Love and Deepspace August 30 Update: Zayne Birthday 5-Star Memory, Reruns and Rewards
Zayne’s birthday celebrations take over Love and Deepspace from August 31, with a new limited 5-Star Memory, a birthday event, and two returning Zayne Memories. The update was completed without maintenance at 18:40 on August 30, 2026 (UTC+8).
The main attraction is the [When Embers Rise] event, which increases the drop rate of Zayne’s limited 5-Star Memory [Zayne: When Embers Rise]. At the same time, players can take part in [Dawnlit Path] to collect birthday rewards, including an exclusive Memory, Daily Outfit, Photo Pose, and [Deepspace Wish: Limited ×20].
The update also brings back two previous Zayne 5-Star Memories through the [In Earnest Hope] rerun. The rerun features [Zayne: Eternal Attachment] and [Zayne: Dawnbreak Promise], giving players another opportunity to obtain these limited Memories during the birthday period.
Love and Deepspace Zayne Birthday Update: Quick Summary
The August 30 update is centered on three Zayne-related activities, all running during the same seven-day period. Players can pursue the new birthday Memory, complete birthday activities for free rewards, or use the rerun event to target older limited Memories.
| Event | Date and Time | Main Content | Key Rewards |
|---|---|---|---|
| When Embers Rise | Aug. 31, 05:00 – Sept. 7, 04:59 | Zayne limited 5-Star Memory Rate Up | [Zayne: When Embers Rise] |
| Dawnlit Path | Aug. 31, 05:00 – Sept. 7, 04:59 | Zayne birthday event | Birthday Memory, Daily Outfit, Photo Pose, Deepspace Wish: Limited ×20 |
| In Earnest Hope Rerun | Aug. 31, 05:00 – Sept. 7, 04:59 | Rerun Zayne 5-Star Memory Rate Up | [Zayne: Eternal Attachment], [Zayne: Dawnbreak Promise] |
All event times follow the game’s server time. Players should therefore check their in-game event timers when planning their final claims.
When Embers Rise Adds Zayne’s New Birthday 5-Star Memory
[Zayne: When Embers Rise] is the featured limited 5-Star Memory during Zayne’s 2026 birthday campaign. Its drop rate is significantly increased from 05:00 on August 31 until 04:59 on September 7.
The rate-up period gives players a dedicated window to pull for the new Memory. Because it is classified as a Limited 5-Star Memory, it is separate from Memories that are permanently available through the game’s standard systems.
The event also introduces new event-related packs. These packs are available through the in-game shop during the campaign, with their contents and pricing displayed directly on the shop page.
When Embers Rise Event Details
The key information for the new Memory can be found below:
Featured character: Zayne
Memory: [Zayne: When Embers Rise]
Rarity: 5-Star
Type: Limited Memory
Rate-Up begins: August 31 at 05:00
Rate-Up ends: September 7 at 04:59
Time zone: Server time
Additional content: Event-limited packs
Players interested in Zayne’s birthday content will find the new Memory alongside the separate birthday event rather than as part of a single combined reward track.
Dawnlit Path Is Zayne’s Main Birthday Event
[Dawnlit Path] runs from August 31 through September 7 and gives players a separate way to celebrate Zayne’s birthday while collecting exclusive rewards.
The event starts at 05:00 on August 31 and ends at 04:59 on September 7, using server time. Its reward lineup includes a birthday-exclusive Memory, Zayne’s Daily Outfit, a Photo Pose, and [Deepspace Wish: Limited ×20].
The event therefore offers more than just collectible currency. Players can also unlock character-focused cosmetics and a Memory tied specifically to the birthday celebration.
Birthday Rewards Available Through Dawnlit Path
The announced rewards include:
Zayne’s birthday-exclusive Memory
Zayne’s Daily Outfit
Photo Pose
Deepspace Wish: Limited ×20
Additional event rewards
The event also connects with the Wayside Stand, where older Zayne birthday content becomes available for exchange.
Zayne’s 2025 Birthday Items Return to Wayside Stand
Two pieces of Zayne’s 2025 birthday content become available through the Wayside Stand, giving players a chance to obtain older event items during the new birthday campaign.
