KNIFE DUELS Events Schedule: Halloween Case Countdown and What’s Next
KNIFE DUELS is heading into Halloween with its next big update already on the calendar. The Halloween Case and FFA update is scheduled for October 23, 2026, opening at 2 PM ET (18:00 UTC) and running for a day, and it brings a seasonal weapon case, three new weapon types, and a free-for-all limited-time gamemode to the knife-combat shooter. It keeps the game on the steady weekly update rhythm it has held through the fall.
The experience is one of Roblox’s busier shooters, with about 7,000 players dueling at any given moment. It has pulled in about 160,000,000 total visits and about 290,000 favorites, a sign of how steady its audience has stayed.
The most recent drop, the Map, Exclusives and Trade-Ups update, wrapped on October 17, 2026. We update this page as the KNIFE DUELS schedule changes, and the exact start time for each update is listed in the schedule below. Last updated November 2.

Current and upcoming KNIFE DUELS updates
KNIFE DUELS runs a steady stream of dated content updates rather than long seasonal festivals, each one opening in the early afternoon Eastern time. Here’s what’s coming up next and what just wrapped.
Halloween Case and FFA update
The next update is a Halloween-themed one, scheduled for October 23, 2026, opening at 2 PM ET (18:00 UTC) and running through October 24. Billed by the developer as a huge update, it adds a Halloween weapon case, three new weapon types, and a free-for-all limited-time gamemode to the usual duel lineup. Interest is already running high, with about 15,000 players marked as going — well ahead of the roughly 2,500 who turned out for the previous update, which makes this the most anticipated drop in recent weeks.
Map, Exclusives and Trade-Ups update
The update just before it ran from October 16 to October 17, 2026, also opening at 2 PM ET (18:00 UTC). It introduced a new Graveyard map, a trade-up system for skins, and two new exclusive knives, and it finally rolled out Ranked rewards after they had been promised for some time. Around 2,500 players marked themselves interested ahead of it.
What’s next
KNIFE DUELS has been shipping these updates on a weekly basis, with recent drops landing on Fridays around 2 PM ET. Once the Halloween update is over, the developer hasn’t dated the one after it yet, but at this pace another is likely within the week — its exact start time will appear in the schedule above once it’s set.
