Ink Game: Guard Powers & More — What It Included
Ink Game’s Guard Powers & More event has wrapped. It ran for one week in October 2025 and centered on the game’s guard role, handing that side a set of new abilities the developer had been teasing as long-awaited additions. The window is now closed, so the powers introduced here have folded into the game’s regular rotation rather than remaining a limited-time draw.
Ink Game is one of Roblox’s larger Squid Game-inspired experiences, and the scale shows: it has drawn more than three billion visits over its lifetime, sits above 21 million favorites, and typically holds well over 20,000 players in-game at once. An event that promised to reshape how guards play was always going to reach a big audience — more than 750,000 players marked interest before it opened.

What the event included
The update was built around the guard side of a match. The developer framed it as the debut of new powers alongside a broader batch of features and additions, with players joining the event to be first to try them. In practice, that meant:
- New guard powers — the headline addition, giving that role fresh abilities to use during rounds.
- Supporting features tied to those powers, rounding out how the guard side operates.
- General additions bundled into the same drop, in the pattern the game uses for its recurring update events.
Because these landed as a permanent update rather than a cosmetic giveaway, the changes stayed in the game after the event’s promotional window ended.
When it ran
Guard Powers & More opened on October 6, 2025 at 5:30 PM ET and closed on October 13, 2025 at 6:00 PM ET — a seven-day run. The exact window, set out in ET and across the major world time zones, appears above. As a one-week update event, its busiest stretch was the opening days, when players crowded in to try the new powers first.
How it fit Ink Game’s rhythm
Ink Game keeps a steady rotation of update events, spaced anywhere from two to six weeks apart through 2026. Guards have remained a recurring theme in the naming — an Extended Guard Support event followed in the spring of 2026. The game’s Anniversary Update is the current live event, so anyone returning after Guard Powers & More will find the rotation still active.
