Would You Rather Update 12: What’s New & Next Update Countdown

Updated October 24, 2026 By AllThingsHow Staff 419 playing now

Would You Rather: Anime Abilities Tower stays fresh with a steady drumbeat of numbered updates, and Update 12 is the version live in the tower right now. Big Labs. ships a new major update on a regular rhythm — about every ~21 days — and each one reworks abilities, adds modes, and shakes up how the climb plays. The game has pulled in about 27,000,000 total visits and about 680,000 favorites, with a healthy crowd of about about 420 players in the tower at any given moment.

Update 12 is the current headline, but the update slot itself keeps coming back on schedule. The next drop is expected around Saturday, October 24 at 2:30 PM ET. That date isn’t confirmed yet, so it’s our best estimate from how regularly the updates have landed so far — we’ll firm it up once Big Labs. announces the next one.

How often updates land, and when they go live

A new update arrives about every ~21 days, and there have been 8 so far. When one goes live, it tends to drop into one of a handful of recurring weekend windows rather than a single fixed hour. Those slots land at different points across the day, which happens to give players in North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region a reasonable shot at catching launch live. The usual windows, in Eastern Time, are:

Saturday2:30 PM ET
Sunday1:00 PM ET

Across the major world time zones, a mid-afternoon ET slot such as Sunday 2:00 PM ET lands at about 11:00 AM on the US West Coast, 7:00 PM in the UK, 8:00 PM across central Europe, 11:30 PM in India, and early the following morning in Japan and eastern Australia. The next confirmed time and the full list of usual windows are shown on the card above.

What’s new in Update 12

Update 12 is the newest version live in the tower, and it’s the one to be in right now if you want the current balance and additions. The series builds in layers: its recent updates added a head-to-head beam mode, a round of skills reworks across the ability roster, and a win-streak system that rewards stringing victories together, and Update 12 is the latest step in that run. Each drop reshapes which abilities are worth chasing and how the climb plays out near the top.

Tips for catching each update

  • Pick the window that fits your day — the weekend afternoon ET slots are the most reliable, and the later Sunday time suits players in Asia-Pacific.
  • Hop in near go-live if you want the new mode and reworks while the tower is busiest and the lobbies fill fast.
  • If you miss a launch window, there’s no rush: the update stays in the game, and another one comes around on the next cycle.

How updates fit the game’s rhythm

The numbered updates are the backbone of Would You Rather: Anime Abilities Tower’s calendar, but Big Labs. rounds out the schedule with limited-time events between them — past runs have included Admin Abuse and a Lucky Block Drop. Those come and go, while the update cadence is the constant readers can plan around, with each drop resetting what’s strong and what’s worth chasing in the tower.
