Dino Hunters Events: New Content Update End Time & Countdown
Dino Hunters keeps its updates coming on a near-weekly schedule, and the New Content Update is the one running the show right now. Built around new equipment and a 1,000-wave challenge, it has drawn more than about 29,000 interested players — one of the biggest turnouts among the events currently live, running neck and neck with the long Mega Evo Update. The record-setting New World update, which pulled in over 120,000 players off the back of its new-map launch, wrapped on August 21, and the calendar has rolled forward since.
Underneath the weekly headliners sits a longer content window. The Mega Evo Update opened at the end of July and stays live into early September, layering a new area and a fresh evolution over whatever shorter event is running that week. Around about 3,300 players are exploring the prehistoric world as this plays out, across a game that has been visited more than 21 million times.
This page covers Dino Hunters’ live and upcoming in-game events, and we update it as the schedule changes. Exact start and end times for every event are shown in the schedule below. Last updated August 25.

Current and upcoming events
New Content Update — New Equipment & 1000 Wave (live)
The New Content Update is the game’s live headliner, built around new equipment and a 1,000-wave gauntlet to grind through. It went live on August 21 at 9:00 AM ET and runs through midnight ET on August 28 (04:00 UTC), leaving about 2 days left on the clock. With more than about 29,000 players marking interest, it is among the most-followed events on the board, edging just past the longer Mega Evo Update.
Mega Evo Update — New Area & New Evo (live)
Running underneath the weekly drops is the Mega Evo Update, the longest window on the calendar. It opened on July 31 at 9:30 AM ET and stays live through midnight ET on September 4 (04:00 UTC), adding a new area to explore and a new evolution for your dino team. Interest sits at around about 28,000 players, and because it spans several of the shorter weekly events, there is always a headline update live while it runs.
New Season — Stage 2 (upcoming)
Up next is the New Season update, which pushes the game into its second stage. It is scheduled to begin the morning of September 1 ET (7:59 AM ET / 11:59 UTC) and then run for roughly two months, into early November — a far longer window than the weekly drops, overlapping the tail end of the Mega Evo Update at its start. Interest is already building toward about 29,000 players ahead of the start, strong for an event that has not opened yet.
The rhythm here is a steady week-to-week handoff. The More Mega Evo Dinosaurs drop ran August 7 to 14, the New World update took over August 14 to 21, and the New Content Update followed on August 21 — each a roughly seven-day window passing straight to the next. The New Season update breaks the pattern, opening September 1 for a much longer run that stretches into November, while the Mega Evo Update keeps the weekly cadence going through early September so a headline event is always live.
