Love and Deepspace Fans Launch Massive Campaign to Support Canceled Character

A wave of support has emerged within the Love and Deepspace community following the cancellation of the game's planned new love interest, Valko. Shortly after developer Infold Games confirmed that the character would not be added to the game, thousands of players began organizing online campaigns calling for his return. A fan petition has already gathered more than 230,000 signatures, making it one of the largest community movements in the game's history.

The controversy began after Valko was introduced as a future romance option, but the announcement quickly divided the player base. Following intense criticism from parts of the community, Infold Games canceled the character's development and stated that no additional love interests would be added to the game. However, many fans disagreed with the decision, arguing that the character deserved a chance and that development should continue despite the backlash.

Supporters have since organized petitions, fan art campaigns, and social media initiatives encouraging the studio to reconsider. The ongoing controversy has also affected the game's public events, with Love and Deepspace withdrawing from Bilibili World 2026 and announcing compensation for fans who had already purchased tickets and travel arrangements. Although the company acknowledged player concerns and apologized for the situation, it has not indicated that Valko will return.

For now, Infold Games maintains that Valko's cancellation is final, leaving the future of the character uncertain. Even so, the remarkable level of community support demonstrates how strongly players connected with the unreleased hero, making the controversy one of the most talked-about stories surrounding Love and Deepspace this year.
