Dead Rails Events Schedule: Class Mastery Event and What’s Next
Dead Rails’ long-awaited Class Mastery update is live. RCM Games opened the feature update on Saturday, August 15, 2026, at 4:15 PM ET (1:15 PM PT / 8:15 PM UTC), taking over the moment the Mummies event closed, and it runs through Saturday, August 29, 2026, at 3:15 PM ET (12:15 PM PT / 7:15 PM UTC). It’s the headliner on the calendar right now.
The game itself remains one of Roblox’s heavyweights, holding about 8,000 concurrent riders. Dead Rails has now passed about 6,600,000,000 total visits with about 6,100,000 favorites since launch. Class Mastery arrived with more anticipation than anything the game has run recently — about 1,100,000 players marked themselves interested, several times the turnout of the event it replaced. Last updated September 22, 2026.

Current and upcoming events
Class Mastery (live now, through August 29)
Class Mastery is the live event and the one pulling the crowd — a feature update RCM Games spent a while building toward, rather than a themed content drop. It opened Saturday, August 15, 2026, at 4:15 PM ET (1:15 PM PT / 8:15 PM UTC) and runs through Saturday, August 29, 2026, at 3:15 PM ET (12:15 PM PT / 7:15 PM UTC), which leaves a few days. Interest has been unusual for the game: about 1,100,000 players have marked themselves in, well into seven figures and far past the event that preceded it. Exact start and end times are in the schedule above.
Mummies (recently ended)
Mummies ran from Saturday, July 25, through Saturday, August 15, 2026 — a new-content event themed around figures the desert storms uncovered across the map — and mainly served as the lead-in to Class Mastery. It closed with about 46,000 interested players, a respectable showing but a fraction of the million-plus who lined up for the update that followed it.
Between Mummies and Class Mastery, Dead Rails has kept up a rhythm of back-to-back drops that open at 3:15 or 4:15 PM ET on a Saturday, with little to no downtime in between. We update this page as new events are announced.
