September 2026 Update - Retro Tower Defense
September 2026 Retro Tower Defense update: post-Forsaken Collab period, new event cycle beginning mid-September, updated codes, and fall seasonal teases.
Last updated: September 2026
September 2026 Overview
September 2026 marks a transitional period for Retro Tower Defense following the conclusion of the Forsaken Collab on September 4. The Forsaken Collab brought significant content including new maps, towers, and the TRAITS+SECRETS code system that introduced trait rerolls to the game.
As of mid-September 2026, Plaything Games has not announced the next major seasonal event, but community speculation points toward a potential fall/Halloween theme based on typical Roblox event cycles and the games seasonal pattern of releases.
This page tracks all September 2026 developments including code drops, balance changes, new tower additions, and any mid-month event announcements from Plaything Games official channels.
Post-Forsaken Collab Status
The Forsaken Collab ended on September 4, 2026, with all event codes expiring simultaneously. This created a brief period with no active codes—the first time since the collab began that RoCodes reported an empty active list.
During the August 21 – September 4 event window, players had access to codes including 1stBirthday (Birthday 1x1x1x1 skin), FREETIX, NEW, RETRO, V3RT, GULLIBLE, and character-specific codes like TELAMON, DUSEKKAR, 1X1X1X1, BLOXXER, and JOHNDOE.
The Forsaken Collab introduced several lasting additions to the game: the Void map series, the Chance tower mechanics, Forsaken Token currency, and the trait reroll system that allows players to optimize their tower passives.
Current Game Meta
The current meta continues to center on established S-tier towers: Mage for AoE magical damage output, Noli for single-target boss burst, and Helper Bot for team-wide damage amplification. These three form the core of most competitive loadouts.
With the introduction of trait rerolls, players can now optimize their tower passives beyond initial pulls. The meta has shifted toward maximizing trait synergy with primary DPS units rather than simply acquiring new Heroic towers.
Support towers like Rocket for debuffs and Tycoon for economy remain essential for high-difficulty content. The balance between DPS, support, and economy slots continues to be the defining strategic decision for players pushing into Hard and Insane modes.
September 2026 Code Outlook
Historical patterns suggest Plaything Games typically releases new codes within days of major patches. With no announced events as of mid-September, players should monitor official Plaything Games Discord and social channels for surprise code drops.
Community managers like @WhoseTrade on X often provide real-time code notifications, making them valuable follow targets for players who want to maximize Tix income through codes rather than grinding.
Bookmark this page and check back regularly. The RTD Wiki updates within 48 hours of any new code becoming public, making it a reliable source for the latest working codes.
What to Focus On This Month
Without active event codes, focus on Tycoon farming on Crossroads to build Tix reserves. The upcoming October Halloween event traditionally brings new codes and limited-time content, so accumulating resources now will position you well for the next event cycle.
Use the trait reroll system strategically. If you pulled a Heroic tower with an off-role passive, rerolling can significantly improve its contribution to your loadout without needing to acquire additional copies.
Participate in any Community Challenges or server-wide events that may pop up mid-month. These often provide bonus Tix, cosmetics, or other rewards independent of the code system.
