No, the Moonlit and Bloodlit mutations were exclusive to the event and are no longer available. The night cycle mechanics have been removed from the game.
What happened to the Wise Old Owl?
The Wise Old Owl area has been replaced by the Bizzy Bees display. The NPC and its trading system are no longer available in the game.
