##### Key New Features

- Map Editor!

- We are so excited to release the Map Editor, in planning for 2 years and in active development this whole year. Bloons has a long history of player created content and we are delighted to add Map creation and sharing to BTD6 in the most robust and in-game format ever available! We stretched to include as much capability as possible in this first release, and we already have a long wishlist for future updates, and we’ll temper that after seeing what incredible creations you come up with and the top features you’d like to see included in updates. Have fun and please share your creativity with your friends and the whole community!
- Other player’s custom maps can be played right from level 20 when the Content Browser opens up
- Find the Map Editor via the Edit Map button inside Play Social, or from the Create button in the Content Browser Maps tab
- Don’t be surprised - there is an unlock gate for Map Editor. At player rank 50 Map Creation can be unlocked for 6000 Monkey Money (same ballpark as the top Hero skins and fully grindable), or directly via IAP (on platforms that have IAP), which we included in response to players looking for more ways to support the game and future updates. The rank unlock helps ensure that players have a reasonable understanding of the game and how map obstacles and difficulty work before they get to work creating their own.
- Most importantly, Map Editor works on all platforms and devices. We’ve never been able to provide an editor this robust in-game and on all devices before, so we’re thrilled to offer this level of creative control on all devices including phones.
- Please see more details about the Map Editor features and scope below!

##### New Awesome

- New Hero Skin - Book Wyrm Etienne

- Switching out drones for dragons seems like a pretty awesome thing to do. A favorite of the team, channeling many of our book-devouring nerdy pasts (and presents!), Book Wyrm celebrates the power of imagination that has led most of us to make and play games.

- New (Revenge) Map - Dark Path

- Continuing the BTD tradition of more challenging versions of favorite maps that started with Rink Revenge 10 years ago, Dark Path takes the pristine triple back park setting and flips both the Bloon path and the placeable areas on their heads. Revenge is most sweet when served dark!
