Survive the Killer event
Survive the Killer: Kringler’s Return (Pt 2) — Start Time & Countdown
Kringler’s Return is the winter chapter of Survive the Killer, Slyce Entertainment’s long-running horror game, and it runs on a weekly rhythm rather than arriving as a single limited drop. Every Friday the mode comes back around, bringing snow-covered maps and cold-weather content to the usual chase between the lone Killer and the Survivors trying to escape. Survive the Killer is one of Roblox’s enduring hits, with billions of visits logged over its lifetime and more than about 14,000 players in rounds as this is written.
Because it comes back every week, missing a Friday is never a problem — the same mode returns seven days later at the same time. The next start time, the countdown, and the usual weekly window are on the card below, so you can line up whichever session fits your week.

What’s new in Kringler’s Return (Pt 2)
The current run, Kringler’s Return (Pt 2), leans further into the game’s winter season. The developer bills it as “more winter-themed content,” and the headline additions are new snow-and-ice maps that reskin the familiar hunt. It builds directly on the first Kringler’s Return, carrying the seasonal look deeper into the game without changing the core rules.
- New winter-themed maps to stalk and hide across
- A snow-and-ice reskin of the familiar Killer-versus-Survivors rounds
- More seasonal content extending the first Kringler’s Return
Tips for catching it
- Pick the slot that suits your region from the list above — Friday afternoon across the Americas, Friday evening in Europe, or early Saturday in Asia and Australia.
- If a Friday afternoon is awkward, set a reminder before the window opens; it is a short slot and there is only one each week.
- Miss it entirely? There is no need to rush — the mode returns the following Friday at the same time.
How it fits Survive the Killer’s rhythm
Kringler’s Return is the game’s winter fixture — the cold-weather entry in a seasonal rotation that Slyce refreshes through the year. Rather than a one-time holiday drop, it has settled into a standing weekly slot that anchors the winter stretch of the game’s calendar, which is why it is worth bookmarking even between runs.
