Apocalypse Rising 2 Easter Mini-Event: Start Time & Countdown
The Easter Mini-Event is Apocalypse Rising 2’s springtime takeover — a short, seasonal celebration that returns to the survival shooter once a year, dressing the map in Easter trimmings and handing out a batch of limited cosmetics and weapons you can only claim while it is live. It has run 2 times so far, and each appearance brings back the previous year’s items alongside something new.
Dualpoint Interactive’s hardcore looter has drawn well over about 200,000,000 visits and more than about 1,000,000 favorites, with around about 3,600 survivors in the servers right now. The Easter event is one of the quieter beats on the calendar, but its exclusive gear makes it a dependable reason to drop back in each spring.

How often the Easter Mini-Event runs
This is an annual event, returning roughly every ~364 days, so there is a long stretch between appearances. The next one is expected around Friday, March 26, 2027 at 5 PM ET; the developer hasn’t locked the date in yet, so that is our best estimate from the event’s yearly rhythm, and we’ll confirm it once it is officially announced.
When it goes live, it opens at a single fixed time: 5:00 PM ET on its launch Friday. Here is how that start lands around the world, so players in every region know when to log in:

What’s in the Easter Mini-Event
The most recent run was built around a brand-new map location, the Rabbit’s Den, and carried over every limited item from the prior Easter so newcomers wouldn’t miss out. The headline additions were:
- The FAMAS assault rifle
- A French CCE uniform
- A French Military Beret
Expect the formula to hold each spring: returning limited content paired with a fresh piece or two of themed gear whenever the event cycles back.
Tips for catching it
- Since it only runs once a year, treat the opening weekend as your window — set a reminder for the start time in your region using the table above.
- Returning cosmetics mean missing one year isn’t fatal; past drops tend to reappear when the event does.
- The newly added gear is the time-sensitive prize, so prioritize whatever is fresh this time around.
How it fits the game’s rhythm
Apocalypse Rising 2 rotates through a steady run of seasonal events across the year. The Halloween Event is live right now, and the calendar also cycles through the AR2 Winter Event and a Valentine’s Mini-Event, with the Easter Mini-Event filling the spring slot. Together they give the survival grind a seasonal shape without overlapping.
