Anime Vanguards: Extermination Event Pt. 2 event
Anime Vanguards: 25th Hour — What It Included
Anime Vanguards has closed out its 25th Hour event, the one-day headline of Update 14.5. Rather than the multi-week seasons some Roblox titles run, this was a tight 24-hour drop that opened on August 10, 2026 and wrapped the following day, so it was designed to be played through in a single session rather than ground out at leisure.
The event landed on one of Roblox’s biggest tower-defense properties: Anime Vanguards has passed about 2,000,000,000 lifetime visits and holds close to about 2,000,000 favorites, with roughly about 13,000 players in servers at any given moment. Interest in the 25th Hour ran high before it opened, with about 250,000 players marking themselves as going.

What was in the 25th Hour event
The 25th Hour was the centerpiece of Update 14.5, and the developer categorized it as a new-content event rather than a cosmetic pass or a map refresh. Its short, single-day window is the clearest signal of how it was meant to be approached: content flagged for a 24-hour run in Anime Vanguards is the kind you claim while the event is live, not something left to return to later. Beyond that framing, the official listing kept its own rewards breakdown brief, so the update itself — not a long checklist of drops — was the draw.
When the 25th Hour event ran
The event opened on August 10, 2026 at 9:00 PM ET and closed on August 11, 2026 at 9:00 PM ET — a straight 24-hour run. Because that window was so short, it fell at very different times across the major world time zones:
- Pacific: opened Aug 10, 6:00 PM PT
- UK: opened Aug 11, 2:00 AM BST
- Central Europe: opened Aug 11, 3:00 AM CEST
- India: opened Aug 11, 6:30 AM IST
- Sydney: opened Aug 11, 11:00 AM AEST
For players in Europe and Asia-Pacific, that meant an overnight or early-morning start, which is worth remembering when Anime Vanguards schedules its next 24-hour event: the clock time that suits North America can be inconvenient elsewhere.
How it fit the game’s rhythm
Short, time-boxed events are the norm for Anime Vanguards rather than the exception. The months before the 25th Hour brought the two-part Extermination Event across early and late July, Stargazing in mid-July, and Eternal Adversaries and Godly Ascension in late spring and early summer — most of them lasting only a day or so and often tied to an update. The takeaway for players is that missing one of these is rarely a long wait: the game keeps a steady cadence of brief limited events, so the next one tends to be days or a couple of weeks away rather than months.
