Honestly, if you've been stuck in the Mirror Dungeon grind for long enough, you know the drill. Wednesday hits, and suddenly everyone is refreshing the Project Moon Twitter (or X, whatever) like their lives depend on it. We're currently staring down the Limbus Company update countdown for January 15, 2026, and the hype for Season 7 is reaching that weird, fever-pitch level of "I need more Enkephalin and I need it now."
It’s just how we live.
Project Moon doesn't always play by the rules of other gacha devs. They don't do massive three-month marketing cycles with flashy CGI trailers every time a new ID drops. Usually, it's just a teaser on Tuesday, a kit reveal on Monday, and then—boom—the servers go down on Thursday.

The January 15 Scheduled Update: What’s Actually Coming?
So, the big news. The next maintenance is locked in for January 15, 2026. If you're looking at the clock, you've basically got a handful of hours left to finish any lingering Canto IX: The Unsevering content before the meta shifts again.
People are mostly talking about the new Identity Target Extractions. There's a lot of chatter around the "Index Nursefather" or "Pinky" localization fix, which sounds minor but actually points to how deep the lore is getting this season. We're deep into the "Kumo no Ito" (Red Thread of Fate) theme, and the atmosphere is getting heavy.

If you’re new, here’s the basic rhythm:
- Teaser: Usually hits around Tuesday (KST).
- Kit Reveal: Monday before the update.
- Maintenance: Always starts Thursday at 10:00 KST (Wednesday night if you're in the US).
Why This Countdown Feels Different
Canto IX is proving to be a monster. We just saw a hotfix on January 8th because the Theater function was accidentally letting people see Chapter 9 stories before they even cleared the stages. It was a mess, but a "good" mess for lore hunters.

What most people get wrong about these countdowns is thinking the update is just about "new units." In Limbus, the update is often a massive balance sweep. We're expecting fixes for the "Retry Stage" bug and some skill animation corrections for Magic Bullet Fire.
Practical Steps Before the Timer Hits Zero
Don't be that Manager who loses their modules because they didn't check the clock.
- Burn your Enkephalin. If you're capped, you're losing value. Simple as.
- Check your Battle Pass. We're in Season 7. If you haven't hit level 50 for that "Takeoff Module," you're running out of time to stay ahead of the curve.
- Backup your account. Seriously. Every time there’s a major version update (like the jump to 1.95.0), someone on Reddit loses their guest account because the update glitched. Link it to Steam or Google.
The maintenance usually lasts about 3 to 4 hours, but let’s be real: Project Moon loves an "Extended Maintenance" apology. That just means more free Lunacy for us.
Log out at least 15 minutes before the scheduled 10:00 KST start time to avoid the "softlock" issue where the game tries to download resources while you're mid-combat. Once the servers are back, head straight to the Extraction tab—if the rumors about the next Dieci or Index IDs are true, the meta is about to get a lot more complicated.
