99 Nights in the Forest Next Update After Halloween: What’s Confirmed and My Best Guess

TL;DR, bestie

Nothing official has been announced for 99 Nights in the Forest after Halloween yet. Confirmed: the Hedge Maze Refresh listing ends Sat 7 Nov: 2:30am PT / 5:30am ET / 10:30am GMT / 9:30pm AEDT / 11:30pm NZDT, and the weekly update party still runs every Saturday at 1pm ET. My guess (not confirmed): the next real content update lands on Sat 14 Nov, around 10:30am PT / 1:30pm ET / 6:30pm GMT / 5:30am AEDT (Sun 15 Nov) / 7:30am NZDT (Sun 15 Nov), because the game has updated every two weeks on Saturdays since June.

Scam check

There’s no “leaked next update” code and no early-access server. Links promising the next 99 Nights update early, or free Diamonds for it, are login grabs. The only working codes are the ones on my codes page, and you redeem them inside the game.

The Halloween stretch is ending, and the question in every 99 Nights chat is the same: what comes next? Short answer, nobody outside the studio knows yet. Below is what’s actually confirmed, kept completely separate from my guess and the pattern it’s based on.

What’s confirmed right now

WhatStatusWhen
Hedge Maze Refresh listing endsConfirmed (official Roblox listing)Sat 7 Nov: 2:30am PT / 5:30am ET / 10:30am GMT / 9:30pm AEDT / 11:30pm NZDT
Weekly update partyConfirmed (runs every Saturday)Sat 7 Nov: 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm GMT / 5am AEDT (Sun 8 Nov) / 7am NZDT (Sun 8 Nov)
Next content updateNot announcedNo listing, no teaser, no date as of 6 Nov
New code for the next updateNoneNothing on any dated code list

Two things worth knowing about that list:

  • The Hedge Maze end time is a listing end, not a confirmed removal. Grandma’s Favourite Games hasn’t said whether the maze leaves when the listing closes. In 2025, the maze listing also ran for about a week. If you still have Carnival Tickets, cash them in before Saturday anyway. My Hedge Maze Refresh guide has which reward I’d pick.
  • The update party isn’t the same as an update. Parties run every Saturday at 1pm ET for 30 minutes, whether or not a patch ships. A party on 7 November doesn’t mean new content on 7 November.

The pattern my guess is based on

The 99 Nights in the Forest Wiki’s update log says that since The Forest Wakes Up in June 2026, updates come every two weeks on Saturdays at 1pm ET, and they go live about 30 minutes after the update party starts. The last five updates line up perfectly:

DateUpdate
Sat 5 SepNew Classes
Sat 19 Sep2x Gem Weekend
Sat 3 OctHelping Happy
Sat 17 OctTrick or Treat
Sat 31 OctHedge Maze Refresh
Sat 14 NovMy guess: the next one

That’s why I’m treating Saturday 7 November as a party-only week and Saturday 14 November as the likely next update. Two weeks after 31 October is 14 November, and the studio hasn’t broken this rhythm since summer.

My guess (not confirmed): what the next update might be

Everything in this section is my guess, not a leak and not an announcement. I’m basing it on what happened at the same time last year.

After the 2025 Hedge Maze (1 November 2025), the wiki logs these updates:

2025 dateUpdate
8 NovDaily Quests
15 NovThe Deer Is Hurt (and a new creature teased)
22 NovSomething Is Coming (the Caves and the Bat)
29 NovThanksgiving Challenge
6 DecNew Classes
13, 20 and 27 DecChristmas, in three parts

Last year the game updated weekly. This year it’s every two weeks, so I’m not expecting the same number of updates. Here’s what I’d bet on, ranked by how confident I am:

  1. A Halloween cleanup on 14 November (my guess, medium confidence). The lobby and map reset after the spooky season, much like the “Snow Is Melting” update reset the map after Christmas in January. I think it’ll bring something new too, because a two-week slot with only a cleanup would be a strange use of an update day.
  2. A Thanksgiving-style update on 28 November (my guess, medium confidence). Two weeks after 14 November is 28 November, two days after US Thanksgiving. Last year’s Thanksgiving Challenge landed on 29 November 2025, so the timing fits almost perfectly.
  3. Christmas in December (my guess, high confidence it happens, low confidence on dates). Every big holiday so far has gotten an event. On a two-week rhythm, I’d look at 12 and 26 December, but that’s just counting on a calendar.

What I’m not guessing: new classes, new creatures or new biomes by name. Anything with a specific name and no official source behind it is fan fiction, and I’m not putting fan fiction on a schedule.

Is it worth waiting for, or should you play now?

My take: play now. This is the quietest stretch of the month for 99 Nights, and that’s a good thing.

  • Receipt: there’s no new content to rush, so it’s the best time to farm Diamonds for a class you’ve been eyeing. My Diamonds guide ranks every source.
  • Receipt: classes go on rotating discounts in the Classes Shop, so checking it before a big update is smart. My class tier list has the ones I’d buy first.
  • Receipt: the three working codes still give Diamonds right now. My 99 Nights codes page has them, checked.

If you’re the type who only logs in for new stuff, set a reminder for the 14 November party and check back. I’ll update this page the moment the studio posts a real listing.

How I’ll update this page

  • When an official Roblox event listing appears, the confirmed table above gets the real name and time, and my guess gets marked right or wrong. No quiet edits.
  • If the update lands on 14 November, I’ll write it up properly, with patch notes and what I’d do first.
  • If it doesn’t, I’ll say so and push my guess, with the reason.

Kiko’s take: My call: Saturday 7 November is a party with no patch, and Saturday 14 November is when I’d expect the next real update. That’s a guess based on five straight two-week updates, not an announcement. Don’t trust anyone selling “leaks” or early access. In the meantime, cash in your Carnival Tickets before the Hedge Maze listing ends, then go farm some Diamonds while the forest is quiet.

FAQ

When is the next 99 Nights in the Forest update?

It hasn’t been announced. My guess is Saturday 14 November, around 1:30pm ET, based on the two-week Saturday pattern the game has followed since June.

Is there an update on 7 November?

The weekly update party still runs on 7 November at 1pm ET, but if the two-week pattern holds, it’s a party week with no new content.

Does the Hedge Maze leave on 7 November?

Its official listing ends on 7 November. The studio hasn’t said whether the maze itself leaves, so use your Carnival Tickets before then to be safe.

Will there be a Thanksgiving update in 99 Nights?

Nothing’s confirmed. There was a Thanksgiving Challenge on 29 November 2025, and 28 November fits this year’s rhythm, so I think it’s possible. That’s my guess, not a fact.

Are there new codes for the next update?

Not yet. My codes page lists the codes that work today.
