Ink Game Events Schedule: Combat Practice Countdown and What’s Next
Ink Game’s Combat Practice update is the headline on the schedule right now. The new mode went live on October 11 and is set to run through October 25, giving players a fresh way to sharpen their skills between the game’s deadly elimination rounds. It’s the current live event, but it isn’t the one drawing the biggest crowd — that distinction belongs to an unreleased content drop the developer is teasing as Rebel Route 1.
Ink Game has grown into one of Roblox’s biggest survival experiences, built on Squid Game-style elimination rounds where you either outlast everyone to be the last one standing or rebel and break out with your friends. It has pulled in about 3,400,000,000 visits and sits above about 22,000,000 favorites, with about 9,400 players in matches at any given moment.
Below you’ll find the current schedule, followed by a breakdown of what’s live now and what’s coming next. Last updated October 21.

Current and upcoming events
Live now: Combat Practice
The Combat Practice update is Ink Game’s live event, running from October 11 through October 25. It wraps at 1:00 PM ET (17:00 UTC) on that final day, which leaves about 3 days left on the clock. The developer has flagged it as a new mode rather than a limited-time challenge, and the brief note attached to it hints there’s more bundled in alongside the practice mode itself. Interest is modest next to the game’s headline acts — about 27,000 players have marked it — but it’s the one thing you can jump into today.
What’s next: Rebel Route 1
Rebel Route 1 is the content drop everyone’s waiting on, and the numbers make it plain: more than about 420,000 players have already registered interest, dwarfing the live event’s turnout. The developer has confirmed the name and tagged it as new content but hasn’t locked in a date — the only word so far is that more information is coming soon. The title points at Ink Game’s rebel path, the route where players break out and escape together rather than survive to the final round, though nothing beyond the name has been detailed. We’ll update this page once a real date and specifics land.
What to expect from the schedule
Both items on the calendar are tagged as new content, and Combat Practice’s run is already locked to a two-week window through October 25. The developer hasn’t signaled how often these updates land, so there’s no firm rhythm to point to yet — but with a live mode already in and a major drop teased, Ink Game is clearly in an active update stretch.
