and feedback across all platforms. For the issues that have surfaced since the announcement of Version 6.0—and the frustration these have caused our community—we want to clearly state: we are sorry.
As we've expressed before, our vision for Love and Deepspace has always been to build a world that grows alongside you—one that offers a richer, deeper sense of companionship over time.
As various issues have arisen in recent days, we have moved quickly to make the necessary adjustments. After reflecting on recent events, we recognize that we moved forward with the introduction of Valko before we were truly ready. In doing so, we let down the players who have supported us from the start, and we also fell short of delivering the experience that players anticipating Valko deserved. After extensive internal discussions, we have decided to make the following changes:
1. We have decided to cancel both the launch and any further development of the new love interest. We also commit that no additional love interests will be introduced in future content plans.
2. All other in-game systems and features originally scheduled for Version 6.0—including Home 2.0 and AR Photobooth—as well as the limited-time Selectable 5-Star Memory Rate-Up Event, will proceed as planned. The outfits, photo poses and scenes, and the Nighthush Box (the second-anniversary 4-Star Memory Selection Crate) originally planned as rewards for the Hunt in Linkon event will instead be sent to all players for free via in-game mail after the version update.
3. Going forward, the entire team will focus on further developing the stories and long-term companionship experiences of our five existing love interests, while ensuring a stable pace of Main Story production and updates. Rafayel's new Solar-Slot Memories and Companion will be revealed in July. Farspace Colonel Caleb and Onychinus Leader Sylus will also return in their Main Story branches in September and November, respectively. By participating in the relevant events, players will be able to obtain the corresponding 5-Star Main Story Branch Memories for free. We will continue to devote all our care and effort to bringing you richer stories and game experiences.
4. Beginning today and continuing for 30 days, players who log in each day will receive one Deepspace Wish via in-game mail. Each mail will remain claimable for three days, for a total of 30 Deepspace Wishes. We hope this can offer some compensation for the disappointment and disruption caused by these adjustments.
To our community: once again, we apologize. Because of our actions, the joy you should have found in Linkon City became a source of distress, and the feelings you hold most dear were hurt. We are deeply sorry for the hurt and disappointment we have caused.
Love and Deepspace has always been about sharing love with you and protecting the love we all hold dear. That purpose has never wavered. Every step forward taken by the love interests and Linkon City—from its beginnings to where it stands today—has been shaped by your feedback, your passion, and your trust. It is your presence, care, and companionship that give this world its meaning, and us the strength and direction to move forward.
Over the past two and a half years, we've shared moments of joy and gratitude, as well as challenges and difficult times. Through every late night devoted to making this world better, it has been the moments you've shared in Linkon City—and the love and passion behind them—that have kept us going. We hope to continue walking this road with you, building a world where love can take root, grow, and bloom.
Going forward, we will work harder, listen more carefully, and do our utmost to honor the trust you have placed in us. We will stay focused on delivering the experience you deserve—one filled with love where every moment in Linkon City can once again become a joyful and treasured memory.
Linkon City will always be here for you.
Thank you—for your trust, your honest feedback and encouragement, and for being with us every step of the way. Your companionship has helped light the path ahead, and your faith in us has given meaning to every effort we make. Thank you for your love throughout this journey. It gives us the courage to keep moving forward. We hope to repay that love with even more and even better content in the days to come.
#LADSValkoCanceled
So… after the Valko cancellation news, I tried listing the possible positives and negatives.
Positive side:
- Infold can focus more on the current 5 LIs
- More banners for the existing 5 LIs
- Main story updates can stay centered around them
- CN side seems happy with this decision (?) so.. more money/followers (?)
Negative side:
- We lost a potential new love interest
- No extra Orbit to farm diamonds
- No additional cards to level up for extra diamond
- The schedule might become even more packed for solo main
- New Myth banners may get pushed forward sooner
- Their original plans are probably messed up now, which could mean delays, rushed content, or both (?)
Honestly… I’m seeing more negatives than positives here. So… BRING VALKO BACK? 😭
A lot of ppl have asked if I'll keep drawing Valko. I've thought abt it a lot, and I've decided I will!
It'll probably lean more toward my own headcanons
they literally pulled out a character that finally feels like a breathe of fresh air. when the game experience have becoming stale– for a long time im only logging in to clear dailies & weeklies, doing limited events that only got me excited for first few days & then returned to just a stale game experience.
& i thought Valko can help with that, the excitement of experiencing something new that would last longer than what limited events could do recently. he's literally a breathe of fresh air, his character isn't like others. he's unique, fun, exciting & its devastating that i could never experience it. we can't even say hi yet, and infold abandoned him. #bringbackvalko
事已至���海外的粉丝们能不能团结起来把让把🐺留在外服上线?真的没办法了这游戏公司连自己的角色都保护不了推出来当挡箭牌
Can fans overseas come together to keep Valko🐺 on the international servers? As a CN fan , I really don’t know what else to do😭

#LADSValkoCanceled
You know what, Infold? My friends who quit LADS because of storage issues were actually willing to come back just for Valko.
Even some of my real-life friends wanted to start playing because of him.
This is honestly so frustrating and heartbreaking 😭💔
#BRINGBACKVALKO#VALKO
I'm so heartbroken now, totally out of words. This is insane, to cancel the release of a LI so close to his debut.
I'm so sorry Valko, you deserved better and will always have a place in my heart.
Petition to Reconsider Valko's Cancellation
Dear Love and Deepspace Development Team,
@Love_Deepspace
First of all, thank you for listening to your community and for being willing to communicate with us so openly. We appreciate the effort and sincerity behind your letter.
However, we respectfully ask you to reconsider the decision to cancel Valko.
Many of us have been waiting for the sixth Love Interest for a very long time. From the very beginning of the game, there have been six Stellactrum colors, leading many players to believe that one day all six would become complete Love Interests. Valko's reveal wasn't just an announcement—it was the fulfillment of something we had been anticipating for a long time.
After seeing his trailer, learning about his personality, and catching glimpses of his role in the story, we became genuinely excited to meet him. We want to experience his journey, discover his story, and see how he grows alongside the other Love Interests. Please don't take that opportunity away from us.
We understand that some members of the community had concerns, and we respect that every player deserves to be heard. At the same time, we hope you will also hear the voices of those of us who were excited for Valko and wanted to welcome him into Linkon City.
We believe that the work already poured into his character by your writers, artists, animators, composers, voice actors, and developers deserves to be experienced rather than abandoned. Valko is more than just a new banner—he represents years of creativity, passion, and dedication from your team.
If necessary, we would rather wait longer for his release than lose him forever. Delaying his debut or adjusting future plans would be far easier to accept than cancelling him completely.
Please reconsider this decision. Let Valko's story be told. Let us meet the sixth Love Interest we have been waiting for, and allow Linkon City to continue growing with all of its planned characters.
Thank you for taking the time to read our message and for considering the feelings of every part of your community.
With respect,
The Players Who Still Believe in Valko
