Once Human's Golden Autumn Harvest and Frames of Wonder end October 14, 2026, in server time. Check your event progress and claim unlocked rewards before that deadline. The next update is scheduled for October 21, but several announced improvements still have separate or unconfirmed delivery dates.

Check the autumn rewards you can still claim

Golden Autumn Harvest gives one Golden Leaf daily at 6 AM server time. Collecting enough unlocks permanent weapon cosmetics and a selectable Deviation box with level and stability both rated 5. Its choices include the returning Labrador, Blackback and Doberman Deviations.

Frames of Wonder unlocks daily photo check-ins at the same server refresh. Rewards include Epic Stardust Secret Crates, expressions and avatars. Event Island also offers animal riding and the Chaoshan Beef Hot Pot recipe. Rewards from both events are shared across characters on the same account.

The announcement gives October 14 as the end date without specifying an exact cutoff hour. Check the in-game countdown and your remaining requirements. It also does not confirm a catch-up method for late starters, so do not assume every reward is still within reach. Claim completed rewards early rather than relying on a final-day session.

Isles of Abyss has an update time, but no verified opening hour

The announced next update starts October 21 at 4 PM Pacific. That maintenance appointment falls at these local times:

US Pacific: October 21, 4 PM PDT. US Eastern: October 21, 7 PM EDT.

UK: October 22, midnight BST. Central Europe: October 22, 1 AM CEST.

Sydney and Melbourne: October 22, 10 AM AEDT. UTC: October 21, 11 PM.

These are maintenance start times, not a promise that servers will be playable then. NetEase's Japanese announcement dates the free Isles of Abyss expansion to October 22 across PC, mobile, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. The different calendar dates are consistent with the time-zone rollover, but an exact reopening hour still needs confirmation.

The new ocean survival scenario and an Isles of Abyss RaidZone map are announced. Complete final rules have not been verified for this article. The closed test ended October 8, and its announcement explicitly warned that test phase lengths were not the final scenario cycle. Treat test guides as provisional until the launch notes confirm what carries over.

Use the official Isles of Abyss reservation page to check the current reservation offer. Review its eligibility and claim instructions before assuming a reward is attached to your account.

The mod overhaul still has no rollout date

Starry Studio considered a control that would let players decide when Mod Guarantee triggers. It rejected that approach because another switch could add complexity and cause losses when players forgot to change it.

The studio instead plans a wider progression redesign: fewer ineffective numerical components and Mod types, smaller numerical gaps between players, and tougher final challenges. Mod Guarantee acquisition changes are intended to arrive alongside that work. The developer has not announced the finalized plan or timetable.

There are no verified conversion rules or compensation details to base a resource decision on. Keep an undated redesign out of your October 21 plans until the studio confirms it. The weekly Starchrom cap is also under evaluation; an increase is not promised.

Backpack recycling and Nimble have different targets

Using the recycling tool directly from the backpack is expected in October. Meta Hotline Vol. 10 leaves the specific release date to a future update announcement. It has not been confirmed as an October 21 feature.

The Beastmaster Nimble trait has a more specific target. The September 23 developer notice says its effect failed to match expectations in testing and aims to fix it in the October 21 update. That remains a repair target, with no revised trait values supplied. The planned tag-button Beast Whistle shortcut is scheduled separately for November 4.

For now, finish the autumn activities that matter to you and collect the rewards already unlocked. Before your ocean session, check the final update notes for server opening, scenario rules and which fixes actually ship.
