99 Nights in the Forest Update [New Classes] – Patch Notes & What's Next
· September 6 — New Classes went live; Biome Refresher moved to history
· September 2 — dev filed the New Classes event for September 5
· August 29 — logged the full Biome Refresher patch notes
99 Nights in the Forest is running New Classes, live since Saturday, September 5, 2026: three new classes, daily quests and fire offerings. More on our hub.
Current update: New Classes (September 5, 2026)
Grandma's Favourite Games filed the Roblox event on August 31 and opened it at 17:00:08 UTC on September 5, describing it as "new classes, daily quests, fire offerings and more". The listing runs to September 12.
The badge API is the harder proof. Three badges were created between 16:22:06 and 16:24:27 UTC on September 5, 36 minutes before the party opened.
| New badge | Requirement (verbatim) | Awards |
|---|---|---|
| Elemental's Quest | Use either poison/ice/fire effects on 50 different enemies | 81,183 |
| Escape Artist's Quest | Have 7 Alpha Wolves chase you at once | 39,832 |
| Woodsman's Quest | Chop down 40 trees in 30 seconds | 23,387 |
Awards as of 05:08 UTC on September 6, 2026. Elemental's runs three and a half times ahead of Woodsman's: elemental kills stack across a normal run, while 40 trees inside 30 seconds is a set piece. The wiki rates the first two at 1.5 stars and the tree one at 2, each paying 6 Diamonds; all three earn a bonsai tree furniture item.
The three new classes
They are Escape Artist, Elemental and Woodsman — not inferred from the badge names. Badge names get promoted into systems that never existed, and this game already shipped a different update called New Classes on February 6, 2026 (Gunslinger, Grenadier, Nightcrawler, Feaster).
Two independent legs hold the roster up. The Fandom Update Log entry naming the three went in at 22:35 UTC on September 5 and survived four later edits by three other editors. Four creators posted class-by-class videos on September 5–6: Mays names all three in one title; Yario, Zinister and Bucket cover them individually.
Prices and perks we can't give you: the wiki's Classes table, last edited at 00:07 UTC on September 6, lists none of the three, and no class pages exist. Classes rotate on a 24-hour stock roll anyway.
gamesV2 stamp still read August 22, 17:31 UTC at our 05:08 UTC check — it never moved for this patch. games/v1 reads September 5, 18:08 UTC. Date it from the badges and the event.
What it changes for players
Class picks reshuffle loadouts, so our best weapons ranking and tier list are the pages to re-read once perks are confirmed. The early camp loop is untouched, so our beginner's guide still holds.
Players came back for it. Across 26 radar samples from August 29 to 13:30 UTC on September 5, 2026 — all pre-launch — the median was 195,829 concurrent players, range 108,615 to 324,900. Since launch: 257,341 at 19:30 UTC on September 5 and 206,316 at 01:30 UTC on September 6, up 40% and 14% on the same clock slots a day earlier.
Same pull at 05:08 UTC on September 6, 2026: 225,375 in game, 29,417,504,061 visits, 9,434,378 favourites, 90.48% like ratio.
Are there any codes in this update?
No. As of September 6, 2026 the wiki's active list is unchanged — afterparty, forestwakesup26 and the chat-triggered yay fishing — and the event listing mentions none. Our codes page has the list and redeem steps.
