Questions from the comments:

Have monkey scientist uncovered the reason why banana trees seem to rapidly produce bananas on short rounds? Are the trees panicking?
The trees aren't panicking but going through short cycles of rapid growth! It takes a lot of care and dedication from farmers to make sure it is done correctly, without endangering the trees!

How does Quincy feel about "nothing gets past my bow" memes?
He enjoys them! Quincy knows they are all in good fun!

How good of a sharp shooter is the…ahem…. Sniper Paragon
IF! There was a [REDACTED] it would be one of the absolute best sharp shooters!

Sniper paragon when?
[REDACTED]

Have the Monkeys ever decided to use biological warfare against the Bloons?
Nothing yet as development of a 100% safe for monkey and environment option has not been completed.

What is the global population in blooniverse.
Billions!

We've heard a lot of Praise about the balloon solver but what about super glue?  surely a substance that can stop moabs in their tracks would be useful outside the battlefield.
Absolutely! So many awesome uses although often temporary! You could even use it as temporary building material, make sure you have some solvent ready to remove it though!

Blitz Full launch is fast approaching, September 30th if you missed it!, and we hope you're all as excited as we are! We totally have not been jumping in on our personal accounts here in New Zealand during work hours, because we are in no way at all obsessed with Blitz! (Or is that just me?)

Questions from the comments:

What are the monkeys favorite bloon to pop?
Red Bloons for the easy W! 

What are the Banana Research Facilities’ research teams researching?
Efficient and ecological banana production, as well as finding new ways to use them!

What is Amelia's favourite monkey tower? 
Might be a little obvious, but she loves watching the wizards work and fight! She loves all things magic!

How do the bloons feel about balloon animals?
A very mixed bag of feelings, the M.I.B has surmised. Reports indicate the Bloons can tell the difference between Bloons and Balloons! 

Are the bloon fish from Frontier Legends related to regular bloons?
A very distant ancestor, maybe. We have not seen any fish-like qualities from the current Bloons, so maybe very, very, very distant.

How do hero skins get designed?
When designing a Hero Skin, we try to look for conceptual and visual themes that fit well into the hero's existing functionality, while presenting an idea that's fun, surprising, and different! Hero skins are fun because it's one of the places we get to recontextualise and explore new sides to the characters. There are always lots of ideas, probably more than we'll ever be able to make. The concept for Firecracker Gwen for instance was around for a good few years before she made it into the game!

Is Book Wyrm Etienne good at speaking High Valyrian?
A little Rusty, but he is very fluent in Sindarin!

Since Admiral Brickell has been confirmed to rank above Navarch, what about Commander Cassie?
Commander Cassie would have to report to the Navarchs, who then report to Admiral Brickell!

What powers all of the deep sea mermonkeys? Just like the ancient tree powers the druids
Ancient abyssal creatures from deepest darkest parts of the ocean! And of course, some natural born Mermonkey talent and ingenuity!

Hey Ninja Kiwi, will any of the heros from spinoff games (Amelia, Zee Jay, Bonnie etc) ever come to the base game?
If you mean adding heroes from BCS and Battles 2 into BTD6, we are not going to say never! Keep in mind that those characters were created with mechanics specific to those games, and while it’s possible that we could design mechanics for BTD6, none of them are in our active plans while we have so many awesome new ideas to bring in!

Was the Super Glue's glue discovered by accident? The real life super glue was invented by accident!
Very similar! It mostly started with ancient monkeys chewing on branches of a particular tree for a snack! That tree was then cultivated for its chewy properties, eventually becoming gum and other adhesives!

Can you give us any clues as to what the next tower will be later this year?
Not this time! You will just have to wait and see!

What's the worst thing the Bloons have done?
Attacked the monkeys! Steal buildings! Insult the laws of physics!

What instruments does Silas love to play? A flute, or a violin?
Would you believe he was a band monkey growing up! He was an excellent trumpet player and often joined Psi’s marching bands!

Looking Forward

We wanted to thank everyone who has been so unbelievably patient with us while our team worked hard on the Nintendo Switch launch, which has now allowed us to bring that work to our other console platforms. This massive content update for Xbox brings the game version all the way up to 54.3 and should give everyone on Xbox plenty to do while we work on what’s next. 

• PlayStation:
  • The next big point of focus for us is bringing this massive update to Playstation! We are well into the content, and as soon as we get through the longer submission and review cycles, we will update PS players when we have a date for the update.
• 55 and beyond:

Once we have brought this update to all three consoles, we will be working on releasing updates 55 and 56 by the end of the year for all 3 console platforms, pending approvals. The consoles will always be a little delayed in terms of update cycles but the effort of getting the console builds onto our main branch means we can plan console updates on a much more regular basis going forward, which by next year should be every 2nd update!
