Hethereau’s Anomaly Metro is running its next Special Route. “Beyond the Rails: Incandescent Circle” opens on August 27, 2026 at 05:00 (UTC+8) and closes on September 10, 2026 at 04:59 (UTC+8), taking over from the Waxing Circle route at the same turnover minute.
Key Details
| Event | Beyond the Rails: Incandescent Circle |
| Start | August 27, 2026 at 05:00 (UTC+8) |
| End | September 10, 2026 at 04:59 (UTC+8) |
| Rewards | Annulith, Fons, Train Logs |
| Requirement | Complete the main story quest “Prologue — A New Destination — Head to Eibon Antique Shop” |
How to Participate
Board the Ghost Train and clear the route’s event challenges during the two-week window. Rewards come from those challenges rather than from a login track, and the in-game event page carries the full breakdown.
What Players Should Know
The prologue quest gate is the same one the previous route used, so anyone who ran the Waxing Circle is already through it. Annulith is the pull currency, so the two weeks are worth clearing whether or not the Ghost Train is your kind of content.
