Phasmophobia events and updates for 2025: Easter, Halloween, and holiday haunts

The Blood Moon in Phasmophobia, it's bright red with a summoning circle underneath.

The Phasmophobia 2025 roadmap promised Easter, Halloween, and Holiday seasonal events would return this year with feedback implemented from its 2024 celebrations, along with new major patches like the Chronicle update. We've already seen some of that with changes to its Easter event, the Cursed Hollow, which added auto-claim for rewards, more personal goodies, and a map rotation.

To keep up with the rest of the year's haunting event schedule, we're always watching and waiting—hoping for a sign from the Blood Moon cult—and plan to record any release date evidence or speculation below.

When is the Phasmophobia Chronicle update?

The Phasmophobia Chronicle update launched on Tuesday, June 24, 2025.

Chronicle is one of the two major game updates outlined in Kinetic's roadmap for the year, with another "Player Character Overhaul" in the pipeline for later. I had the chance to do a little early ghost hunting myself in a Chronicle update preview, and wound up haunted by some awfully talkative ghosties showing off the game's new sounds.

When is the next Phasmophobia seasonal event?

The next Phasmophobia seasonal event should bring back the Blood Moon Cult sometime in October. For now, we only know it begins in its usual spooky month to kick off around Halloween, but we'll keep watching for any confirmed dates.

And while they don't count as a seasonal event per se, you can score Phasmophobia Twitch Drops by connecting your Twitch account through the in-game menu. You'll need to watch two hours of Phasmophobia streams on Twitch between June 24 to July 15 to get the special ID card and badge.

Upcoming Phasmophobia events and updates in 2025

Ghost Hunters typically don't get much notice before a Phas event begins, but we can at least speculate based on teases and historical hauntings of years past. So far, we've seen the Cursed Hollow in April, but can only speculate on a timeline for the other holidays. We'll keep the usuals, plus any updates or extras like Phasmophobia Twitch Drops, outlined below.

Event/Update

Dates

Cursed Hollow (Easter)

April 17 - May 7

Chronicle Update

Aside from those seasonal events, Phasmophobia also has one more major update planned for 2025, simply titled the Player Character Overhaul for now. There's also a rework to Grafton Farmhouse on the way, plus a "new small map" mentioned in the roadmap.

There's no going back to collect some old rewards, but keeping track of historic haunts is helping in predicting any upcoming ghost activity. Or it's just a nice way to double-check your trophy cabinet and mourn the empty spaces.
