Checked October 13, 2026. No story spoilers. Haunted by Daylight has not been cancelled. What disappears in 2026 is the separate Void Realm players used to enter through Rifts. Event coverage gives October 13 through November 3 as the dates.
The old realm was not merely a spooky background. Behaviour's official 2023 guide described a distinct area reached by collecting Void Energy and opening Rifts. Inside, players found no ordinary generators or pallets. For some fans, stumbling into that unsettling detour was the highlight of the Halloween event.
The 2026 redesign keeps Rifts but changes their destination. According to coverage published October 4, they open portals between locations on the regular Trial map. That means the extra world is gone for this event, not that every Void-themed mechanic has been wiped away.
The concern is real. An October 12 Reddit discussion includes a surprised question about the Void being removed, followed by fans who say they will miss how it looked. The Halloween fair is open; one favorite haunted attraction is not.
Some commenters speculate about technical clashes with other mechanics. That is fan speculation, not a confirmed reason from the developers. The checked sources also do not promise a 2027 return or declare the realm gone for good.
The short answer: the event continues and the portals remain. The trip into the separate Void Realm does not happen this year.
