What the update adds
The developer hasn’t posted a full breakdown yet, so treat the specifics as provisional. From how the update is billed, three things are clear:
- A Squid Games mode — a themed set of elimination rounds nodding to the survival-game format.
- Ranked — a competitive ladder, giving experienced players a reason to keep queuing beyond casual matches.
- A new map, alongside the unspecified extras the listing hints at.
We’ll fill in the reward and mode details here as the developer confirms them.
When it runs and how to plan
The event listing opens on July 16, 2026, at 7:59 PM ET and closes on July 20, 2026, at 8:59 PM ET — a window of about four days. The card above lists those start and end times across the major world time zones. That four-day window is the confirmed timeframe for the Squid Games mode, the ranked ladder, and the new map alike, so anyone who wants to try all three should plan around those dates. With no other Chameleon events currently on the calendar, this stands as the game’s headline drop for mid-July.
