(Edited 10/16/2026 to add Christmas event on the list.)
With the reveal show for upcoming content just a week away, it’s time to look over what may be shown off in the livestream. The following speculations are based off of last year’s October livestream and what we already know from official reveals earlier this year.
- “Divergence” or The Game 0 Story
Trailer for “Divergence” revealed back during the COA IX Grand Finals livestream.
The side story following the manor game involving “Psychologist,” Patient, The Mind’s Eye, and Sculptor will be dropping more than likely next month. This means we will receive more information on what is coming with the story similar to “Cage of Yesteryear’s” event last year.
If “Divergence” is like the “Closing Night,” the first ever side story to come to the game, then we can expect new portraits, portrait frame, emotes, music, and more. There most likely will be a new A-costume or two for the characters involved in the story along with an essence attached to the newest character yet to be revealed for the game.
- New Essences
“Queen Bee’s” essence which was the first essence revealed in last October’s livestream.
Speaking of Game 0, as started before, a new character will be revealed and this means they will receive an essence S-costume. Besides their essence, we can expect at least one more essence to be revealed in the livestream as well.
- New Character
Last year, only “Queen Bee” was revealed as a new character coming to the game. Thus, we can expect that the Game 0 character who many suspect to be Roy will be the only new character to be revealed in the upcoming livestream.
- New Game Mode
Last year, the 1 vs. 1 game mode was revealed.
Usually a new game mode is implemented in the game each year. It is likely we could see this happen again, but I also believe they may focus on Cryptic Notes this year. Considering the fact that Season 0 of Cryptic Notes will be ending on October 29th, just days after the livestream, it is plausible more information on the upcoming Season 1 will be announced.
- Ranked Treasures and Logic Path Costume
The rank treasure revealed last year. This official poster mistakenly switched “Psychologist’s” accessory with Hell Ember’s.
While who will receive the rank treasure accessories next season is up in the air, the Logic Path costume could be guessed. Given the fact that a few years ago, the developers stated in an official Q&A that “Psychologist” and Patient could receive Logic Path costumes together, next season feels quite appropriate for it. Logic Path costumes are often tied to an essence during the season, and given that the new Game 0 character will receive an essence, it stands to reason that “Psychologist” and Patient could be the Logic Path costumes.
However, they both have already received A-costumes in “Dentist’s” essence earlier this year. In addition, some speculate Clerk will receive the next Logic Path costume as she appeared in both First Officer and Embalmer’s gameplay videos for their Logic Path costumes. So we have to wait and see what is revealed next week.
- Upcoming Costumes
The above costumes were revealed in last year’s livestream so we can expect additions to the following costume series:
- Esports
- Whimsy
- ONCE
It’s possible they will also reveal costumes for other series like ART, a series that hasn’t seen an addition for it since April of this year.
Truth and Inference:
Naiad’s Truth and Inference costume revealed in last year’s livestream.
Another Truth and Inference costume will be revealed for another character along with their offline box for purchase. Naiad’s costume will most likely be announced to be purchasable in-game on a specific yet to be revealed date.
Deduction Star:
The Deduction Star costumes for the above winners will be revealed in next week’s livestream as well. Nymph costumes will be revealed in December’s livestream if last year is any indication.
Charity Project:
The long-awaited charity project costume for Meteorologist will be revealed in next week’s livestream as well. The above image is not indicative of the costume she’ll receive as every charity event costume is an A-tier.
New Crossovers:
The second part to the Conan Doyle Estate crossover was revealed in last year’s livestream.
While we don’t know exactly what will be announced next week in terms of crossovers, we can make some guesses. In an official developer Q&A from earlier this year, they confirmed an crossover involving Gardener and Photographer will be coming back. This could mean either The Promised Neverland or the Sanrio crossover is coming back. Considering we recently had the former last year, Sanrio seems the most likely candidate.
Additionally, many IDV players have been wishing for a Madoka Magica crossover for a long time now and there have been rumors about the crossover coming since last year or so. Those who wish for it can only hope it will finally be announced in next week’s livestream.
- Christmas Details
Soul Weaver’s Christmas costume revealed in last year’s livestream.
Christmas event details will also be dropped during this month’s livestream with costumes and the story being revealed. We can expect one A-costume and free event B-costumes along with other goodies.
And that’s all. When the livestream drops next week on Friday, October 23rd, I will write up another post on what was revealed. Stay tuned for that!
