99 Nights in the Forest: New Classes Start Time & Countdown
New Classes is one of the recurring updates that keeps 99 Nights in the Forest changing, handing survivors a fresh set of playable roles to take into the woods. Each time it runs, the update rolls out new classes alongside daily quests and fire offerings, giving both new arrivals and long-time campers a reason to rebuild their strategy around a different character. 99 Nights in the Forest is one of Roblox’s busiest survival games, with about about 220,000 players in the forest at the moment and about 29,000,000,000 visits since launch.
Rather than a one-off drop, New Classes returns on a set schedule from developer Grandma’s Favourite Games, always landing in the same Saturday afternoon slot. The next return is set for Saturday, September 5 at 1 PM ET, and the exact start time and the usual window are on the card below.

How often New Classes runs

What happens in New Classes
The headline of every New Classes run is the roster of playable roles it adds, each with its own strengths for surviving the nine-night stretch in the forest. Beyond the classes themselves, a run typically bundles in:
- Fresh playable classes to try, changing how you gather, fight and support your camp.
- Daily quests that reward regular check-ins rather than a single long session.
- Fire offerings to feed the campfire for in-game benefits.
Because the new classes carry over into the game after the update lands, there is no penalty for jumping in a little late — the point is to learn the roles and settle on the one that suits your play style.
Tips for catching it
- The Saturday slot suits the Americas and Europe most comfortably; Asia-Pacific players are looking at a late-night or very early Sunday start, so plan accordingly.
- Set a reminder for the return date shown on the card if you want to be in the forest the moment the new classes go live.
- If you miss the opening, the classes stay in the game, and the event comes back around on its next cycle.
How New Classes fits the game’s rhythm
99 Nights in the Forest cycles through a steady run of themed updates and limited events, from biome shake-ups like Biome Refresher and The Bee MINI Biome to story-driven drops such as The Dino Kid Update and The Aliens Revenge. Against that backdrop, New Classes is one of the more foundational returns — where a biome event changes the world around you, New Classes changes who you play as, which is why it tends to reshape the meta more than a seasonal one-off does.
