The next drop is already dated. The developers have slotted their following weekly update for Friday, August 28 at 12:00 PM ET, set to take over the moment the Sand Update wraps, though they haven’t spelled out what it includes yet.

Current and upcoming events
Sand Update (live now)
The Sand Update caps off Slap Battles’ four-part Seasons arc. With autumn, winter, and spring already cleared, the summer door is the last to open, and the developers have teased that finishing all four unlocks a trophy tucked away in Hitman’s office. It’s live through Friday, August 28 at 12:00 PM ET, a few days into its run with about a short window left before the next update takes over.
Sign-ups sit at about 50,000, the strongest turnout among the currently scheduled updates.
Next weekly update (next up)
Slap Battles’ next weekly drop is already on the calendar for Friday, August 28, 2026 at 12:00 PM ET (11:00 AM CT, 10:00 AM MT, 9:00 AM PT; 16:00 UTC), but the developers are keeping its contents under wraps for now — the listing only flags that another update is on the way. It runs the usual seven days, through Friday, September 4. Early interest is already at about 41,000, with players lining up before knowing what’s inside.
The timing is no accident: each Slap Battles update has opened on a Friday at 12:00 PM ET and run seven days until the next one takes its place, so this drop begins the instant the Sand Update ends.
Recently ended
Roguelike Mastery (August 14 to August 21) reworked the card system, letting players draw from six cards instead of three and hold up to six at once, swapping any of them for new options on every level-up. It also added a set of cards exclusive to the mode, so no two runs played out the same. It drew about 58,000 sign-ups.
Before that, Pim’s Arrival (August 7 to August 14) opened a new domain and handed exclusive rewards to anyone in game when it launched. It was the biggest draw of this stretch by a wide margin, with about 110,000 sign-ups.
