Every few months, Limbus Company runs the closest thing it has to a hard deadline. Project Moon has now revealed the 9th Walpurgis Night, previewed on July 9, and if you have played through one before you already know the tension: these Identities and E.G.O are the game's most time-limited pulls, and once the event closes, they are gone until the next one.
Why Walpurgis Night Is Different From a Normal Banner
Most of Limbus Company's roster is patient. New Identities join the general Extraction pool and stay reachable. Walpurgis Night breaks that pattern on purpose.
The Identities, E.G.O, and Announcers released for a Walpurgis Night are only obtainable during the event period, pulled through Extraction. When the event ends, that content becomes unobtainable through every means until the following Walpurgis Night comes back around, roughly every four months. Past Walpurgis content does eventually return, through both Extraction and the Dispenser during later events, but "eventually" can be a long wait if you miss the window.
That structure is what makes these banners feel heavier than a standard drop. You are not just deciding whether you like a unit. You are deciding whether you want to wait a third of a year for another shot.
What the Preview Confirms
The July 9 preview opened the reveal cycle for the 9th Walpurgis Night, headlined by a new Walpurgis Identity, Dawn Office Rep Gregor. Project Moon typically rolls these announcements out in stages, so treat the early preview as the first look rather than the full roster.
If the event follows the established Walpurgis template, expect it to bring:
- Two new Battle Announcers, the voice-and-flavor packs that narrate combat.
- A payload of either one E.G.O and two Identities, or two E.G.O and one Identity.
Until every card is officially shown, the smart move is to hold your reveal expectations to what Project Moon has actually confirmed and check the in-game preview for the complete lineup before you commit Lunacy.
How to Spend Without Regret
Walpurgis Night rewards preparation more than luck, because the pity-adjacent Extraction economy and the guaranteed-pull mechanics let a stocked account target what it wants. A few principles hold every time:
- Bank Lunacy and Extraction currency ahead of the window. The event is the worst time to be caught short. Walpurgis is exactly the banner you should have been saving for.
- Prioritize by your account's gaps, not by hype. A Walpurgis Identity that patches a weak damage type or a missing Sinner role is worth more to you than the flashiest reveal that overlaps with units you already run well.
- Value the E.G.O and Announcers correctly. Time-limited E.G.O can be genuine build-definers; Announcers are flavor. Do not spend a pull budget as if they weigh the same.
- Know your out. If you miss a unit, it is not gone forever, just gone for a while. That knowledge is the antidote to panic-pulling something you did not really want.
New to the Event? Start Here
If this is your first Walpurgis Night, do not treat it as your entry point to the game. Get comfortable with the core loop first: our Limbus Company beginners guide covers the clash-and-Sin system, and the Mirror Dungeon guide walks through the mode where a strong new Identity earns its keep fastest. For where the current roster stands, check our Limbus Company tier list, and if you want context on how Project Moon has been pacing its story drops, our Canto X and Gaze/Bearing recap has you covered.
Walpurgis Night is the one banner where "I'll get them later" carries a real cost. Plan your pulls before the reveal cycle finishes, and you spend it looking forward to the next one instead of chasing the last.
