How often New Monster runs
New monsters land on a weekly cadence — close to once a week, give or take a day. The next one is expected around Thursday, October 22 at 12:41 AM ET; that date is our best estimate from the event’s usual rhythm, and we confirm it once dilly dally games posts the exact timing.
Across its runs, New Monster has tended to appear in three recurring Eastern-time windows rather than at a single moment. The staggered times work well for a global audience: whichever window hits, players outside North America get a reasonable shot at being online when the new monster first shows up. The three windows, with rough conversions for the major regions, line up like this:
| Window (ET) | UK | Central Europe | India | Japan | Australia (AEDT) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Thursday, 3:05 PM | 8:05 PM | 9:05 PM | 12:35 AM (Fri) | 4:05 AM (Fri) | 6:05 AM (Fri) |
| Friday, 12:30 AM | 5:30 AM | 6:30 AM | 10:00 AM | 1:30 PM | 3:30 PM |
| Saturday, 2:20 PM | 7:20 PM | 8:20 PM | 11:50 PM | 3:20 AM (Sun) | 5:20 AM (Sun) |
What happens in a New Monster drop
Each New Monster update centers on one thing: a new enemy to survive. A typical drop brings:
- A new monster with its own appearance, sounds, and tactics for breaking in.
- Fresh behavior to learn — the counters that worked on the last threat rarely carry over cleanly.
- A reason to jump back in, since the newest monster is the one everyone is trying first.
Because the headline is the creature itself, the real draw is seeing how it plays and working out how to keep it out before it beats you.
Tips for catching New Monster
- Pick the window that suits you. The Saturday afternoon ET slot is the friendliest for the Americas and Europe, while the Friday early-morning ET slot lands at daytime hours across Asia and Australia.
- To be there at the start, set a reminder for the next window — the next time and the usual windows are on the card above.
- Miss it and nothing is lost: a new monster comes around again the following cycle, and the one you missed stays in the game.
