Frontier Legends is an upcoming Legend DLC for Bloons TD 6, to be released in version 52.0.[1] It is a Western-themed adventure where the player takes control of a Sheriff and fights gangs of Bloons on a world of hexagonal tiles, like in Rogue Legends. It features minigames,[2] catching fish, watching Bloon races, recruiting posse members, hunting bounties, going after targets on a Most Wanted list,[3] six new Bloon types, a new system for persistent tower and Hero progression, and a custom-named monkey with special traits.[1]
Pre-release
Ninja Kiwi announced Frontier Legends in the update notes of version 47.0, where it was originally named Desperado Legends. It was described as a "highly stylized and replayable" adventure and was planned for release in the middle of the year, in the same year as Runic Legends.[3] It was planned to release alongside the Desperado, but the DLC was delayed until the end of 2025 to allow more content to be added to Rogue Legends, and it was renamed to Frontier Legends to separate it from the Desperado.[4]
In version 47.0, in addition to the release of Rogue Legends, the menu for Legends had a second page teasing Frontier Legends with an image of a cowboy hat on a cactus. In version 49.0, the image and description were changed to give more details about Frontier Legends.
On 2 November 2025, Ninja Kiwi released a short teaser video about Frontier Legends on YouTube and TikTok, titled "Travel to the Frontier, Enjoy the View, It's perfectly safe!"[5] It features a location named Boulder Falls, a monkey character with Rosalia's Border Collie Pet, Kora following them, and an objective named "Find the monkey in trouble". On 5 November 2025, Ninja Kiwi released a second teaser video titled "Enjoy Monkey Meadows!" revealing a location named Monkey Meadows, an interface for the fishing minigame, and an objective named "Talk to Scout".[6] On 12 November 2025, a third teaser video titled "Enjoy a late night stroll!" was released showing the monkey strolling around a stylized version of the altar in Encrypted with Geraldo Pack Mule Pet with a barely visible Black Bloon with a white hat moving outside the altar.[7]
Also, on 12 November 2025, Ninja Kiwi posted on Reddit a preview of the recruiting system while asking for western-themed names[8], it shows a Saloon with several Tower models and a stylized NPC Monkey. The recruit menu shows the Towers in the Saloon as "Hands to Hire" where they can be recruited by paying a certain amount of a banana-shaped currency. Also a "Heroes to Hire" menu is also available but was not shown in the teaser. Each Tower has a given name, a bar that resembles some kind of energy and three "Traits" which seem to be passive buffs that that hire possesses which include dealing extra damage, pop specific types of Bloons or setting them on fire. The available towers can be refreshed by waiting 10 minutes or by paying some currency.
