The 9th Walpurgis Night is over. Its Extraction opened at 12:00 KST on July 9, 2026 and closed at 10:00 KST on July 23, exactly two weeks, and nothing has brought it back since. If you are here because you searched for it and found a banner you cannot pull on, that is why. Dawn Office Rep Gregor, Dawn Office Fixer Faust, the Solemn Lament E.G.O for Yi Sang and the Binah Announcer all left with it.
The useful question now is when the 10th arrives. Project Moon has not announced it. But nine of these have run, and the dates behind them are more regular than the game's own "around every four months" wording suggests, regular enough to name the specific days it can land on.

Two things fall out of that column that we have not seen written down anywhere else.
Every Walpurgis Night has started on a Thursday. All nine, across three years. Every gap in the table is therefore a whole number of weeks, which is not a coincidence so much as a scheduling habit: Project Moon builds its update calendar in weeks and Walpurgis inherits it.
The gaps cluster hard at 16 to 18 weeks. Four of the last five sit in that band. The 27-week gap before the 6th is the one real outlier, and it came out of the long 2025 stretch where the studio was rebuilding its release cadence after Canto VII. The 11-week gap at the start is the other, from before the pattern settled. Drop those two and the mean gap is 17.2 weeks.
The three Thursdays the 10th can land on
Counting forward from July 9, 2026 at the gaps that have actually happened:
- 16 weeks: Thursday, October 29, 2026. The fast end. Matches the 3rd and the 7th.
- 17 weeks: Thursday, November 5, 2026. Matches the 8th, the most recent gap before this one.
- 18 weeks: Thursday, November 12, 2026. Matches the 4th, 5th and 9th, the single most common gap in the table.
Mark those three. Our best single guess is November 12, because 18 weeks is the modal gap and it is what the 9th itself ran on, but the honest version is that any of the three is live and the 27-week precedent means a slip past all of them is possible.
Treat this as a forecast built from the schedule, not news. NEEDS_REVIEW until Project Moon publishes a date, which historically arrives as a preview post two to four days before the event opens rather than weeks out. We will replace this section with the real date the moment it exists, and the Limbus banner schedule is where it will show up first.
What you can still get from the 9th
Nothing, right now, and that is the part worth understanding properly rather than panicking about.
Walpurgis Identities, E.G.O and Announcers are pullable only during their event window. When it closes they stop appearing in Extraction and cannot be crafted fresh. What they do not do is disappear permanently: past Walpurgis content returns during later Walpurgis Nights, both as Extraction rate-ups and through the Dispenser. So Dawn Office Gregor is not gone, he is queued behind the 10th.
If you already pulled during the 9th and banked dupe shards, those stay spendable in the Dispenser as normal. The loss on a missed Walpurgis is a delay of roughly four months, not a permanent hole in your account. That is a meaningfully softer penalty than most gacha limited banners, and it is the reason panic-pulling a Walpurgis unit you do not want is the actual mistake.
What the 9th actually shipped
For the record, since this page was originally written from the July 9 preview and the full picture only closed later:
Dawn Office Rep Gregor, a 000 (3-star) Slash Identity built on a Light of Daybreak stack counter. He accumulates stacks through his attack skills and spends them on his ultimate, which converts every coin to Unbreakable, hands the team Protection and turns the banked stacks into healing plus damage. His scaling keys off combined Burn and Tremor counts on the target, so he wants a status team rather than a clean-damage one.
Dawn Office Fixer Faust, a 000 (3-star) Slash Identity running a Fire Butterfly Coffin counter to a cap of 30. Surplus stacks convert to Burn at end of turn, and her unique trick is converting Tremor into a variant called Tremor - Scorch. Her ultimate, Eject - High Noon, unlocks at max stacks and scatters damage plus debuffs across multiple targets.
Solemn Lament (Yi Sang) was the event E.G.O, alongside two Announcers, Binah and Angela in her Library Director (Early Days) form.
Both Identities point at Burn and Tremor, which makes the 9th one of the more focused Walpurgis payloads: it was a status-team patch rather than a grab bag. If that is the engine you run, our status effects guide covers what each keyword actually does, and the status archetype tier list is the one to read before you commit shards to a team direction.
Where to spend the wait
Season 8 is where the game is now. Canto X, The Gaze Bearing opened on September 17 with two new 000 Identities on the season Extraction, and that banner runs to October 1, which means it will have closed well before any of the three Walpurgis Thursdays above. There is no conflict to budget around: bank through October and you will be ready either way.
If you are newer, the beginner guide covers the clash-and-Sin system and the Mirror Dungeon guide covers the mode where a strong new Identity pays for itself fastest. For where the roster stands today, the Limbus tier list is kept current with the season.
