Forsaken: Strangers From The Past — What It Included

Updated July 12, 2026 By AllThingsHow Staff 65K playing now

Strangers From The Past was Forsaken’s Halloween 2025 content update, and it arrived with the roster’s biggest additions of the season: a new killer, Guest 666, and a new survivor, Veeronica. It also brought what the developers billed as the game’s “first proper event,” Robloxia’s Masquerade, a themed limited-time mode built around the update’s masked-ball setting. The whole package ran from Oct 31 through Nov 7, 2025.

Forsaken is one of the larger asymmetric-horror games on Roblox, with more than five billion lifetime visits and tens of thousands of people in matches at any given moment. Well over a million players marked themselves interested ahead of this drop, which tracks with the attention Guest 666 pulled as a returning piece of Roblox creepypasta lore.

A content update brings in killer Guest 666 and survivor Veeronica and launches Robloxia's Masquerade, the game's first full-scale event, with new skins, maps, and emotes.

What the update included

Strangers From The Past was a content update rather than a single mechanic, so it touched several parts of the game at once:

  • Guest 666 — a new killer added to the roster, leaning on the old Roblox horror myth of the same name.
  • Veeronica — a new survivor to play on the other side of a match.
  • Robloxia’s Masquerade — the update’s centerpiece, a masked-ball themed limited-time event that the team framed as Forsaken’s first full event rather than a straight character drop.
  • New skins, maps, and emotes — cosmetic and environment additions tied to the masquerade theme.

Because the killer and survivor were permanent roster additions, they stayed in the game after the window closed; the masquerade event and its themed extras were the time-limited part of the drop.

When it ran

The event ran from Oct 31, 2025 at 9:00 PM ET to Nov 7, 2025 at 8:00 AM ET — a roughly week-long window timed to Halloween night. Across the major time zones that start was Nov 1 at 1:00 AM in the UK, 2:00 AM in Central Europe, and 6:30 AM in India, while the close landed at 1:00 PM UK time and 2:00 PM in Central Europe. The exact window is on the card above.

How it fit Forsaken’s rhythm

Forsaken keeps up a steady drip of content drops, usually built around a single killer or survivor, with shorter balance passes in between — 2026 alone has moved through the Jane Doe drop in March, a Kitchen Showdown update in April, and the Guest 1337 revamp in May, plus quick buffs like the John Doe and Slasher tweaks. Strangers From The Past stood apart from that pattern of character-of-the-month releases as the point where the developers built out a full themed event instead. The developer’s schedule shows another event, Azure’s Arrival, coming in mid-July 2026.
