Papergames has withdrawn from Bilibili World 2026 after the Chinese Ministry of Public Security condemned the planned werewolf character Valko in Love and Deepspace.
Papergames announced the pullout earlier this week. The developer stated that Love and Deepspace “has garnered widespread attention from all sectors of society, causing significant distress to all players and creating a negative impact.”
The Ministry of Public Security posted a statement referencing Valko’s marketing material. It noted that the character’s described home intrusion “if a game packages such behavior as a ‘fun interaction,’ it may be suspected of promoting and glorifying illegal and criminal methods.”
The ministry added that such content “disregards public order and morality, crosses legal boundaries, and may ultimately endanger public safety.” It warned that productions blurring illegality “will ultimately be subject to legal sanctions and public resistance.”
