Love and Deepspace Anime Expo 2026 Activities Updated
Love and Deepspace has changed its Anime Expo 2026 on-site plans following the cancellation of Valko’s development. The event will now focus on the game’s five existing love interests: Xavier, Zayne, Rafayel, Sylus, and Caleb.
The updated Anime Expo 2026 plans will still include interactive activities, check-in activities, the 2026 Giveaway Pack, merchandise sales, and other on-site experiences. Players who had already secured places in Valko’s Interactive Sessions will not lose their eligibility and will receive updated participation information by email.
The development team shared these changes in an official notice after announcing wider adjustments to Love and Deepspace’s future content plans. The Anime Expo update explains how those changes affect players already registered for Valko-related activities.
What Is Changing at Anime Expo 2026?
Anime Expo 2026 will now center its on-site activities around the five existing Love and Deepspace love interests. The revised lineup features Xavier, Zayne, Rafayel, Sylus, and Caleb rather than introducing Valko-focused activities as originally planned.
The announcement does not say that the entire Love and Deepspace presence at Anime Expo 2026 has been canceled. Instead, the event activities are being adjusted to reflect the game’s updated character plans.
Visitors can still expect several types of activities, including interactive experiences, check-in opportunities, giveaway distribution, and merchandise sales.
Updated Anime Expo Activity Lineup
The main changes can be summarized as follows:
| Element | Original Arrangement | Updated Arrangement |
|---|---|---|
| Character Focus | Included Valko-related activities | Xavier, Zayne, Rafayel, Sylus, and Caleb |
| Interactive Activities | Planned on-site experiences | Continue with updated character focus |
| Check-In Activities | Planned | Continue |
| 2026 Giveaway Pack | Planned distribution | Distribution remains part of the event |
| Merchandise Sales | Planned | Continue |
| Valko Interactive Sessions | Reserved for eligible participants | Existing participants retain eligibility, with updated arrangements |
The team has not provided every interaction format in the announcement. Players attending the event should therefore refer to the official on-site guidance for the latest participation rules and activity procedures.
Five Love and Deepspace Characters Will Represent the Updated Event
The revised event activities will focus on Xavier, Zayne, Rafayel, Sylus, and Caleb. These are the five existing love interests that the development team has identified as the long-term focus of Love and Deepspace.
The change follows the team’s separate announcement that Valko’s launch and further development have been canceled. The development team also said it will not introduce additional love interests in future content plans.
This means the Anime Expo adjustment is directly tied to the broader shift in the game’s character direction.
Character Focus at Anime Expo 2026
| Love Interest | Role in Updated Anime Expo Plans |
|---|---|
| Xavier | Included among the five featured love interests |
| Zayne | Included among the five featured love interests |
| Rafayel | Included among the five featured love interests |
| Sylus | Included among the five featured love interests |
| Caleb | Included among the five featured love interests |
| Valko | No longer part of the new character-focused event arrangement |
The notice does not provide separate schedules for each character. It also does not state which specific activities will be assigned to Xavier, Zayne, Rafayel, Sylus, or Caleb.
For that reason, attendees should not assume that every character will appear in every activity. Official on-site guidance remains the best source for individual activity formats and participation instructions.
Valko Interactive Session Participants Can Still Attend
Players who already secured a place in Valko’s Interactive Sessions will remain eligible to participate. The development team confirmed that existing session reservations will not be discarded simply because the character plans have changed.
Instead, the team will provide updated session arrangements and participation details through the email address used during registration.
This is particularly important for attendees who already received a confirmation for a Valko Interactive Session. They should keep their original confirmation information and monitor the email account associated with their registration.
What Existing Session Participants Should Do
Registered participants should wait for the updated email before attending their revised session. The team said they would send new arrangements and participation information to registered email addresses as soon as possible.
Players should take the following steps:
Check the email account you used to secure the Valko Interactive Session.
Look for an updated message from the Love and Deepspace team.
Keep the original session confirmation email available.
Follow the new participation instructions provided in the updated message.
Contact the official support address if you don't receive the updated information or if there is a problem with the new arrangement.
The announcement does not state that participants need to register for an entirely new session. Instead, it says that existing participants will retain their eligibility while the arrangements are updated.
What If You Do Not Receive the Updated Email?
Participants who do not receive the new session information should contact the Love and Deepspace team at loveanddeepspace-en@infoldgames.com. The team has specifically requested information to verify the affected session.
When contacting the team, players should include:
A copy of their original Valko Interactive Session confirmation email
Their in-game UID
Details about the issue with their updated session information
Providing the confirmation email and UID allows the team to check the relevant registration and player information before responding.
Players should avoid sending unrelated personal information. The official notice only asks for the session confirmation and in-game UID as part of the verification process.
2026 Giveaway Pack and Merchandise Sales Remain Part of the Event
The revised Anime Expo 2026 plans still include distributing the 2026 Giveaway Pack and selling merchandise. The notice specifically lists both among the activities that will continue after the event arrangements are adjusted.
The announcement does not provide a complete item-by-item list of the Giveaway Pack contents. It also does not specify the individual merchandise products, prices, quantities, or purchase limits.
Fans should therefore check those details against the official Anime Expo on-site guidance when available.
For North American fans, official Love and Deepspace merchandise may also appear through licensed retail channels. Animon Life is one example of the type of retailer fans may encounter when looking for official character merchandise in the region. However, the Anime Expo Giveaway Pack and on-site merchandise remain separate from normal retail availability.
What the Notice Confirms
The confirmed event elements are:
Interactive activities
Character check-in activities
2026 Giveaway Pack distribution
Merchandise sales
Other on-site Love and Deepspace activities
Updated arrangements for previously registered Valko Interactive Session participants
The notice does not confirm the complete merchandise catalog or Giveaway Pack contents, so those details should not be assumed from the announcement alone.
Why Were the Anime Expo Plans Changed?
The Anime Expo adjustments follow the decision to cancel Valko’s launch and future development. The development team had previously announced that Valko would no longer be introduced as a new love interest and that future development would focus on the five existing characters.
The Anime Expo notice applies that change directly to the event. Instead of continuing with Valko-centered on-site activities, the event will now feature Xavier, Zayne, Rafayel, Sylus, and Caleb.
The team also acknowledged that these changes could cause inconvenience for players who had already made plans around the original activities. That is why the notice specifically addresses people who had secured Valko Interactive Session spots.
What Anime Expo Attendees Should Watch For
The most important information will come through official on-site guidance and registration emails. The current announcement confirms the broad event changes but does not provide every operational detail.
Attendees should pay particular attention to:
Updated Interactive Session arrangements
Participation instructions
Check-in procedures
Giveaway Pack distribution details
Merchandise information
Character-specific activity formats
Any additional venue instructions
Players with existing Valko session reservations should especially monitor their registered email accounts. The development team said it will send updated information directly to those participants.
