Vanguards Events Schedule: 2nd Anniversary Update and What’s Next

Vanguards wrapped up its 2nd Anniversary update on Monday, October 12, 2026, closing out a three-day celebration that marked the game’s two years on Roblox. The update, subtitled “Arise,” went live on Friday, October 9 at 7:00 PM ET (4:00 PM PT, midnight BST) and ran until 7:00 PM ET on October 12. More than 230,000 players marked interest before it began, making it comfortably the biggest moment on the game’s recent schedule.

Vanguards remains one of Roblox’s largest experiences. It has drawn about 2,100,000,000 total visits and about 2,000,000 favorites, with about 25,000 players in the experience right now. At its heart it’s a unit-collection game: you summon fighters inspired by anime, level and evolve them, and team up with friends to hold off waves of enemies across its various modes and colliding worlds.

With the anniversary over, there’s no new event on the calendar just yet. We update this page as the schedule changes. Last updated November 13.
