Chameleon Events Schedule: Squid Games + Ranked and What’s Next
Chameleon’s headline event is Squid Games + Ranked, a new-content drop the developer has scheduled to go live on Thursday, July 16, 2026. It tops the upcoming calendar and is already the most-anticipated item Chameleon has lined up, with hundreds of thousands of players signed up to attend before it has even started.
Chameleon, from Blumea Productions: North, takes its cue from Meccha Chameleon: hiders paint their characters in colors and patterns to blend into the map and vanish in plain sight, while seekers rely on special abilities to hunt them down before the round ends. The experience is busier than ever — more than 30,000 people are typically in a game at once, its total visits have now climbed past 11.5 million, and north of 54,000 players have saved it to their favorites.
This page covers what’s on Chameleon’s event calendar and when each item runs, with start and end times given in Eastern time alongside other major zones. We update it as the schedule changes. Last updated July 14, 2026.

Upcoming and recent events
Squid Games + Ranked
The centerpiece of the calendar is Squid Games + Ranked, which the developer bills as a new map “and more.” The name points to a Squid Game-themed update paired with a ranked mode, adding a competitive ladder for regular players on top of the fresh map. As a new-content update, it should extend Chameleon’s core hide-and-seek painting rounds rather than replace them.
It’s scheduled to run from about 8 p.m. ET on Thursday, July 16 through roughly 9 p.m. ET on Monday, July 20, 2026. That start lands at 5 p.m. PT and 7 p.m. CT the same evening, and just before 1 a.m. BST on July 17 for players in the UK. More than 425,000 players have already registered interest, making it comfortably the biggest thing on Chameleon’s near-term schedule; the exact start and end times are shown in the schedule above.
Update 1
The drop just before it, Update 1, has now wrapped. Billed as a new map plus content, it ran from the late night of Thursday, July 9 through the evening of Sunday, July 12, 2026 (Eastern time). It drew far lighter interest than the Squid Game update — only about 2,000 players marked it — but it’s a useful gauge of cadence: with Update 1 arriving around July 10 and Squid Games + Ranked set for July 16, Chameleon’s new-content updates have been landing roughly a week apart.
