CARDIdentity V × Little Nightmares Crossover Rerun Confirmed: Mono Free via Event, Junji Ito and B.Duck Reruns Simultaneously
Every year-end, Oletus Manor seems to start clearing out its inventory.
According to the latest official news, the next few months will become a collaboration rerun season. Little Nightmares will return first, followed by a major B.Duck event in December, while Junji Ito Collection is also rumored to be making a comeback, fitting the Halloween atmosphere perfectly.
Veteran players know that consecutive reruns are a real test of Echo and Fragment management. This guide breaks down the key information, dates, and resource priorities for all three collaborations, so you can decide what to buy, what to skip, and what can be obtained for free.
Little Nightmares Returns on October 29: Six and Mono Meet Again
Little Nightmares will lead the rerun schedule on October 29, 2026. Six and Mono, the companions who supported each other in a gloomy world, will return to the Manor.
The two featured costumes have very different acquisition methods:
| Costume | Character | Quality | How to Obtain | Estimated Price |
| Six | The Little Girl | A-tier | Limited-time shop purchase | 1,388 Echoes |
| Mono | The Weeping Clown | A-tier | Free from the collaboration event | Free |
About Six (The Little Girl):
If you missed her the first time, this is an excellent chance to catch up. Six was originally sold directly in the shop for 1,388 Echoes, with the Pocket Radio accessory released at the same time. Based on previous reruns, the price will likely remain unchanged. The costume has high visual fidelity, and The Little Girl's small model can offer useful concealment in matches.
About Mono (The Weeping Clown):
The free costume tradition continues: Mono can be obtained at no cost. The exact format, whether daily missions, logins, or token exchange, will be revealed in-game on October 29. Claim this free A-tier costume as soon as the event starts instead of waiting until the final days.
Atmospheric Storytelling:
The official description is highly visual: “In a gloomy world hidden beneath radio waves, a boy wearing a paper-bag mask quietly sneaks forward. Together with Six, he crosses layers of fear...” Mono's iconic paper bag and the Weeping Clown's existing mechanics fit the Manor's dark atmosphere surprisingly well.
Three Collaboration Reruns: An Echo Spending Battle
Little Nightmares is only the beginning. The official schedule also includes two other collaboration reruns extending toward the end of the year:
| Collaboration | Rerun Date | Key Content | Resource Pressure |
| Little Nightmares | October 29, 2026 | Six (shop) + Mono (free) | Medium (1,388 Echoes) |
| B.Duck | December 10, 2026 | All three waves return | High (costumes, pets, furniture) |
| Junji Ito Collection | To be announced | Tomie Kawakami, Souichi, The Boy at the Crossroads, and more | Depends on the rerun scope |
About B.Duck (December 10):
This will be a major resource sink. Waves 1 through 3 have all been confirmed to return. Waves 1 and 2 only reran in January 2026, so their return shows how profitable this IP is. Popular items include B.Duck for Guard 26, B.Duck Street for Mercenary, and Buffy for Perfumer.
Wave 3 is the biggest mystery. Its content never fully launched on the Chinese server, so players are waiting to see whether it includes previously unavailable items. If it does, your December Echo budget may need to shift heavily toward B.Duck.
About Junji Ito Collection:
This is a long-standing regret for veteran players. Three waves launched in 2018 and 2019, and although the collaboration returned in April 2024, the key Girl in the Picture costume was excluded. Whether Tomie for Dream Witch and Souichi for Lucky Guy will return remains unknown. Wait for the official list before spending.
Resource Planning: An Echo Defense Plan for Regular Players
Three collaborations in less than three months will be difficult for players who do not spend heavily. Here is the recommended priority order:
Priority 1: Mono — Must Get
There is no debate. A free A-tier costume should always be claimed immediately. Mono gives you a guaranteed collaboration-limited reward.
Priority 2: Six — Buy Only If It Fits Your Plans
1,388 Echoes is not cheap for an A-tier costume. It is worthwhile if you frequently play The Little Girl or are a dedicated Little Nightmares fan. If you rarely play survivors, save your Echoes for December.
Priority 3: B.Duck and Junji Ito — Reserve 2,000-3,000 Echoes
B.Duck may include several costumes, pets, and furniture, so the cost can quickly reach thousands of Echoes. If Junji Ito includes Tomie and Souichi, its gacha or direct-sale costs may also be high. Start saving now if you missed earlier B.Duck items; do not spend on Junji Ito until the official lineup is announced.
Prepare for the Rerun Season: A Kardz Identity V Top-Up Guide
If you plan to buy Six or prepare for B.Duck, how can you top up Echoes conveniently? International-server players restricted by payment methods may consider Kardz as a direct top-up channel.
Kardz is an overseas game top-up platform with years of operation. It is available on Google Play and the App Store and supports hundreds of games, including Identity V International. Its direct top-up process only requires your game UID and server information; you do not need to provide your account password, making it safer than services that require account login.
How does it work?
Find your ID: Log in, tap Settings in the upper-right corner, and check the Game section for your player ID.
Choose a denomination: Open the Kardz website, search for Identity V, and select the Echo package you need. Alipay, WeChat Pay, Visa, and other payment methods are supported.
Enter details and pay: Submit your UID and server, verify everything, and complete payment. Direct top-ups usually arrive within a few minutes.
Important tips:
Choose the correct method: Kardz offers Direct Top-Up and Account Top-Up. Choose Direct Top-Up, which only needs your UID. Account Top-Up requires a password and carries unnecessary risk.
Check your UID: A wrong ID may send the top-up to someone else and make refunds difficult.
Check discounts: Kardz often offers promotions and new-user discounts, so the final price may be lower than the official price. If a top-up promotion appears before the December B.Duck rerun, consider stocking up on Echoes.
The hardest part of collaboration reruns is wanting everything at once.
The packed schedule clearly shows that the publisher wants a strong year-end performance. Players should stay rational. If you do not genuinely like a direct-sale costume, there is no need to buy it just to complete your collection.
On October 29, claim Mono for free first, then decide whether to buy Six after trying her out. Next, focus on B.Duck on December 10, which will be the real test for your wallet. As for Junji Ito, hopefully the official rerun will include the best items this time.
Good luck claiming Mono for free after the October 29 update!
