Overview
- The developer issued a public apology and said it will cancel the planned new male lead known as Aoyin, admitting the team revealed the character before it was ready.
- The studio pledged it will not add any new male leads going forward and said it will focus on polishing stories and long-term support for the five existing protagonists.
- Core 6.0 updates such as the upgraded home system and live-photo features will still launch as planned and some items from a canceled event will be delivered to players by in-game mail.
- As short-term compensation, the studio will give players one daily “Deep Space Wish” voucher for 30 consecutive days starting from the announcement and will send selected event items by mail.
- The dispute grew out of player backlash to the new character's stylistic clash with the game's established cast and follows earlier controversies that had already strained player trust, a dynamic that could strengthen community influence over future content decisions.
