Love and Deepspace just kicked off a crossover with Blade Runner 2049, and it’s live right now through November 5, 2026. The event, called “Rendered Real,” dropped on October 19 and brings a cinematic trailer, a new story chapter, and a rewards track built around one very specific scene from the movie.
If you play Infold Games’ hit otome RPG and you’ve never seen Blade Runner 2049, that’s fine, you don’t need the backstory to get the rewards. But knowing what the collab is referencing makes the whole thing land a lot better.
What happened
Infold announced the Blade Runner 2049 tie-in for Love and Deepspace on October 19, 2026, and the event runs for a little over two weeks, ending November 5. “Rendered Real” isn’t just a cosmetic skin drop, it’s a full mini-event: there’s a promotional video, a short new story beat woven into the game, and a check-in rewards system that asks players to log in on ten separate days (not necessarily in a row) to unlock everything.
The headline reward is the “At Your Touch” duo photo pose, which recreates the holographic Joi-and-K moment from the film, down to the lighting. Alongside that you get a “Manifest” portrait background, an exclusive sticker, and the usual pile of in-game materials. None of it is a paid gacha banner as far as the announcement goes, it’s a login/attendance reward structure, which is a nicer deal than most collabs in this genre.
Why it matters
Love and Deepspace has built a reputation for doing crossovers that actually feel curated rather than slapped on, and partnering with a film as visually specific as Blade Runner 2049 is a bigger swing than the usual anime tie-in. It also landed at an interesting moment: a chunk of the Western fanbase has been using the announcement thread to campaign for the return of Valko, a sixth love interest Infold reportedly cancelled before launch. That’s not officially connected to this event, but it tells you the community is paying close attention to every move Infold makes right now.
For a game this size, a well-received collab is also a signal worth watching if you cover or play gacha/otome titles broadly, since it tends to set the tone for what other studios in the space try to copy next.
How to get the rewards
- Open Love and Deepspace and look for the “Rendered Real” event banner on the home screen.
- Check in once per day, any day works, you don’t need to log in consecutively to hit all ten check-ins before November 5.
- Play through the short new story segment tied to the event to unlock the narrative content.
- Claim the “At Your Touch” duo pose, the “Manifest” background, the sticker, and materials as you hit each check-in milestone.
- Don’t wait until the last few days, since ten check-ins across roughly 18 days leaves very little buffer if you forget a day or two.
The event is live in the main version of Love and Deepspace on mobile; there’s no separate download or patch required, it’s server-side content.
FAQ
Do I need to have seen Blade Runner 2049 to enjoy this event?
No. The references will land better if you have, but the story content, rewards, and check-in system all work fine without any movie knowledge.
Is the Blade Runner 2049 collab a paid event?
Based on the official rollout, the core rewards come from a login/check-in track rather than a paid banner, though Love and Deepspace typically sells cosmetic bundles alongside collab events too, so keep an eye on the shop during the window.
What do you think of the Blade Runner 2049 crossover, big swing or a little too niche for the audience? Let us know in the comments.
