FATHOM Events Schedule: Chapter 2 Countdown and What’s Next
FATHOM is heading back underground. FATHOM: Chapter 2, the next story installment in The Crimson Crusaders’ horror hide-and-hunt experience, is scheduled to go live on Halloween, October 31, 2026, picking the story up right where the first chapter left off.
The game has built a sizable following in the meantime. It has drawn about 2,100,000 visits and sits at about 130,000 favorites, with about 6,800 people in sessions right now. For a four-player horror game built around staying quiet while a listening monster hunts you, that is a strong and steady audience.
Below is FATHOM’s current event schedule, with the exact start and end times for what’s coming next. Last updated October 28.

Current and upcoming events
FATHOM: Chapter 2
The headline item on FATHOM’s calendar is Chapter 2, a new-content update the developers have tied to Halloween. It is set to open on October 31, 2026 at 11:00 AM ET (8:00 AM PT, 3:00 PM GMT) and runs through November 2, closing around midday ET. The precise opening and closing times are shown in the schedule above.
According to the developers, Chapter 2 drags players back below the shuttered amusement park into places that were never meant to be found. The update promises new areas to grapple and climb through, fresh horrors waiting in the dark, and a story that continues directly from Chapter 1 — all of it leaning on the game’s core loop of exploring, escaping, and hiding from a monster that reacts to sound, including your own voice on the mic. The team’s tagline for it is blunt: go deeper, he’s waiting.
Because this is a timed Halloween drop rather than a recurring series, Chapter 2 is best treated as a window to jump in around launch weekend. We’ll update this page if FATHOM adds more events to its schedule.

What is FATHOM about?
FATHOM is a horror game for one to four players set in a shut-down underground amusement park. You can explore in a story mode or drop straight into a chase mode while a monster hunts you — one that climbs walls, crawls through vents, and reacts to sound, including footsteps and voice chat. Your tools are limited: grapple to escape, a camera flash to blind it, and lockers to hide in as long as you stay silent.
