Egg Hunt 2026: The Grand Eggspress
Egg Hunt 2026: The Grand Eggspress — July 29 Launch Countdown
Egg Hunt 2026: The Grand Eggspress still isn’t playable, but developer Koiverse has locked in the date fans have been waiting for: the game opens to everyone on July 29, 2026, in a month-long release event called The Grand Eggspress. Two more dates have since joined the calendar — a Medal Quest giving away a free UGC item, and the debut of Chapter 2, subtitled Songhua Station — turning what began as a single launch into a run of overlapping events stretching into September.
The experience is pitched as the spiritual sequel to Egg Hunt 2018: The Great Yolktales, still remembered as one of Roblox’s finest event games. It’s built as a single-player and multiplayer 3D platforming adventure, with an oddball original cast and several distinct worlds to work through, and Koiverse is developing it for Xbox, PlayStation, iOS, Android, Windows, and Mac. It launches in English, with more languages to follow through Roblox’s translation tools.
As of August 5, the game page has pulled in about 4,500 total visits and about about 1,800 favorites — striking numbers for a title no one can play yet — while the release event alone has more than 2,700 players marked as interested. The sections below break down all three dates: the launch itself, the Medal Quest item drop, and the Chapter 2 demo. We update this page as the schedule changes, and exact start and end times are in the schedule below.

Current and upcoming events
The Grand Eggspress: official release
The Grand Eggspress is the release event, and it opens the game to everyone on July 29, 2026 at 8:00 p.m. ET (12:00 a.m. UTC on July 30, 1:00 a.m. BST, and 5:00 p.m. PT). It’s scheduled as a month-long window rather than a one-day debut, running through the evening of August 29, 2026, when it closes around 8:00 p.m. ET. There’s no gameplay before that start time.
The launch has already gathered more than 2,700 interested players — a lot of appetite for a game that isn’t live yet — and that early pull tracks with the goodwill Koiverse inherits from Egg Hunt 2018. Because this is a one-time release rather than a recurring event, there’s no weekly rhythm to read into; instead, Koiverse has front-loaded the first weeks with two more drops.
Medal Quest: free UGC item
A few days after launch, Koiverse runs the Medal Quest, an item drop that hands out a free UGC reward to players who take part — offered while supplies last, so it’s worth jumping on early. It starts August 1, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. ET (6:00 p.m. UTC, 7:00 p.m. BST, and 11:00 a.m. PT) and stays open through September 1, 2026, giving players most of a month to claim the item once the game is live.
Interest here is far lighter than the release so far — a couple hundred players — which is typical for a giveaway announced this early. Expect that to climb once the launch pulls people in and the reward is actually within reach.
Chapter 2: Songhua Station
The next content beat is Chapter 2, subtitled Songhua Station, which becomes available on August 5, 2026 at 8:00 p.m. ET (12:00 a.m. UTC on August 6, 1:00 a.m. BST, and 5:00 p.m. PT). Koiverse is framing it as a playable demo of the chapter rather than a separate live event, and it stays open through the evening of September 5, 2026.
Songhua Station is set around a cold, remote station: the pitch has you helping its researchers, patching things up with the locals, and tracking down the source of a mysterious noise deep in the mountains. It’s drawn a few hundred interested players — more than the Medal Quest but still well behind the launch — and that gap is likely to narrow as the release brings players in and word spreads about what the chapter holds.
Frequently asked questions
When does Egg Hunt 2026: The Grand Eggspress come out?
It launches July 29, 2026 at 8:00 p.m. ET (12:00 a.m. UTC on July 30), when Koiverse’s release event, The Grand Eggspress, begins. There’s no gameplay before that time.
