Infold Games recently confirmed that Valko, the character who was set to become the sixth love interest in Love and Deepspace, will not be added to the game. The company said the decision is permanent, and Caleb will remain the final new bachelor added to the roster going forward. Alongside the announcement, data from AppMagic gives a look at how Love and Deepspace has been performing in China, one of its key markets, between January and July 2026.

Revenue peaked at the start of that window in January before dropping through February, then gradually climbed back up over the following months. April 2026 revenue specifically came in at $9,936,640 for the China market across all stores. Downloads followed a similar pattern, starting high in January, falling to their lowest point around March and April, then recovering into a second peak around May and June. The most recent portion of the chart, covering early July, is marked as incomplete since the month is still in progress.
Over the full January to July 2026 stretch, the game recorded 1,807,485 downloads and $61,614,862 in revenue in China, with a cumulative revenue per download of $34.97 and a featuring score of 1,351,549.
The announcement follows weeks of backlash from parts of the fanbase, especially in Asia, after Valko was first revealed as a werewolf EonCore executive joining the cast. Some players responded with boycotts, protests, and harassment directed at the company. With Valko’s cancellation now official and no further love interests planned, Love and Deepspace is heading into a period centered on its existing five love interests and the main story, rather than growing the roster any further.
