Anime Astral Simulator Events Schedule: Update 11.5 Countdown and What’s Next

Updated August 26, 2026 By AllThingsHow Staff 17K playing now

Anime Astral Simulator has a fresh new-map update live and its bug-fix companion landing the same week. Update 11, the latest full new-map release, opened Saturday, August 22, 2026 at 4:15 PM ET and runs through Friday, August 28. Update 11.5 opened Tuesday, August 25 at the same hour and is now live alongside it — the most-anticipated item on the board. The previous headliner, Update 10.5, closed Monday, August 24.

The developer’s release pace has held steady all month: a full new-map update every Saturday and a lighter bug-fix follow-up every Tuesday. Beyond Update 11.5, the calendar already stretches to Update 12 and 12.5 at the turn of the month and on to Update 13.5 in mid-September.

The fighter-training experience continues to pull a large crowd, with about about 17,000 people in game as of this writing. It has passed about 86,000,000 total visits and holds more than about 110,000 favorites. Below are the current and upcoming events with exact start and end times, followed by short answers to the questions players ask most. Last updated September 16 — we update this page as the schedule changes.

Current and upcoming events

Update 11.5: live now, the biggest draw

Update 11.5 went live Tuesday, August 25, 2026 at 4:15 PM ET (1:15 PM PT / 8:15 PM UTC, 9:15 PM BST) and runs through Monday, August 31 at the same hour, with about several days left. It is a systems, bug-fix and quality-of-life drop — the lighter half of the game’s weekly one-two — yet it has drawn more interest than anything else on the schedule, with about 60,000 players signed up to join.

Update 11: live now, the newest map

Update 11 went live Saturday, August 22, 2026 at 4:15 PM ET (1:15 PM PT / 8:15 PM UTC, 9:15 PM BST) and runs through Friday, August 28, 2026 at the same hour, with about several days left. This is the new-map entry of the current cycle, carrying the developer’s usual systems-plus-new-map-and-quality-of-life billing, and it opened to a strong crowd of about 49,000 interested players.

Update 12 and beyond

The board runs further out than that. Update 12, a new-map release, is set for Saturday, August 29, 2026 at 4:15 PM ET through September 4, with the bug-fix follow-up Update 12.5 landing Tuesday, September 1 through September 7. Both are already gathering steam this far ahead — Update 12 has about 52,000 interested players and Update 12.5 about 62,000 — in line with how earlier drops looked before their own launches came into view. Further out, Update 13 is penciled in for Saturday, September 5 through September 11 and Update 13.5 for Tuesday, September 8 through September 14, each drawing a more modest early crowd of around about 58,000 so far.

Recently ended

Update 10.5: closed August 24

Update 10.5, the bug-fix half of the previous cycle, ran Tuesday, August 18 through Monday, August 24, 2026. It was the single biggest draw of the month, pulling over 61,000 interested players before it wrapped — even ahead of the new-map updates around it.

Update 10: closed August 21

Update 10 was the new-map release of that cycle, live from Saturday, August 15, 2026 at 4:45 PM ET until Friday, August 21 at 4:15 PM ET. It gathered nearly 50,000 interested players.

Update 9.5 and Update 9

Update 9.5, another bug-fix drop, ran Tuesday, August 11 through Monday, August 17 and drew over 37,000 interested players — comfortably ahead of the full Update 9 it followed. Update 9 itself, the new-map entry, ran Saturday, August 8 through Friday, August 14 and gathered about 14,000, a more modest showing than the mini-update that trailed it.
