Anime Vanguards Update 10: What’s New & Next Update Countdown
Update 10 is the current major content drop for Anime Vanguards, and its latest chapter, Update 10 Part 2, sends players to raid the Pink Villain’s compound, work through a run of co-op puzzles, and chase a fresh roster of powerful units. It’s the newest entry in the game’s line of numbered updates, each of which reshapes the meta with new units, new mechanics and limited-time challenges.
Anime Vanguards is one of Roblox’s heavily played anime tower-defense titles, with a large, active player base in-game and hundreds of millions of visits to date. Big numbered updates like this one don’t land often, so knowing when the next one is due, and the hour it usually goes live, is worth keeping bookmarked.

How often Anime Vanguards updates land
A new numbered update arrives on a slow cadence, historically every ~191 days, which works out to roughly one major drop every six months. Based on that rhythm, the next one is projected for around Friday, January 29, 2027 at 11:12 AM ET. That date is our best estimate from the developer’s past pacing, and we confirm it here once the next update is officially announced. There have been 3 of these major updates so far.
When an update does go live, the developer has favoured a handful of set release windows rather than one fixed moment, so players in different time zones each get a reasonable hour to log in for the launch. Those usual windows, in US Eastern time:
| Release window | Time (ET) |
|---|---|
| Tuesday | 9:10 PM ET |
| Sunday (afternoon) | 4:00 PM ET |
| Sunday (evening) | 7:00 PM ET |
Those hours translate across the major regions. Taking the Sunday 4:00 PM ET slot as an example, that lands at 1:00 PM on the US West Coast, 9:00 PM in the UK, 10:00 PM across central Europe, 1:30 AM in India, and 5:00 AM in Japan and 6:00 AM in eastern Australia the following morning. The Tuesday and evening windows shift by the same offsets. The next time and the usual windows are on the card above.
What’s new in Update 10
The current build centres on a co-op raid: you and your friends storm the Pink Villain’s compound and work through a series of puzzles, with rewards tied to solving them. Update 10 Part 2 also brings:
- New, more powerful units to summon and add to your lineup
- Fresh game mechanics the developer bills as “never before seen”
- Puzzle-based objectives that reward co-operative play over solo grinding
Tips for catching the next update
Pick the window that fits your schedule: the Sunday afternoon slot is the most convenient for European evenings, while the Tuesday night slot suits North American players. Because these updates are months apart, it’s worth setting a reminder a day ahead rather than relying on chance to catch it. And if you do miss launch day, the content stays in the game, so there’s no countdown pressure. You only miss the launch-day rush, not the update itself.
How Update 10 fits Anime Vanguards’ event calendar
Major numbered updates are the backbone of the game’s schedule, but they aren’t the only thing on it. Between drops, the developer runs shorter limited events. The 25th Hour event is next up on the calendar, following themed runs like Stargazing, Eternal Adversaries and the two-part Extermination Event. Those fill the long gaps between numbered updates, so there’s usually something live even when the next big version is still months out.
