Greetings Terrarians!

Happy Halloween from all of us to all of you! Halloween has always been one of our favorite times of the year - especially when we get to see all of the crazy costumes, creepy decorations, and creative pumpkins that Terrarians put together each year. So, whether you entered the annual Halloween Contest or not... please be sure to share your spookiest creations with us! On the development side of things, we do have some more clarity on timing to share this month. There are still a lot of moving parts involved that could adjust things, but it is starting to feel like we know the general boundaries. More on that in a bit. For now, let's get set to dive into another month of Terraria news...

Trick or treat!

Greetings Terrarians! We have so much to celebrate! Tomorrow will mark the 11th anniversary of the Terraria Community Forums (TCF). Also, this year marks the 10th anniversary of when 1.3 was released. Amazing to think it's been ten years since our friends, the martians, have joined the game. With Halloween coming up we wanted to combine everything everywhere all at once.

No matter what category, this is a Terrarian Martian Halloween contest, so your entry should reflect Terraria and Martians and Halloween for the best...

Greetings Terrarians!

We have one foot already into the Fall season - our favorite season of the year! - and we are drawing ever closer to the release of Terraria 1.4.5. More on that below. We are also getting really close to the release of the Terraria Board Game in November. The end of the year is setting up to be quite eventful indeed! We are also already setting the stage for what lies ahead in 2026 - Terraria's 15th Anniversary year. We hope we can bring some more cool stuff your way as a result of those plans, but that will have to wait for another day. For now, let's dive in to the latest and greatest news in the world of Terraria!

What's in store this time...

Greetings Terrarians!

August was quite an eventful month for Team Terraria. We are well into the final push for Terraria 1.4.5 (for real, more on that below), and tickets are flying through the system. Several members of the team were also able to get together in person this month for the first time in many years - and for the first time ever with some folks. We have also been able to take care of a lot of planning for "what comes next" that will hopefully make for more consistency down the line. More on that in the future. With that said, we are all back home and ready to push this over the line.

Let's get right into it, shall we?

Greetings Terrarians!

Hot enough out there for everyone? Seems like there is nowhere that is safe from the heat wave this summer! More time to stay cool, stay indoors, and play video games, right? On our end, work on Terraria 1.4.5 continues unabated - we think this month's spoiler is a particularly fun one. Still no dates to share, which we know will be disappointing to everyone, but we are doing our very best to get to that day as quickly as possible. That said, again we hope that you enjoy what we have in store for you this month... and hopefully it will not be too much longer before we can give you that launch window.

Let's dive right in and see what's in store this time!

Greetings Terrarians!

Happy summertime everyone! Well, at least in the Northern Hemisphere. All hands remain on deck in regards to Terraria development. To get the tough part out of the way first, we still do not have a release date to give out. Every day is one day closer, of course, but we are trying to remain overly cautious and conservative in regards to giving out any timing. We do not want to repeat the mistake of giving out a timing window and then have things change and it not be accurate. So, we must once again ask for your continued patience as we do the hard work that needs to be done in order to ensure a quality update for everyone. Short of pushing crunch time on the team (which we are not going to do), things are proceeding as fast as they can at this point. With that said, we have a few fun spoilers this month that we hope everyone will enjoy. So, without further ado...

Let's see what is in store this month!

Greetings Terrarians!

May has come and gone already? Time is really flying this year - or maybe it's just us? Terraria turned 14 years old this month, which is crazy to think about - a massive thanks to each and every one of you for your support over the years! Anyway, another month of progress is in the books and the concerted effort (and extra hands on deck) towards tackling tickets is already paying off. Our rate of working through these has accelerated noticeably. There is still a good ways to go, but we are very pleased with the pace. We know that everyone is desperately wanting a release window. We discuss this very topic on a regular basis - ultimately, we don't want to ever cut corners, and we want to be very sure of any date/timing we give whenever it is ready for prime time... so just hang in there with us a bit longer. We know this update has taken a long time, and we thank you for that patience you show each month.

That said, let's dive into the latest and greatest, shall we?

Happy Terraria Day!

Greetings Terrarians!

Spring has certainly sprung in our neck of the woods. Everything is greening up, flowers are in bloom, and the allergies are off the charts! Lots of interesting things going on behind the scenes as of late - hopefully some of that comes to fruition and we can share the details in later months. We know things are a bit chaotic in the world right now as well, so we do hope that Terraria can at least provide an area of respite for everyone. We also know that releasing the update would certainly help in that regard. We are doing all that we can to not only get this one done, but also plan a bit ahead to streamline things for down the road - but that's a story for another time. For now, let's dig in to the latest news from the world of Terraria!

What awaits us in this month's State of the Game?

Greetings Terrarians!

Anybody feeling especially lucky this month? We sure hope so, because we have some fun stuff to share this month - and we are one month closer to getting this update into your hands. It is crazy to see that the first three months of 2025 have already flown by. We promise that there is a pretty cool update sitting in the pot of gold at the end of this very long rainbow. One upside is that the extended update timeline has given DR Studios the chance to dive into even more polish and improvements on things specific to Console and Mobile. We hope that love and care will come through to everyone when the time comes.

With that said, let's see what is in store for this month's State of the Game!

Greetings Terrarians!

