Anime Vanguards: Extermination Event Pt. 2 event
Anime Vanguards New Update: Schedule, Start Times & Next Countdown
In Anime Vanguards, a New Update is the developer’s headline event — the periodic drop that reworks the roster, layers in a themed challenge, and gives the whole community a reason to log back in on the same night. It is a recurring fixture rather than a one-off: every few months the studio lines up another major update in the same launch slots, and players plan their evenings around it. Anime Vanguards is one of Roblox’s busier anime tower-defense games, keeping a steady crowd of players in its worlds at a time.
These updates arrive on a long, predictable rhythm rather than weekly. A fresh major update lands roughly every ~221 days, which puts the next one around Friday, October 2 at 5:45 PM ET — that date is our best estimate from the developer’s past pace, and we confirm it once the next update is officially announced. The next launch time and the usual windows are on the card below.

How often updates land, and when
So far the developer has shipped 2 of these major updates, and each has gone live in one of two recurring slots: a Tuesday morning window and a Friday evening window, both in Eastern Time. Two slots may look arbitrary, but they fall on very different parts of the day, so players across the world’s time zones can be online when the servers flip. Here is how those two windows translate around the globe:
| Region | Tuesday slot | Friday slot |
|---|---|---|
| US East (ET) | 3:40 AM Tue | 5:45 PM Fri |
| US Pacific (PT) | 12:40 AM Tue | 2:45 PM Fri |
| UK | 8:40 AM Tue | 10:45 PM Fri |
| Central Europe | 9:40 AM Tue | 11:45 PM Fri |
| India (IST) | 1:10 PM Tue | 3:15 AM Sat |
| Japan (JST) | 4:40 PM Tue | 6:45 AM Sat |
| Australia East (AEST) | 5:40 PM Tue | 7:45 AM Sat |
Times shift by an hour around daylight-saving changeovers, so treat the Eastern-time slot as the anchor and read across for your region.
What the latest update brings
The current update leans into a Rumbling-themed arc. As the developer framed it, players face “two thousand years of rage” — a large-scale threat that bears down on your defenses and demands a rebuilt team to hold the line. It follows the usual shape of an Anime Vanguards headline update, layering new content onto the existing roster and challenges.
Because this is the update on the schedule right now, it is what most players are searching for and building teams around.
Tips for catching an update
- If you are in the Americas, the Friday evening slot is the easy one to make; East Asia and Australia are better served by the Tuesday window, which lands in their afternoon or evening.
- Set a reminder for the projected date and check back as it nears — projected dates firm up once the developer posts the official announcement.
- Miss it? Nothing is lost. The update stays in the game, and the next major one comes around on the same multi-month cadence.
How it fits Anime Vanguards’ event calendar
A New Update is the tentpole among a rotating set of Anime Vanguards events. Shorter beats fill the gaps between major drops — the game has run limited events like Eternal Adversaries and two rounds of its Extermination Event, with 25th Hour lined up next. Where those events are brief bursts, a New Update is the reset that carries the game through the following stretch.
