This page tracks Retro Tower Defense changes only when a source establishes what changed. Roblox currently identifies Universe 7738524573, root Place 98936097545088, and the title [FORSAKEN COLLAB] Retro Tower Defense. The Games API shows an official record update on August 24, 2026, but a timestamp alone does not reveal patch contents.
Current official status
The verified creator is Plaything Games, Roblox group 25. The live description confirms Towers, Trading, Tix, EXP, Casual, Normal, Hard, Endless, Missions, Skins, Events, Crossroads, Doomspire, supported devices, and the strings RETRO, FREETIX, and NEW.
The title’s Forsaken label and three official collaboration badges establish the active collaboration context. Exact event shop items, map roster, currency, and deadline are not exposed by the Games API and must be checked in the current game or a developer-owned announcement.
How to read an update record
An official updated time means Roblox stored a change to the Experience record. It does not say whether the developer changed gameplay, a description, an icon, access settings, localization, or another field. This page never turns that timestamp into an invented patch note.
A detailed change enters the timeline only when an official description, badge, event listing, developer announcement, or reproducible in-game comparison identifies it. Community guides can corroborate mechanics, but their claims are labeled and linked instead of being presented as Plaything Games notes.
Current player actions
If you are returning during the collaboration, open Forsaken Collab and Forsaken Badges before starting a grind. For evergreen systems, use Units, Traits, Modes, Maps, or Trading. This keeps the update page concise while the canonical guide owns the full route.
Redeem only codes shown by a current official source or clearly marked community evidence. The Codes hub records the live official-description strings and leaves rewards unconfirmed until a current redemption establishes them.
Timeline
2026-08-24 - Official Roblox game record updated
Type: Official status signal
Roblox’s Games API reports updated: 2026-08-24T12:39:00.4869624Z for Universe 7738524573. The same record shows the current Forsaken collaboration title and feature description.
- This proves the official Experience record changed on that timestamp.
- It does not identify a balance change, patch list, banner rotation, or event extension.
- Check the live menu and developer channels before assigning a mechanic to this timestamp.

2026-08-21 - Forsaken badge conditions updated
Type: Official event evidence
The official Badge API updated Home Turf, Clean Sweep, and Home Run on August 21. Their descriptions define three Classic Mode objectives across Forsaken maps and name the skins delivered in Forsaken.
- Home Turf requires three wins on any Forsaken map, any difficulty, with modifiers allowed.
- Clean Sweep requires every Forsaken map on Normal with no modifiers.
- Home Run requires every Forsaken map on Hard with no modifiers.

2026-07-11 - Traits and Secrets community update record
Type: Community reported system milestone
Current RTD community records describe Wanda’s Trait Store beside the Summon shop and date a Traits and Secrets update to July 11, 2026. No public Plaything Games patch archive was found to reproduce a complete official change list.
- Use the live trait card for names, effects, odds, and reroll behavior.
- Treat codes and exact reroll rewards from community pages as time-sensitive.
- The Traits hub explains how to test role fit without relying on a copied percentage table.

2026-01-30 - Endless Possibilites badge updated
Type: Official historical event evidence
The official Endless Possibilites badge says “Complete the Endless event” and was updated January 30, 2026. This confirms the event’s existence. The current official Experience description still names infinite Endless Mode, supporting a distinction between the lasting mode and historical event rewards.
- Use Endless Mode for current play.
- Use Endless Event for the historical pass, currency, skins, and remaining uncertainty.
- Do not assume the old event shop is active because the badge remains enabled.

What is not a patch note
A concurrent-player change, favorite count, visit count, search snippet, video upload, wiki edit, or trade-value movement can signal community interest. It does not prove a game patch. Similarly, an old code working for one account does not establish a new update date.
Screenshots need an origin and UTC date. A menu image can document what one server displayed, but it should not be generalized to every server until the rollout is stable. When servers disagree, rejoin a current public instance and keep the difference marked as a rollout observation.
Update-sensitive guide checklist
After a confirmed change, recheck banner availability and rates, tower cards, trait text, mode rules, map selector, event schedule, trade restrictions, skin availability, code redemption, and badge progress. Update the canonical guide rather than duplicating a full mechanic table here.
For balance changes, record before and after values on the same tower tier and current server. For event changes, record the source, timestamp, timezone, and whether the information comes from a developer, Roblox listing, live UI, or community report.
Report a discrepancy safely
Provide the page URL, claim, current in-game text, UTC check time, device, and server freshness. Hide account names, trade histories, payment information, and private messages. A reproducible correction is more useful than a cropped image without context.
Do not send login credentials, cookies, two-factor codes, or recovery information to anyone claiming to verify an update. Official game changes do not require external account access.
Frequently asked questions
What is the latest Retro Tower Defense update?
The latest official Roblox record timestamp is August 24, 2026. The timestamp does not disclose patch contents; the current title and badge evidence support the Forsaken collaboration state.
Where are the full patch notes?
No complete public Plaything Games patch-note archive was found during the August 25 check. Use developer-owned notices and the live game, and treat community summaries as labeled corroboration.
Why does this page link to other guides?
An update entry establishes a dated change. The canonical Units, Traits, Modes, Maps, Trading, Skins, and Events pages own the maintained gameplay instructions, preventing conflicting duplicate advice.
