Today is October 1, which means the Roblox Headless Horseman bundle is due back on the Avatar Shop right on schedule, the same release date it held last year. That part is close to a sure thing. What's less certain is the Halloween event forming around it: leak trackers have spent the past week piecing together a skull teaser, a placeholder game called "Orange," and two unreleased test maps from developer studio Twin Atlas. Here's what's actually confirmed, what's still a leak, and what the item itself will cost you.
⚡ Quick Answer
The Headless Horseman bundle returns to the Roblox Avatar Shop on October 1 for 31,000 Robux, matching its 2025 return date and price. A separate Halloween event is not yet officially confirmed by name, but a Roblox teaser video and a placeholder game called "Orange" strongly suggest one is coming this month.
Headless Horseman: Price and Return Date
The Headless Horseman is sold directly by Roblox itself through the Avatar Shop, not by a game or a community creator, and it has returned every October since 2013 with only minor timing changes. Last year it went live on October 1, 2025 and stayed available through roughly November 1. (Dexerto, 2025)
Pricing has held steady at 31,000 Robux for years, which works out to roughly 387 US dollars depending on the Robux package you buy it through. A few recap videos have rounded that down to 30,000 in passing, but the figure confirmed across the Roblox Wiki's catalog history and multiple 2025 price trackers is 31,000.

📊 Key Stat: 31,000 Robux has been the Headless Horseman's price every year it's returned since at least 2015, with its only discounts coming from unrelated Memorial Day sales, not Halloween. (Roblox Fandom Wiki)
In my experience tracking this item every fall, the worst mistake is waiting until mid-October to buy it. It's a flat Avatar Shop price, not an auction, so there's no benefit to waiting, and the listing has disappeared without warning in past years when Roblox decided the window was over.
The Official Teaser and the Skull Clue
Separate from the Headless Horseman, leak trackers have been following a skull asset that first showed up behind the Dominus stand at the end of The Hunt: Roblox 20. Roblox then posted a short teaser using that same skull model, which is the closest thing to an official nod that a Halloween event is coming.
Worth flagging since it's easy to miss: different leak channels have transcribed this caption with slightly different punctuation, some adding "but" and a question mark at the end. The underlying point doesn't change either way, Roblox is acknowledging The Hunt wrapping up while implying the season isn't done, but treat the exact wording as approximate until Roblox posts it as on screen text rather than spoken audio.
The "Orange" Listing and Twin Atlas Test Maps
This is where confirmed fact ends and leak territory begins. Community leak groups say a new, mostly empty game called "Orange" has been uploaded under the official Roblox Presents directory, carrying the same puzzle skull model on a central pedestal. Separately, they point to Twin Atlas, a real Roblox development studio previously tied to major event hubs, having created two placeholder test places named "Plumbing" and "Business Operations" that reportedly contain unfinished grey box environments.

⚠️ Important: None of this is independently verifiable from outside Roblox's own developer tools, since private test places aren't publicly browsable. Treat "Orange," "Plumbing," and "Business Operations" as community-sourced leaks, not confirmed event names, until Roblox's own channels use them.
Assuming an event is coming, the community is split on format, and both options have real precedent on Roblox:
Format
How It Worked Last Time
Hunt Style
A large secret hunting progression across many games, as seen in The Hunt: First Edition and The Hunt: Roblox 20.
Spotlight Style
Clear individual badges in a rotating set of featured games to exchange for event items, as seen in Winter Spotlight and 2024's The Haunt.
Worth noting: a chunk of the community's reaction to 2024's The Haunt was that it leaned too heavily on an avatar costume contest rather than actual gameplay, a complaint that shows up again in this new leak video. If Twin Atlas is really building the hub, that past criticism is likely part of why a badge collection format gets considered at all instead of just repeating The Haunt's structure outright.

We're still tracking this one as it develops. If you want the earlier half of this leak trail, including the "Pumpkin" codename and the Riddling Skull easter egg inside The Hunt: Roblox 20's final area, that's covered in our earlier Halloween 2026 leak roundup.

Frequently Asked Questions
When does the Headless Horseman come back in 2026?
It's scheduled for October 1, 2026, matching its October 1, 2025 return date from last year. Roblox has kept this item on a consistent yearly October window since 2013, typically staying available through early November.
How much does the Headless Horseman bundle cost?
31,000 Robux, a price that's held steady across multiple years of returns. It's sold directly by Roblox through the Avatar Shop, not through a specific game, so the price doesn't fluctuate by server or event.
Is the Roblox Halloween 2026 event officially confirmed?
Only a teaser video is officially confirmed so far. The event's name, start date, and format are still community leaks based on a skull teaser, a placeholder game called "Orange," and test maps tied to developer studio Twin Atlas.
Will the Halloween event be like The Hunt or like Spotlight?
Nobody knows yet. Leak trackers see it going either way: a large secret hunting progression like The Hunt, or a rotating badge collection format like Winter Spotlight and 2024's The Haunt. Both have real precedent on the platform.
Bottom Line
The Headless Horseman is the one piece of this story you can act on today: 31,000 Robux, Avatar Shop, live from October 1. Everything else, the skull teaser, "Orange," and the Twin Atlas test maps, is a real and fast moving leak trail, but it's still a leak trail. We'll update this page the moment Roblox's own channels name the event.