The returning content includes the 3-Star Memory [Zayne: Crystal World] and the Daily Outfit [Zayne: Winter’s Letter]. Players can use the event item [Windowsill Signpost] to redeem rewards through the event’s exchange system.
This creates a useful distinction between the new 2026 birthday content and the returning 2025 items. The former is part of the current Dawnlit Path campaign, while the latter is presented as returning content available through Wayside Stand.
| Zayne Birthday Content | Rarity/Type | Availability | How It Is Obtained |
|---|---|---|---|
| [Zayne: When Embers Rise] | Limited 5-Star Memory | Aug. 31–Sept. 7 | Increased drop-rate event |
| Birthday-exclusive Memory | Birthday Memory | Aug. 31–Sept. 7 | Dawnlit Path |
| Zayne: Crystal World | 3-Star Memory | During birthday campaign | Wayside Stand |
| Zayne: Winter's Letter | Daily Outfit | During birthday campaign | Wayside Stand |
| Photo Pose | Cosmetic | During Dawnlit Path | Birthday event rewards |
| Deepspace Wish: Limited ×20 | Limited Wish item | During Dawnlit Path | Birthday event rewards |
For fans who collect character-related merchandise outside the game, birthday campaigns can also be useful indicators of which characters and designs are receiving new official releases. Animon Life follows these kinds of Love and Deepspace character and merchandise developments, including releases that may become relevant to North American collectors.
In Earnest Hope Rerun Brings Back Two Zayne 5-Star Memories.
The [In Earnest Hope] rerun gives players another opportunity to obtain two previously released Zayne limited 5-Star Memories.
The rerun rate-up period matches the new birthday Memory campaign: it begins at 05:00 on August 31 and ends at 04:59 on September 7, based on server time.
The two returning Memories are:
[Zayne: Eternal Attachment]
[Zayne: Dawnbreak Promise]
Both are identified as Rerun Limited 5-Star Memories in the official update announcement.
How the Zayne Memory Events Differ
The three Memories available through the August 31 rate-up campaigns belong to different event pools. [When Embers Rise] is the new birthday Memory, while [Eternal Attachment] and [Dawnbreak Promise] return through the separate [In Earnest Hope] rerun.
This means players should check the event banner carefully before spending resources. The new and rerun Memories are not presented as one single rate-up pool.
Event-limited packs will also be available for the rerun campaign. Check the in-game notice and shop for their specific contents, as the official announcement directs players there for full pack details.
August 30 Update Also Adds Interface Improvements
The update includes several technical improvements beyond Zayne’s birthday content. One of the most practical changes is a new filter for selecting app icons.
Players can now use a filter function under [Settings - Custom] when choosing an app icon. This makes it easier to navigate the available icon options.
The developers also fixed a specific combat display problem involving [Dustbreak], [Ardent Oath], and [Caleb: Netherlord]. The issue occurred under certain circumstances when Dustbreak was cast after Ardent Oath while fighting alongside Caleb: Netherlord.
Other fixes cover interface displays, text, and audio.
Bug Fixes and Optimizations
The August 30 update addresses the following areas:
Added a filter function for app icon selection under [Settings - Custom].
Fixed a display issue involving [Dustbreak] after [Ardent Oath] while fighting with [Caleb: Netherlord].
Fixed additional display problems and improved certain interface elements.
Corrected some text errors.
Fixed some audio errors.
More detailed technical information is available in the game’s System Notice > Optimization Notice section.
What Players Should Check During Zayne’s Birthday Week
Players have several overlapping activities to manage between August 31 and September 7. For anyone interested in the new Memory, the priority is the [When Embers Rise] rate-up, which features [Zayne: When Embers Rise].
The [Dawnlit Path] event should also be checked during the same period because its rewards are separate from the Memory rate-up. Completing its activities can provide the birthday-exclusive Memory, Daily Outfit, Photo Pose, and 20 Limited Deepspace Wishes.
Players interested in older Zayne content should also visit Wayside Stand and check the exchange options for [Zayne: Crystal World] and [Zayne: Winter’s Letter] using [Windowsill Signpost].
Finally, the [In Earnest Hope] rerun gives collectors another route to pursue [Zayne: Eternal Attachment] and [Zayne: Dawnbreak Promise].
