Quick answer: Roblox’s announced event, The Hollow, is scheduled for Thursday, October 22, 2026. From October 22–24, US players should check Roblox’s official event listing and each game’s own event page for launch details, quests, and deadlines. The teaser confirms the name and date, but not a complete roster, rewards, or a verified exact start time.

Roblox Halloween schedule: October 22–24
| Date | Plan | What is known |
|---|---|---|
| Thursday, October 22 | Check Roblox’s official event listing for The Hollow, quests, and participating experiences. | The teaser displays 10.22.26; it does not confirm an exact launch hour or full roster. |
| Friday, October 23 | Recheck official Roblox and developer announcements if details are incomplete. | A practical follow-up check, not a separate announced launch date. |
| Saturday, October 24 | Prioritize separate game events whose official listings show a deadline that day. | Individual experiences have separate schedules; a Halloween update alone does not prove Hollow participation. |
What Roblox has announced
Roblox’s October 10 teaser revealed The Hollow and the date “10.22.26,” with the line “you’ve met them before. but not like this.” The teaser does not show a playable hub, quest instructions, a reward catalogue, or a final end date. Some gaming coverage has circulated a proposed 11 a.m. Pacific start time and lists of likely games; treat those as reports until Roblox confirms them in an official listing or announcement.
October 22: verify before you grind
- Open Roblox through its official app or website and find the event listing.
- Confirm participating games through the official event page or direct developer announcements.
- Read task and reward requirements before spending time or Robux.
- Do not trust copied reward lists that lack a primary source.
October 23: recheck updates
If the event page is live but details remain incomplete, check again and follow verified developer announcements. A delayed reveal is a reason to verify later, not trust a rumor. Keep separate game-event timers in view because they can end independently of The Hollow.
October 24: prioritize real deadlines
Use the end time shown on each experience’s official Roblox event listing. If a separate event ends that day, finish its confirmed tasks before investigating an unverified crossover. Never share passwords, session cookies, or verification codes with a reward site, and avoid downloads promising early access or free Robux.
How The Hollow may differ from separate Halloween updates
Past Roblox platform events have connected players to experiences through a central event area and used quests or progression to unlock avatar items. That history is background, not proof of The Hollow’s structure. Do not assume the same currency, portals, item names, or progression until Roblox publishes current instructions.
Official announcement and reliable checks
Follow Roblox’s official X account and read the Roblox newsroom recap of Halloween Spotlight 2025 for historical context. For 2026, use the official event listing and current developer announcements as the final sources.
Roblox’s teaser line: “you’ve met them before. but not like this.” The reveal displays 10.22.26; it is a date/name teaser, not a full quest guide.
