The Hollow is Roblox’s 2026 Halloween event, set to go live on October 22, 2026. Roblox confirmed the date with a short teaser posted to its official X account, showing silhouetted characters pulled from several well-known experiences. No games have been locked in publicly yet, but a handful of titles are circulating as likely participants.
Quick answer: The Hollow is set to open at 11:00 AM PDT on October 22, 2026 and last roughly two weeks. No games are officially confirmed; 99 Nights in the Forest, Piggy, Dandy’s World, Doors, and +1 Speed Keyboard Escape remain rumors.
Release time: October 22, 2026, 11:00 AM PDT
When The Hollow starts and how long it runs
At 11:00 AM PDT on October 22, 2026, the event is scheduled to launch. The teaser announcing it paired the date 10.22.26 with the line “you’ve met them before. but not like this.” You can view it in the official Roblox announcement.
The Hollow is a limited-time run lasting roughly two weeks, wrapping in early November. Whether Roblox Plus members get early access, as happened with earlier events like the Hunt, has not been stated.
Players in Vietnam may not get access on the same schedule. The event is rumored to start there around November 5, 2026 rather than in October.
Confirmed games in The Hollow
No experiences have been officially confirmed for The Hollow. Roblox has not published a lineup, and none of the individual studios have announced their participation. Until either Roblox or a developer states it directly, the roster remains open.
Rumored games in The Hollow
The names below come from leaks and from characters spotted in the teaser, which featured recognizable silhouettes such as branching antlers, claws, a bat, and a rounded figure. Treat every entry as unconfirmed.
- 99 Nights in the Forest
- Piggy
- Dandy’s World
- Doors
- +1 Speed Keyboard Escape
Several of these lean heavily into horror, which fits the Halloween framing. Still, none of them are secured, so expect the list to shift as Roblox and studios share details.
What The Hollow actually is
The Hollow is the platform-wide event celebrating Halloween in 2026. It follows the same pattern as previous Roblox events: you jump between participating experiences, complete quests, and earn a virtual currency. That currency is then spent on rewards, typically UGC items.
It arrives after the Hunt 2026 event, and it is a separate celebration from The Haunt, Roblox’s 2024 Halloween event. The two share the annual Halloween theme but use different games, settings, and prizes.
How to know the event is live
Once October 22 passes, the event is confirmed live when the participating experiences open their Hollow quests and the reward currency becomes claimable in-game. Until then, the lineup and any rewards remain speculative, so check back as Roblox and individual studios publish official details.
