The Limbus Company August 20 update adds the three-star Cinq East Section 3 Hong Lu Identity after a two-hour maintenance window. Project Moon schedules downtime from 10:00 to 12:00 Korea Standard Time.

Limbus Company: confirmed details

The Hong Lu Target Extraction runs through September 3 at 10:00 KST. A Faust Target Extraction returns alongside it, while Callisto and Albina join as an extractable announcer. The Reflectrial Chachihu content and a daily check-in event also begin August 20. Fourteen cumulative check-ins award a nominable announcer ticket and a Decaextraction Ticket.

What changes for players

A dedicated target banner improves the odds of the new Identity without guaranteeing it, while the announcer has its own extraction rules. The check-in structure rewards returning across multiple days instead of finishing one long session. Players should separate guaranteed event tickets from random banner results when planning resources.

Timing and wider context

The update also includes text corrections and visual fixes, plus 300 Lunacy compensation for eligible accounts. The article describes announced content before maintenance completes; the live client remains the final authority if the schedule changes.

The feature list and timing above reflect the developer’s announcement published on August 17, 2026. Future hotfixes can adjust balance or availability, so live values should be checked against the current client.
