Residence Massacre Events Timeline

Every seasonal event, milestone celebration, and limited-time modifier from 2023 to September 2026.

Last updated:

Events in Residence Massacre are limited-time content windows that add new gameplay modifiers, unlock exclusive badges, hats, and outfits, and celebrate holidays or game milestones. Most events return annually on similar schedules, though some content stays exclusive to its original window. This hub documents every event since launch in August 2023 through the September 2026 milestone.

Events do not change core night mechanics permanently — modifiers like Graves or Blizzard return to their unlock requirements after each seasonal window closes. Use this page as a reference when grinding for exclusive cosmetics or understanding what changed the lobby during a past absence.
