This looks more like a reset than an erasure. 👀 A little hope after this morning’s panic... I know a lot of people were frightened when Valko’s old promotional material disappeared from X and YouTube today, but... The game update itself tells a very different story. JusticeForValko2026 compared the readable game data immediately before and after today’s update. Instead of seeing Valko’s internal material being broadly deleted, she found continued additions and changes across several parts of his character setup. In the changed records, Valko/XL had: 🔹️102 added, newly exposed, or changed readable references versus 🔸️20 actual reference removals 🌟That leaves him at a net increase of 80 readable references in this update. More importantly, those changes weren’t confined to one random leftover file. They included: 🔹 34 Legend Story configuration references 🔹 58 wardrobe, daily-screen, and recipe-screen references 🔹 3 new Home interaction references, including cooking-start and free-talk timing 🔹 4 date/card/presentation references His D_0047 animated-card family was also not deleted. One scene lost 18 ambience/window-rain effect references, but: 🔹 all 9 cutscene setup references remain 🔹 60 visual-effect references remain 🔹 132 D0047 labels remain overall So the change looks more like a specific scene-effect cleanup or adjustment than removal of the card family itself. And this is happening on the same day the old public Valko rollout is being removed. That combination is why I’m not reading today as “Valko is being erased.” It looks much more like: Old public rollout being cleaned up while his internal game framework continues to be maintained and changed. If Valko had simply been abandoned months ago, I would expect mostly static leftovers or gradual cleanup. Instead, today’s update touched his story setup, Home interactions, wardrobe/daily systems, card/date presentation, and existing animated-card structure. That is more activity than I would expect from a character whose only purpose was to sit dormant so the game wouldn’t crash. No, this does not give us a release date. But after the fear this morning, I think people deserve to know this: 🌟Today’s update does not look like a Valko deletion update. His internal footprint is still substantial. And it is still changing. So for now: Don’t panic. Watch closely. 🐺💚 #ValkoWasPromised #ValkoisLoved #BringBackValko