Ah February, the month of love, or something like that? Well, we certainly love and appreciate each and every Terrarian out there, so let's go with it! Anyway, the team is whittling away at the remaining tickets in the system and making great headway down that road. We also have some fun new spoilers to showcase this month that we hope everyone will enjoy. Beyond that, we are really just hoping to be able to finally give a release window with some certainty sometime soon. We know that this update has taken a very long time and we appreciate your patience more than we can say. Please just hang in there with us a bit longer.

With that said, let's get right to it!

Greetings Terrarians!

2025 is here and we are here for it! Things are setting up for this to be quite the year for Terraria and Terrarians everywhere, and we hope that everyone is as excited as we are for what is to come. From the long-awaited update to (hopefully!) the release of crossplay to the release of Terraria: the Board Game and more - there will be lots to do and enjoy. Team Terraria is - as always - beyond appreciative of each of you that choose to continue along with us on our journey. So, let's settle in and learn a bit more about what this year has in store!

On with the show...

Greetings Terrarians!

A Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to each and every one of you from Team Terraria! We hope that everyone has found ample time to spend with family and friends during this time. That has been the focus of our team over the past couple of weeks - a good chance to rest and recharge for the push into what is to come in 2025. That said, we did take a few days away from the holiday celebrations for a quick playthrough on the new Skyblock seed. As with all of our playthroughs, shenanigans quickly followed: dev duels, Chippy vs Red for the CEO crown, even what has come to be known as "debug command battles" commenced over the course of the adventure. These are always not only a lot of fun, but also beyond useful in assisting with bug fixing and balance. We can't wait to see what you make of this seed when the update drops!

Let's see what is under the Terraria tree this year, shall we?

Greetings Terrarians!

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! The Terraria team is certainly thankful for each and every one of you and your support for us over the years. We hope that as we enter the holiday season, you will have some time to rest, relax, and reconnect with family and friends. We are looking to get things all wrapped up for 2024 ourselves - it has certainly been a productive and unpredictable year. This month's State of the Game is a good one - with spoilers, updates on the future, some new product releases and more. You will definitely want to dive in and check it out.

With that said, let's get to it shall we?

Greetings Terrarians!

October is quite possibly our favorite month here on the Terraria team. We are big fans of the turn towards the Fall alongside all of the spooky happenings that come along with Halloween. Speaking of which, if you have any amazing Terraria-themed pumpkins, costumes, or anything similar that you put together for Halloween this year, we would love to see them - and maybe feature them in the community section next month! On the development side, the team is pushing hard towards the end of the year, checking off items on the team's collective list at a blistering pace. More on that later, but for now, let's see what treats the Terraria team has waiting for our amazing community this year!

All that said, let's see what's going on in the world of Terraria...

Greetings Terrarians!

Fall is almost here, and we can't wait. For several members of the team, this is their favorite time of the year - Halloween decorations are already starting to go up! Speaking of, we hope everyone is already coming up with ideas for cool Terraria pumpkin carvings, costumes, and art because we always love to see them. In the meantime, the teams remain hard at work on adding/tweaking/fixing content for Terraria 1.4.5. The finish line is starting to take shape, though we admittedly do have a couple of decent-sized ideas we want to discuss internally and decide if we should take those on before we can say for certain. How's that for vague? All that said, we are pretty excited for what is in Terraria 1.4.5 already, what we know is still to be added, and what may or may not be yet to come. Just a little while longer...

All that said, let's see what's going on in the world of Terraria...

Greetings Terrarians!

Back to school already? That may have set the record for the fastest-feeling Summer of all time. We hope everyone at least got a chance to grab some fun times with friends and family over the past few months - before we all plunge headlong into what Fall has in store. On the Terraria front, we are full speed ahead in the second half of the year, with development of 1.4.5 still going quite well (we are nearing the 50th beta of this dev cycle!). Each month sees the addition of even more cool stuff - we are particularly excited for what was added this month, though we are only going to spoil one of the more "shocking" tidbits for now. We know everyone wants that juicy release date still, but we are patiently working through our list of "to do's", and we do not want to ever cut any corners... so it will still be a bit longer, I'm afraid.

With that out of the way... let's take a look at a particularly intriguing State of the Game!

Greetings Terrarians!

What a ridiculously hot month July has been for pretty much everyone, and we are not just talking about the temperatures outside. Can you believe that it has been a year since the Great War of Axes & Trees? Of course, this year, it's been the the Terraria CEO Standoff - which way did you fall on how Terraria should be pronounced? What did you make of Temporary-CEO Chippy's ideas for the game? Anything there you'd like to see become a reality?

All that said, let's get into the latest and greatest of all things Terraria!

Greetings Terrarians!

June has been an exciting month, to be sure! Alongside the steady forward march of Terraria development, we saw the Terraria Board Game crowdfunding campaign go completely nuts and we also were able to finally reveal the special vanity set designed by a huge Terraria fan, Frank, via Make-A-Wish®. Suffice to say, it was an eventful month - and July looks to be just as hot. Speaking of heat, it seems to be ridiculously hot everywhere this summer - so no better time to keep cool, stay inside, and start that next Terraria playthrough!

Now, let's dive into some refreshing Terraria news...

Terrarians!

We have been hard at work filling all outstanding orders and preparing things for a couple big announcements. Let's not waste any time and get right to it!
