Current and upcoming events
Big Update
The Big Update is the next item on the calendar, set for Friday, October 23 at 3:00 PM ET (12:00 PM PT, 19:00 UTC). Specifics are being kept under wraps, but the developer has confirmed new crates, new keyboards, and a new game mode — a step beyond the crate-and-keyboard additions that have defined recent updates. Its window runs through October 30, and roughly about 2,900 players have marked themselves interested so far.
Halloween Update
The Halloween Update has been live since October 10 and is scheduled to run through November 1. It adds a Halloween mutation, a set of Halloween crates, and Halloween-themed keyboards. Around about 3,400 players flagged interest, and with over a week left left on its window, there is still time to collect the seasonal items before it closes.
Recently wrapped
Two events closed out in the days before the Big Update. Admin Abuse, a short festival-style session on October 18, ran for about 45 minutes (10:15 to 11:00 AM ET) and pulled the largest crowd of the recent batch, with just over 5,000 players interested; the developer billed it as the first admin abuse event since regaining control of the game. Before that, the Massive Update ran from October 7 through 14 and added 22 new crates and 10 new keyboards.
Taken together, these drops point to a brisk cadence, with a new update or event landing roughly every week through October.
