Anime Expeditions Events Schedule: Update 2.0 Countdown and What’s Next
Anime Expeditions has recently wrapped its biggest content drop yet. Update 1.0 — a new-content-and-units release — ran from August 9 through August 21 and drew more sign-ups than anything else the game has scheduled, closing out alongside the Dragon’s Wish item event on the same day. No event is live at the moment, but developer Expeditions Entertainment has already lined up the next one: Update 2.0, billed as the summer update, though the studio is still calling its date unofficial. Here’s where the anime-summoning defense game stands right now, and what’s been announced next. Last updated August 31.
Anime Expeditions has grown into one of Roblox’s busier experiences. About about 47,000 people are in it at once, it has logged more than about 750,000,000 total visits, and close to about 200,000 players have marked it as a favorite.
For anyone new to it, the game is built around summoning units from popular anime worlds and then leveling, evolving and unlocking new abilities for them as you push through a run of Expeditions and game modes against escalating waves of enemies and bosses, solo or with friends. We update this page as the schedule changes.

Current and upcoming events
Update 2.0 — the summer update (next, date unofficial)
Update 2.0 is the next new-content-and-units drop on the calendar, described by the developer as another round of fresh content and units. Expeditions Entertainment hasn’t locked in a window for it, though: the date attached to it is flagged as unofficial, so there’s no confirmed start yet — treat it as penciled in rather than set. Even ahead of any firm date, it has already pulled more than about 130,000 players marking themselves as interested, which makes it the clear headliner among what’s still to come.
Update 1.0 — new content and units (ended August 21)
Update 1.0 was the game’s biggest event by interest, and its run has now closed. It ran from late Sunday, August 9 — starting at 8:00 PM ET (5:00 PM PT, midnight UTC on August 10) — through Friday, August 21 at 12:00 PM ET (9:00 AM PT, 4:00 PM UTC), delivering a batch of new content and new units over its roughly two-week window.
By interest it dwarfed everything else Anime Expeditions has scheduled: more than about 540,000 players signed on to be there, over half a million in all. With the window now closed, Update 2.0 is next in line whenever its date is confirmed.
Dragon’s Wish Event (ended August 21)
Running in parallel with Update 1.0 was the Dragon’s Wish Event, an item-focused event that opened Monday, August 10 at about 9:55 AM ET (6:55 AM PT, 1:55 PM UTC) and closed early Friday, August 21. The developer built it around daily event quests and rewards, an exclusive Wish Dragon mount, event coins, and a free Unbound Trait for taking part.
Its turnout was a fraction of the headline update’s — roughly about 1,200 players signed up — which is typical for a side item event running underneath a major content drop. Because its rewards were tied to the event window and that window has closed, they’re no longer available to claim.
