Ending October 31-November 1
When does the Disney Dreamlight Valley Halloween event end?
Gameloft’s posts give October 31 for both the Haunted Floating Festival (since October 7) and Trick or Treat (since October 14). On October 31 the candy bowls appear every hour instead of every 24 hours, so that’s the day to farm candy. Oogie Boogie is different. Gameloft says you only need to start his first quest before November 4, then you can finish it at your own pace. Puzzle solutions are in our Dreamlight Valley Halloween guide.
When does Fortnitemares 2026 end?
Epic’s Fortnitemares 2026 notes say the event is “running until November 1.” The Override Battle Pass page says it “Ends November 1, 2026 Eastern Time.” Epic hasn’t posted an hour. At our check, Epic’s status page had no downtime listed yet for the v43.00 Treasure Hunters update. Guides that say October 31 or a fixed hour are guessing, so finish your quests on Halloween to be safe. Quests and rewards are in our Fortnitemares 2026 guide, and our Fortnite server status page will show the November 1 downtime once Epic schedules it.
When does Palia’s Spiritfest end?
Palia’s October 27 patch 0.208 says the Ghastly Jaakcats keep dropping Tattered Cloth “until Spiritfest ends on November 1.” The 0.207 notes had already said the event runs “through the end of October (independent of patch cycles).” No hour is given, so finish the Bulletin Board and spend your Ectoplasm at the Spooky Moon Store before November 1.
When does Pokémon GO Halloween Part 1 end?
Niantic’s Part I post gives Sunday, November 1, at 10:00 a.m. local time. Claim the Part I Timed Research rewards before then. That’s 15:00 UTC on the US East Coast, because the clocks will already have gone back that morning. Part II then begins right away (see below), and our Pokémon GO Halloween 2026 guide covers Part 1.
Ending November 2
World of Warcraft Hallow’s End
Blizzard’s October 23 WoW Weekly lists Hallow’s End as running October 19-November 2. No hour is given, so plan to finish its daily activities and achievements by November 1.
When does the Overwatch Halloween event end?
Blizzard’s Season 5 article gives October 6-November 2 for Mystery Madness: Graveyard Games, the Halloween mode where you gain powers each time you die. The October 6 patch notes list a slightly later date for the Halloween versions of Hollywood, Lijiang Tower and Château Guillard: “available now through November 3rd in all queues.” Treat November 2 as the deadline for the event’s challenges and Offerings.
Warframe Nights of Naberus
Digital Extremes’ Halloween 2026 post says both Nights of Naberus and the Hallowed Nightmares Tactical Alert run until November 2 at 11 a.m. ET. With the clock change, that’s 16:00 UTC. Trade Mother Tokens for the seasonal items and finish the Jack O’Naut alert before then.

Rainbow Six Siege Doktor’s Curse
Ubisoft’s event post says Doktor’s Curse runs from October 15 to November 2. Claim the free Event Pack before it ends.
Ending November 3
When does Dead by Daylight’s Halloween event end?
The date you’ll see everywhere isn’t confirmed. Behaviour’s community team announced Haunted by Daylight on the official forums on October 13. The post explains this year’s changes (the Void is gone, and Void Portal energy can now trigger jump scares) but gives no end date. The “November 3” date comes from the wiki and community guides. Behaviour’s own 2022 event guide ran October 13 to November 3, which may be where the date started. We found no end date in Behaviour’s recent X posts or Steam notes. If you’re chasing Dark Trinkets, assume November 3 and check the in-game event timer. Also on our radar: Chucky leaves Dead by Daylight on November 24.
Apex Legends Blood Pact
EA’s Blood Pact post says “The Blood Pact Event runs from October 13 to November 3.” No hour is given. That covers the Beasts vs. Demons Wildcard mode on haunted Kings Canyon and the Blood Pact Store.

Guild Wars 2 Shadow of the Mad King
ArenaNet’s launch post says “The haunting lasts until November 3.” The Gem Store’s 20% Halloween discount, including the Witch’s Outfit, ends the same day. The Mad King’s Labyrinth, Clock Tower and Ascent to Madness all leave with the festival.
Sea of Thieves Festival of the Damned
Rare’s October roadmap lists the Festival of the Damned from Tuesday, October 27 to Tuesday, November 3. The Pirate Emporium Halloween sale (up to 30% off) runs October 28-November 3.
Ending later in November
When does Pokémon GO Halloween Part 2 end?
Niantic’s Part II post gives Sunday, November 1, 10:00 a.m. to Thursday, November 5, 8:00 p.m. local time. That’s 01:00 UTC on November 6 for US Eastern and 04:00 UTC for US Pacific. GO Pass: Halloween 2026 ends at the same time, and Niantic says unlocked GO Pass rewards expire on Saturday, November 7 at 8:00 p.m. local. Spawns, raids and the day-by-day plan are in our Pokémon GO Halloween Part 2 guide. Raid bosses are in Pokémon GO raids this week.
Marvel Rivals All Hallows’ Glow
NetEase’s Version 20261015 patch notes give “October 15th, 2026, 09:00:00 to November 13th, 2026, 09:00:00 (UTC).” That’s 4:00 a.m. ET on November 13. Event missions earn Rocket Raccoon’s free Trash King costume. That end time also lines up with the expected Season 11 start; see our Marvel Rivals Season 11 release date post.
ARC Raiders Soul’s Offering
Embark’s Live Update 2.3.0 (October 27) added Soul’s Offering as a new player project but gave no end date. The ARC Raiders Wiki lists it as a temporary project running October 27 to November 16. Treat that date as the wiki’s, not Embark’s, and check the in-game project timer. Where to find the trinkets: our ARC Raiders Dead Flowers and Rock Salt guide.
When does the OSRS Halloween event end?
Jagex’s October 28 update post says “snag these rewards before the event ends on November 18th.” Start it by talking to Angel or Henja in Rimmington, and earn the Vampyre costume, monocle and fangs. While it runs, Diango in Draynor Village also hands out every past Halloween reward.

No end date yet: Call of Duty and Palworld
Modern Warfare 4 added two Halloween party modes ahead of Season 1: Possession (October 29) and Infected (October 30), according to Activision’s Season 1 post. Activision hasn’t said when they leave. Season 1 starts at midnight ET on November 6 (05:00 UTC). Palworld has no 2026 Halloween event in Pocketpair’s Steam announcements as of our check, so the “Palworld Halloween event end date” searches have no answer this year.

FAQ
Do Halloween events end at midnight?
Rarely. Warframe ends at 11 a.m. ET and Marvel Rivals at 09:00 UTC. Date-only events usually close at a daily reset or maintenance, so finish a day early.
Does the November 1 clock change affect event end times?
Only if you convert from US time. UTC times don’t move. From November 1, an “11 a.m. ET” end is 16:00 UTC instead of 15:00 UTC. Pokémon GO runs on your local time, so its 10:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. ends stay the same on your phone.
Which Halloween event lasts the longest in 2026?
Of the games here, Old School RuneScape’s Halloween Event 2026 lasts longest (until November 18), followed by the ARC Raiders Soul’s Offering project (November 16, per the wiki) and Marvel Rivals’ All Hallows’ Glow (November 13).
Is the Dead by Daylight Halloween event ending November 3?
Probably, but Behaviour hasn’t confirmed it in writing. The November 3 date comes from the wiki and community guides. Check the in-game event timer.
