A pity, truly. Hope you guys can get your refunds.
Years of watching esports taught me one thing, setting an event in USA is abhorrent nightmare due to visas, it's just a gamble for players and teams bruh.
It has been like that for so many years. Trump surely didn't help lmao
It is with heavy hearts that we must announce the cancellation of the Umamusume: Pretty Derby – 7th EVENT: THE STAGE in LOS ANGELES concerts planned for Oct 22–23, 2026.
Although we have coordinated repeatedly with all parties concerned and explored every possible option in our efforts to make this event happen, we were unable to obtain the necessary visas for entry into the US, so we have come to the painful conclusion that holding the concerts is no longer possible.
To all the Trainers who were eagerly looking forward to the show, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and concern this causes, and for announcing this so close to the event date.
Due to this cancellation, we will process refunds for the following:
・On-site viewing tickets
・Streaming tickets
In addition, we are looking into possible responses to Trainers who were planning to attend the concert in person. This will take some time, so we ask for your patience. Details will be announced on the 7th EVENT WORLD TOUR official website.
Once again, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this causes to all the Trainers who were eagerly looking forward to the concerts, as well as to the Umamusume cast, partner company staff, and everyone involved who put tremendous effort into making this event happen.
Please see the link below for the official notice:

Endfield is OG Arknights greatest marketing campaign, especially in the Global coz Yostar does jack shit on it.
People may have different opinion on Endfield but it's success gives access to people to also love OG Arknights too.
saw an Endfield player go "idk what rhodes island is" and i was suddenly forced to remember that there's a whole different world out there that hasn't played super ultra absolute peak, i.e. Arknights
@PseudoMonious Do you still think HG is a small company lmao. Of they course would sign on this, how could they say no to freaking Bilibili despite how they felt about it.
Bilibili also publish OG Arknights in CN btw. They might as well do it to OG too lmao.
@NoNameCoolName@kukkikaze Nah other gachas deserve their flak on copying Integrated Strategies coz it's still better than them. A lot of these roguelike are freaking ass also some of it are weekly bullshit.
Also why is still no Hades like roguelike gamemode despite many action gachas coming out lol.
@kukkikaze It's just a poorly executed gambling event that Genshin. Also Duel Channel might be the most popular or best but they didn't create this genre.
Some Arknights fans still think that Bilibili one sidedly did this event lmao. Of course Hypergryph sign on this. Despite how they think about it, as business they need that platform for promotion saying NO it they might as well announce go EOS.
FINAL UPDATE TO QUELL THE MISINFO:︀︀︀︀
︀︀︀︀
︀︀︀︀‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️tl;dr ︀︀︀︀‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
THIS IS BILIBILI'S AI CREATOR PROGRAM RUNNING AN AI VIDEO CONTEST USING THE LATEST ENDFIELD UPDATE TO PROMOTE THEIR SELF-MADE INHOUSE AI TOOL, UPDREAM
THE MOST HG/GL DID IN THIS WAS JUST SIGN OFF SINCE BILIBILI IS A CO-PUBLISHER OF ENDFIELD︀︀︀︀
HG IS NOT MAKING AN AI CONTENT CREATOR PROGRAM︀︀
︀︀︀︀︀︀‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
After talking to CN people, personally going to the site pages and translating them, on top of having more info shared by people linking me CN tweets breaking down the pages: the whole thing is a Bilibili AI Creation Contest Event independently pushed by Bilibili to promote their latest AI tool, Updream, with a contest surrounding the latest patch of Endfield.
All the rewards are Bilibili currency (Shells and Updream points), not in-game items.
HG HAS NOT PROMOTED THE CONTEST ON THEIR OFFICIAL PAGE, THEIR LAST POST IS A POST PROMOTING SI. UPDREAM OFFICIAL IS THE ONE PROMOTING THE CONTEST WITH THEIR POST.
IT IS MISINFORMATION TO SAY THAT HG/GL IS THE ONE WHO PROMOTED THE CONTEST WHEN THEY JUST CO-SIGNED IT AT THE MINIMUM SINCE BILIBILI IS A COPUBLISHER FOR ENDFIELD
AK CN Shitposting has deleted their tweet after being notified that it is misinformation that HG/GL is opening an AI Content Creator program when in fact it is a contest pushed by BIlibili to promote their AI tool APP.
Link to the promo site and translations will be supplied below.
@Kuroi_sama@return199993380@AK_CN_Shitpost Of course they have signed on it. As a business this program will greatly help them. Doesn't matter how they felt about it saying no to a influencial institution like Bilibili is bad for them might as well go EOS.
@Roriipupper As if they will address this to us lol. I will be really surprised if they do.
In Global Arknights IP is not mainstream. They will just let this issue pass and people will forget it anyway.
@krait22@lens_the_martyr Bilibili is literally the Youtube of China and they also have a dedicated server for their games. So think about it carefully, as a business if they say no.
it seems to be bilibili's creator program though, independent of endfield's since bilibili is also a co-publisher of endfield
"updream是哔哩哔哩自研的AI视频创作产品,该产品面向B站广大UP主设计,"
@AK_CN_Shitpost The moment HG uses AI in their games AK or Endfield, I’m uninstalling both. Stop treating them as if they were created by different companies; it’s the same team, the same artists, etc. I hope it doesn’t go beyond content creation.
@AK_CN_Shitpost If this works for Endfield do you Elitist think this wont affect OG Arknights lmao. Yeah you can keep barking until when OG Arknights joins this too.
For people thinking about boycott you have very tough road ahead of you.
As an IP Arknights is not a mainstream in the Global space. If gacha revenue is to be believed, CN earns like 60-70% for Arknights lol.
Maybe if JP joins too, but then it might still not work.
Did OG Arknights Elitist think this won't affect their game lmao. If this project is a success (which it might be) they will do it on both too lol. Heck i will even say that other gachas will do it too.
@Arsene_hobby@AK_CN_Shitpost Did you seriously think that Jie is not gonna be playable? They already done it with Kaltsit. So they are gonna a way to revive Jie too.
@Aren_122@_Quibs_@Silver4x_KP@zineYo1 I mean he ain't wrong about his worries. Anything can happend within six months man ANYTHING.
Even adding a library to the sanctions lol
How did Endfield have QOL that OG Arknights really need man.
Base Auto-rotation, you can even set timer/shifts as you like. Why is this not on OG AK bruh. Is the base still in the freaking beta lmao
