When Is the Next 99 Nights in the Forest Update?
If you’re itching to dive back into 99 Nights in the Forest and wondering when the big Meteor Shower update drops—here’s the short answer: it’s landing on September 27, 2025, at 10:00 AM PT. That’s a Saturday. Funny how updates always seem to hit right when people are just getting comfy for the weekend, right? Personally, I’ve learned to do chores early, because Friday night, I’m clearing inventory and sharpening whatever counts as a blade in this game.
It seems like the devs planned this one to be a bit of a “don’t blink or you’ll miss it” moment. I remember joining a clan last month, and every single update announcement became an excuse for us to have an “emergency meeting.” Last time, we huddled on voice chat, only for the “big event” to be a mysterious “rustle in the bushes” mechanic that got most of us eaten by wolves. So, you can bet I’m prepped this time—the Meteor Shower already sounds way more dramatic.
What Time Is the 99 Nights in the Forest Update?
The Meteor Shower update officially goes live at 10:00 AM PT, but that means a confusing map of late nights, early mornings, or perfectly convenient afternoons depending on where you live. I’ve been burned (not literally, yet) by missing patch drops because I botched the time zone math. So here’s a not-so-fancy rundown for the major regions:
- US (East): September 27, 1:00 PM ET
- Brazil: September 27, 2:00 PM BRT
- Europe: September 27, 7:00 PM CET
- Russia: September 27, 8:00 PM MSK
- India: September 27, 10:30 PM IST
- Philippines: September 28, 1:00 AM Manila Time
- China: September 28, 1:00 AM CST
- Japan: September 28, 2:00 AM JST
- Australia: September 28, 3:00 AM AEDT
- New Zealand: September 28, 6:00 AM NZDT
Somehow, every major update shows up just late enough for me in India to debate whether to stay up or risk seeing spoilers by morning. Last time, I thought, “Nah, I’ll play tomorrow,” but woke up to my group chat bursting with stories of the “unlucky rain” event. I’ll risk a bleary-eyed Saturday this time.
What’s This Meteor Shower Thing All About?
The Meteor Shower isn’t just for spectacle—it’s the headliner for this update, and it’s completely community-voted (thank you Discord polls and the 65% who voted for chaos). Here’s the premise: meteors will fall from the sky, and it sounds like they’re doing more than just lighting up the treetops. Supposedly, these meteors could drop unique survival items—I’m hoping for something more thrilling than “meteor rock” soup, but we'll see. There’s talk of fresh recipes and, with my luck, ingredients I’ll spend half the event hunting for.
Also, don’t be surprised if brand-new enemies show up, piggybacking on the meteor theme. My friend thinks we’ll get some, and I quote, “extraterrestrial wooden wolves.” Hope not, honestly. The last new enemy nearly wiped my squad and left me explaining to a 12-year-old cousin why a shrub “bit” us.
Why This Update Has Players Buzzing
Honestly, the hype isn’t just about new stuff (though, let’s be real, everyone loves shiny additions). The Meteor Shower event changes survival strategies—because suddenly, “looking at the sky” becomes as vital as “don’t drink the pond water.” Players are already swapping tips on Discord about where to camp for the best loot drops. Some insist on “open field” strategies, and others? They’re prepping their classic “hide and hope” routines, which, oddly enough, once won my old group the dubious honor of “last squirrel standing.”
This update actually feels significant—like the devs are giving the regulars something to really dig into, and even casual jump-in-for-a-night types can’t help but be curious. Every time 99 Nights does one of these shake-ups, you get a rush of old friends popping back online, people running wild in chat, and—let’s be honest—a handful of bewildered new players learning (the hard way) that meteors can turn your favorite treehouse into tinder.
Countdown: Is It Live Yet?
As of now, the Meteor Shower update is rolling out—with servers updating in waves. If you’re checking in a bit after the scheduled time, that’s normal. Sometimes there’s a small delay while the devs flip the switch and, apparently, make sure meteors are aiming strictly for in-game forests and not the website servers. Last time, there was a brief lag (cue the Discord memes about “update day traffic jams”), but nothing longer than a power nap.
