Arknights has announced its Autumn 2026 Thanksgiving Festival for the Japanese server, bringing a ten-day login campaign, free scouting rewards, new operator outfits, and limited-time shop offers beginning October 14.
The celebration accompanies the release of main story Chapter 17, titled 相変臨界, and runs alongside several promotions extending into November.
For players planning their pulls, the most important reward is a free ten-pull ticket for the limited Yakudaku scouting banner. However, the ticket has an expiration date, so players will need to use it before the celebration ends.

The commemorative ten-pull ticket can only be used on the limited Yakudaku banner. It expires at 3:59 a.m. JST on October 28, and unused tickets will disappear automatically.
The advanced Sanity recovery item has a separate expiration date of November 9.
Chapter 17 arrives with new Arknights outfits
The autumn celebration is tied to the release of Arknights main story Chapter 17, giving players additional story content alongside the anniversary-style rewards.
Several new operator outfits are also coming to the in-game fashion store.
Among the additions is Exusiai the New Covenant's Wings of the Explorer outfit, which includes voice lines and multiple animations.
Other new outfits include cosmetics for Haruka, Nowell, Mon3tr, and Gracebearer.
Returning collections will feature outfits for operators such as W, Rosmontis, Nearl the Radiant Knight, Texas the Omertosa, Skadi the Corrupting Heart, Kal'tsit, Muelsyse, Ines, and Thorns.
A selection of additional costumes will also return, including Wis'adel's animated, voiced Supernova outfit.
The announced outfit sales run from October 14 at 4:00 p.m. JST through November 11 at 3:59 a.m. JST.
Paid six-star selector packs and special scouting offers
Alongside the free rewards, Yostar is introducing several paid packs during the autumn celebration.
One notable offer is the Thanksgiving six-star operator selection pack. It includes a selector ticket that lets players choose an eligible six-star operator from the standard scouting pool, along with a ten-pull ticket.
Limited operators are excluded from the selection pool.
A separate Kernel six-star selection pack will let players choose an eligible six-star operator from the Kernel pool.
Both selector tickets must be used before December 14 at 3:59 a.m. JST.
Special scouting packs will also be available to eligible existing players, offering a choice between three predetermined groups of six-star operators. Each special ten-pull guarantees one six-star operator from the selected group.
To be clear, these are paid offers, not additional free ten-pulls.
The shop will also feature training packs, promotion materials, Originium bundles, and other resources. Most of these offers remain available until November 11.
New-player packs are also being updated
The October 14 update includes additional offers aimed at new players.
A new beginner support pack will provide rewards based on cumulative login days, including Orundum, LMD, training materials, and class-specific chip resources.
Players creating accounts during the specified eligibility period will also be able to purchase special beginner scouting packs within 14 days of account creation.
These additions give new players more progression and recruitment options, although the special scouting offers require a purchase.
When does the Arknights Autumn 2026 event start?
The Japanese-server celebration begins October 14, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. JST.
The free ten-day login campaign ends October 28, while most limited-time shop offers remain available until November 11.
