Merkado Updates & Events

Merkado launched on 24 September 2026 as a Filipino palengke (wet market) stall simulator from Lokalidad Studio. Players run a six-person server stall, sell seafood, meat, and vegetables, bargain with tawad, extend utang credit, restock, and expand. Growth since launch has been fast: the experience crossed two million visits, and the studio continues to ship milestone codes, seasonal cosmetics, and quality-of-life fixes. This Updates Hub summarizes the release arc, visit celebrations, Halloween 2026, and Pets-related rewards so you know what changed and which codes still matter.

For live redeem lists, always cross-check the Codes Hub. For day-one systems after a long break, use the Guides Hub and Getting Started.

Launch — September 2026

Lokalidad Studio released Merkado on Roblox on 24 September 2026 (place 89720771756768, universe 10767892590). The core fantasy was clear from day one: you are not a generic tycoon button-masher; you are tending a wet-market stall with Filipino flavor. Early players learned to:

• Stock mixed categories so customers with different shopping lists still buy.
• Negotiate tawad without accepting every lowball.
• Decide when utang helps regulars versus when it freezes Cash.
• Expand displays only after restock loops feel stable.

The official starter code MERKADO (2,000 Cash) helped new vendors open with a buffer. That code remains a staple on the active list for anyone who skipped it at launch.

Visit milestone wave

As visits climbed, Lokalidad Studio celebrated with Cash codes tied to thresholds. Community tracking captured drops around 70K, 500K, 600K, and 700K visits. Those codes—70KVISITS, 500KVISITS, 600KVISITS, and 700KVISITS—are expired and listed on the Codes Hub only so players stop hunting dead social posts.

The standout later milestone is 1 million visits, celebrated with 1MILVISITS: 100,000 Cash plus a Money Potion. That package remains one of the strongest active claims for new and returning players. Combined with organic sales, it funds aggressive restocks and early expansion without weeks of grind.

Milestone cadence teaches a useful habit: whenever Merkado’s visit counter jumps again, check the Roblox game description and this wiki the same day. Visit codes rarely last forever.

Halloween 2026 event

Halloween 2026 brought a seasonal code and cosmetics. HALLOWEEN26 grants 10,000 Cash and the Witch Broom. The event also ties into consumables such as the Candy Corn Potion, which appears in the PETS code bundle alongside Cash and a Money Potion. Seasonal windows are the best time to grab cosmetics you will not see in the normal shop rotation.

Play tips during Halloween weeks:

1. Redeem HALLOWEEN26 and PETS early so potions are ready for busy evening servers. If a community site marks HALLOWEEN26 expired, still try once in-game—the official description has continued to list it in our Nov 2026 checks—then trust the toast.
2. Keep shelves full; event traffic often raises customer volume (Restock Inventory).
3. Do not blow the entire Cash pile on cosmetics—restock first, flair second.
4. Watch for post-event cleanup patches that tweak UI or remove temporary stands.
5. Deep seasonal walkthrough: Halloween Event.

Pets-related rewards (November 2026 wave)

The PETS code remains a highlight of the November 2026 promo wave: 50,000 Cash, a Candy Corn Potion, and a Money Potion. Even if you are not chasing pet cosmetics specifically, the Cash and potions are broadly useful for stall economy—especially when paired with Halloween rush hours. Treat Pets drops as economy support first and collection second. Redeem via Settings (see How to Redeem Codes), then convert Cash into restocks before you burn potions. When Lokalidad Studio expands pet gameplay further, expect follow-up notes here and fresh codes on the description page.

Ongoing Lokalidad Studio updates

Beyond big named events, Merkado receives ongoing maintenance: balance passes on product margins, fixes for serve or restock UI edge cases, and small content adds that keep the palengke feeling alive. Studio communication typically lands on the Roblox game page, group wall, and social channels. This wiki consolidates player-facing highlights so you do not have to reconstruct history from scattered posts.

When an update changes tawad prompts, supplier prices, or utang rules, re-read the relevant Guides pages and re-test any personal macros. Automation breaks often after UI tweaks—another reason the Scripts Hub stresses risk and fragility.

What to do after each patch

1. Skim this Updates Hub for headline changes.
2. Redeem any new codes on the Codes Hub.
3. Rejoin a fresh server so client UI matches the build.
4. Verify restock and tawad flows still feel fair before expanding.
5. Update your personal checklist if utang or supplier menus moved.
