Love and Deepspace Zayne Birthday Event: When Embers Rise 5-Star Memory, Rewards and Dates

Aug 28

Written By Animon

Zayne’s 2026 birthday event, When Embers Rise, runs from August 31 at 05:00 to September 7 at 04:59 server time. The main highlight is the birthday-limited 5-Star Memory [Zayne: When Embers Rise], which receives a significantly increased drop rate during the event.

The birthday campaign also includes Dawnlit Path, free login rewards, a special video call, a Home interaction, and birthday-exclusive collectibles. Players can also revisit older Zayne birthday Memories through the separate In Earnest Hope rerun during the same period.

Zayne: When Embers Rise Is the New Birthday 5-Star Memory

[Zayne: When Embers Rise] is the central limited Memory of Zayne’s 2026 birthday celebration. It becomes available at 05:00 on August 31, 2026, with its increased-rate period ending at 04:59 on September 7, 2026, based on server time.

The Memory places Zayne and the protagonist in an emergency setting rather than a simple birthday celebration. Its story combines Zayne’s role as a doctor with the Hunter’s responsibilities, creating a setting built around rescue, protection, and getting people through a dangerous situation. The official birthday material describes the two characters moving through dust and haze while continuing their respective missions.

The emotional focus remains on Zayne’s relationship with the protagonist. The birthday Memory frames safety and reunion as more meaningful than a conventional present. Its official preview centers on Zayne providing first aid and comfort, followed by quieter moments between the two characters before they continue their journey.

When Does Zayne: When Embers Rise End?

The limited Memory event ends at 04:59 on September 7, 2026, server time. After that point, the Memory will not enter the permanent Xspace Echo Wish Pool and will not be obtainable through other methods, according to the event information.

That distinction matters for collectors because this is not simply a permanent Memory receiving a temporary rate increase. [Zayne: When Embers Rise] is specifically tied to the birthday event period.

Zayne Birthday Event Dates and Main Content

The full When Embers Rise birthday campaign runs for the same August 31–September 7 period, with several activities running alongside the featured Wish event. The event is officially listed as Dawnlit Path, while When Embers Rise is also used for the featured birthday Memory.

All listed times use server time. The additional birthday activities and rerun content were announced alongside the main Memory event.

Dawnlit Path Gives Players More Than the 5-Star Memory.

Dawnlit Path expands the birthday celebration with event tasks and collectible rewards. Players take part in a support mission connected to Zayne’s deployment to Coroe and can prepare birthday items for him, including a cotton plushie and cake.

The event is therefore more than a Wish banner. Its reward structure combines story content, cosmetic items, limited Wishes, and small interactive additions tied specifically to Zayne’s birthday.

Birthday Rewards Available Through the Event

The Wayside Stand uses [Windowsill Signpost] as the event currency for several birthday rewards. Players collect the item by completing event tasks and then exchange it for the listed rewards.

The event information also lists Deepspace Wish: Limited ×20 among the overall birthday rewards, while the Snowmelt Gift specifically provides 10 Limited Wishes through Mail during the event period.

Snowmelt Gift Includes Limited Wishes and Birthday Interactions

The Snowmelt Gift gives players free birthday rewards simply for logging in during the specified period. From 05:00 on August 31 to 04:59 on September 7, players can claim Deepspace Wish: Limited ×10 from in-game Mail.

The birthday experience then becomes more interactive in September. From 00:00 on September 5 until 04:59 on September 7, players can receive a special birthday video call from Zayne and unlock a special interaction in Home.

This gives the event a second phase around Zayne’s birthday, rather than putting every reward on opening day.

In Earnest Hope Rerun Runs Alongside the New Memory

Players who missed earlier Zayne birthday Memories also have a rerun option during the same seven-day period. The In Earnest Hope rerun increases the drop rates of [Zayne: Eternal Attachment] and [Zayne: Dawnbreak Promise] from August 31 at 05:00 to September 7 at 04:59 server time.

This creates two separate Memory opportunities during Zayne’s birthday campaign: When Embers Rise introduces the new 2026 birthday Memory, while In Earnest Hope brings back selected older birthday Memories.

Players should therefore check which Wish event they are entering before spending their available Wishes. The new birthday Memory and the rerun Memories are separate pieces of the overall celebration.

New Birthday Packs Are Also Available

The event introduces new packs connected to the birthday campaign. The Heartsmeet Pack and Everwarmth Pack series include Deepspace Wish: Limited and other materials, and the official event information states they are available in the Shop at special prices during the event.

The important distinction is that these packs are supplementary Shop content. The main birthday rewards are also tied to event participation, login rewards, and the Wish system, so the celebration isn't limited to Shop purchases.

For fans who also follow physical merchandise connected to Love and Deepspace, Animon Life can be kept separate from these in-game rewards and event mechanics, since the birthday Memory and digital event items are obtained in-game.

What Makes When Embers Rise Different From the Rerun Content?

When Embers Rise is the newly released 2026 birthday Memory, while Eternal Attachment and Dawnbreak Promise belong to the returning Memory pool, this distinction is useful when checking event banners because all three Memories appear as part of Zayne’s birthday period but are not the same event content.

The new Memory also has its own availability restriction. Once the When Embers Rise event ends, the 5-Star Memory will not be added to Xspace Echo according to the published event details.

For North American fans following related franchise releases outside the game, Animon Life also covers Love and Deepspace merchandise and related official releases as a separate category from these digital birthday rewards.
