Tower Defense Simulator Event Schedule & Dates

Tower Defense Simulator (TDS) rotates through seasonal and limited-time events throughout the year. The exact schedule is not fixed in advance; instead, the developers announce events on the official Discord and in-game, typically aligning with major holidays and game updates. This article explains how the event schedule works, what to expect, and how to stay informed.

How the Event Schedule Works

TDS events are not on a strict calendar. The developers (Paradoxum Games) release events alongside major updates, often tied to real-world holidays like Halloween, Christmas, and Easter. Each event usually introduces a new map, a limited-time game mode, and exclusive towers or skins. The duration varies: some last two weeks, others a full month. Between events, the game runs normal modes (e.g., Fallen, Hardcore) with no special theme.

Current and Upcoming Events (as of 2024)

As of late 2024, the most recent major event was the Halloween 2024 event, which ran from late October through November. It featured the “Nightmare” map and the return of the Pumpkin Bomb tower. The next expected event is the Christmas 2024 event, typically starting mid-December and running into early January. No official dates are announced far in advance; the developers usually give a week’s notice via Discord and Twitter.

Past Event Schedule History

2024: Easter (April), Summer (June-July), Halloween (Oct-Nov), Christmas (Dec-Jan).
2023: Valentine’s (Feb), St. Patrick’s (Mar), Easter (Apr), Summer (Jul), Halloween (Oct), Christmas (Dec).
2022: Similar pattern, with the addition of the “Lunar Overture” event in February.

Events are not always annual; some are one-off, like the “TDS x Anime” crossover in 2023. Always check the in-game news board for the most current info.

How to Stay Informed

Join the official Discord server – all announcements are posted there first.
Follow the developers on Twitter/X – they post teasers and dates.
Check the in-game news – a board near the spawn shows current and upcoming events.
Watch the Roblox event page – sometimes TDS events are cross-promoted.

Common Problems and Misconceptions

Many players think events are on a fixed annual schedule, but they are not. For example, the 2024 Summer event started later than in 2023. Another misconception is that event towers are permanently unlocked; most are only available during the event, though some return in later events. If an event is delayed, it’s usually due to development issues – the developers communicate these on Discord.

Comparing Event Types

There are two main event types: seasonal (holiday-themed) and collaboration (with other games or brands). Seasonal events typically last longer and introduce a full new map. Collaboration events are shorter and often feature exclusive skins or towers based on the collab. Both reward event currency that can be spent on limited items.

Costs and Rewards

Events are free to participate in – you just need to play the game. However, some event items can be purchased with Robux (premium currency). For example, the Halloween 2024 event had a purchasable gamepass that gave double event currency. Most rewards, like the event towers, are earned through gameplay, not money.

Safety and Fair Play

During events, beware of scammers offering “free event towers” – they are phishing. Only trade through official systems. Also, avoid using exploits; the developers ban accounts that use them during events. Stick to official channels for event info.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the next TDS event?

The next event is typically announced 1-2 weeks before it starts. Check the Discord or in-game news. As of now, Christmas 2024 is expected in mid-December.

How long do TDS events last?

Most events last between 2 to 4 weeks. Seasonal events like Christmas often run for a full month. Collaboration events are usually shorter, around 2 weeks.

Do event towers carry over to the next event?

No, event towers are exclusive to their event. However, some popular ones (like the Pumpkin Bomb) have returned in later events. Check the event shop for what’s available.

Can I get event items after the event ends?

Usually no, but some items become tradable. The developers sometimes bring back old event items in a “vault” during special occasions, but this is rare.

Is there a schedule for all events in 2025?

No, the developers have not released a 2025 schedule. They prefer to announce events as they approach, to keep the player base engaged.
