Survive a Million Monkeys heads into its Halloween event on October 24, a roughly two-week run that pits players against a new boss, Baron von Boon, alongside a themed class, exclusive weapons, and a new bounty system. It is the game’s next scheduled drop after a stretch of weekly updates earlier in October.

The premise stays simple: pick a class, unlock guns, and survive endless waves of rabid monkeys while climbing the survivor leaderboard.

Current and upcoming events
The Halloween event
The headline item is the Halloween event, starting October 24 at 2:30 PM ET (11:30 AM PT, 7:30 PM BST) and scheduled to run through November 7. Baron von Boon arrives as a new boss, joined by a Halloween-themed class and weapons and a new bounty system, with additional content layered on top. It has already drawn about 130,000 players marked interested. Unlike the short feature drops that came before it, this one is a festival-style event built to stay live for about two weeks.
Recent updates
Two updates landed in the weeks before Halloween, each as a short, roughly one-day event. CONTRABAND went live October 17 at 3 PM ET, adding a per-run collection system that reshapes guns and class abilities so no two runs feel the same, plus new turrets and placements, fresh weapons, another class, and lobby additions like titles and stats. It drew nearly 300,000 interested players.
A week earlier, on October 10, the BOSSES update introduced a new Laboratory map, boss encounters, scavenged equipment, wall-climbing monkeys, and new enemy types including Flyers and Orangutans, along with a lobby rework and a level system. It pulled in over 230,000 interested players.
Those two drops landed exactly a week apart, both on Saturdays, pointing to a weekly update rhythm through October. The Halloween event keeps to that Saturday cadence with its October 24 start, but breaks the one-day pattern by running as an extended festival instead.
