October preview｜Nightmare vibes & BOX+
After the Sep 29 update, the app icon looks Nightmare-themed. Here’s what’s solid vs rumor, plus how to hold coins and tickets.
Short version: October’s new Tsums are not officially named yet. What did happen on Sep 29 is an update that, per lots of player and guide-site chatter, swapped the app icon into a Nightmare Before Christmas look. That makes a Halloween / Nightmare month feel likely—but it’s still not a press release. No need to empty your Premium BOX tonight.
What’s actually grounded (as of Sep 29)
| Topic | Status |
|---|---|
| New Tsum names | Not announced |
| App icon | Reported Nightmare-style after the update |
| Common read | Possible set Tsums or Nightmare additions (inference) |
| Events / Select / Pickup | Still unknown |
Icon change ≠ confirmed roster. Treat this as a prep note until in-game notices drop.
Jack, Zero, Sally (NBC), and Jack & Sally are already in the encyclopedia—handy if October missions lean Nightmare.
Premium BOX+ roster flip on Oct 1 (listed so far)
Guide roundups say Premium BOX+ usually refreshes at 0:00 on the 1st, and that month’s new Tsums join the pool. Plus Tsums often listed for October include things like:
Mickey+, Donald+, Alice+, Stormtrooper+, Lightning McQueen+, Pluto+, Ariel+, Simba+, Lady Tremaine+, Cruella+, Goofy+, Woody+, Buzz+, Rapunzel+, Daisy+, Sora+, Mabel+, Mandalorian+, Grogu+, Raya+, Jessie+, Tinker Bell+, Marie+
Don’t memorize the table. If you’re opening BOX+ around Oct 1, check the in-game list. Rate-up windows for new Tsums come with the real announcement.
Rumor zone (not official)
- Main event: Halloween theme, or a Villains-challenge style rerun
- Plaza: wishing-star style community events may continue
- End of month: sticker / scratch-style events guessed
- Pickup: hope for older Halloween Tsums returning
- Select: partial Masquerade returns speculated
Fun to talk about; bad reason to spend everything early.
What to do now
- Finish any late-September timed events first
- Park coins and Premium Tickets until the Oct 1 window of news
- Watch in-game notices (and official channels)
- Glance at Nightmare / Halloween Tsums you already own
We’ll add an updated pass once names, dates, and rates are official. Always trust in-game announcements over previews.
