Summary
Infold Games scrapped Valko from Love and Deepspace Version 6.0 and said Caleb will be the last new bachelor, locking the game at five love interests.
Asian player backlash drove the reversal, with boycotts and harassment tied to complaints about neglected main-story updates, existing characters, free-to-play friendliness and disputed story references.
30 Deepspace Wishes will be sent over 30 days as compensation, while previously announced July 2026 features including Home 2.0 and the AR Photobooth will still launch.
Infold said it will refocus on the current cast, with Rafayel getting new Memories and a Companion in July, Caleb a main-story update in September and Sylus another in November.
Valko had been unveiled on June 22 as the sixth love interest for the July 9 update, but his release is now canceled even as his trailers remain online.
