Terraria State of the Game - February 2021
Greetings Terrarians!
We don't know about you, but February brought lots of cold weather (and not a small amount of snow and ice) our way.
Hopefully you have been able to stay warm and safe. While the weather may be chilly, the action on the Terraria development side is continuing to heat up. On the PC side, the team is doing a lot of polish work for the upcoming Steam Workshop/1.4.2 update - and things are really starting to come together. Meanwhile, our partners over at DR Studios are making fantastic strides on what is arguably the toughest task for Console 1.4: UI & Controls! Rounding it all out, we have some cool new Terraria merch and community tidbits to share. So, come in from the cold and let's sit around the fire and talk some Terraria!STATE OF THE GAME - TABLE OF CONTENTS

Terraria - PewDiePie Crossover Merchandise Launches Today
Greetings Terrarians!
As you may have seen a while back, famed YouTube and streaming star PewDiePie had a good time playing through Terraria - both in its 1.3 and 1.4 incarnations. During that time, we had a lot of fun watching his exploits in the world of Terraria, and the two sides had a chance to make some connections and have a few chats along the way. Flash forward several months, and the idea came up to do a limited edition crossover merchandise campaign!
This will be launching today on our Terraria.shop storefront (links below), and we hope you are as excited about this as we are. What will be available? Want to learn more? Read on!

Terraria State of the Game - January 2021
Greetings Terrarians!
Welcome to 2021! Here's hoping that the new year has as much good in store as 2020 had bad... then again, 2020 brought us Journey's End for Terraria, so maybe in this context we can hope that 2021 brings us more Terraria goodness? While action on the PC front is focused on Workshop as well as some team learning activities, development on Console (with even a little new tidbit for you Mobile fans) continues to heat up. On top of all of that juicy news, we will be setting the stage for what comes next after everyone reaches Journey's End and we have all platforms at parity later this year. There's no better way to kick off Terraria in 2021 than an action-packed State of the Game... so let's dive right in!
STATE OF THE GAME -...
Official Behind the scenes of Journey's End - A Q&A with the Programmers and Artists of Terraria
Hello Terrarians! The 1.4 Journey's End update has been out in your hands for a bit now, and since you've had a chance to play through and experience most of the new, exciting changes and additions, we thought it would be fun to give you a chance to ask some behind the scenes questions of the skilled programmers and gifted artists of Re-Logic that spent their time working on this update. Best of all, just for joining in you may even win a prize!
THESE TALENTED INDIVIDUALS ARE PART OF RE-LOGIC, THE DEVELOPMENT TEAM BRINGING YOU TERRARIA ON PC, AND AS SUCH, DO NOT HAVE ANY INFORMATION OR ANSWERS TO GIVE IN REGARDS TO TERRARIA ON CONSOLE OR MOBILE.
Now's your chance to ask those burning questions, such as what was the hardest thing to code, how do the artists get inspired to create a new item, what goes into the balancing of a new weapon, etc. You can ask your question to the group in general, or if you want to ask a specific Terraria dev, here's who will be joining us in this Q&A event:

Terraria: No Greater Labor of Love Nominee - Get Your Votes in Today!
You did it everyone! Terraria is officially a Nominee for the 2020 Labor of Love Steam Award! On behalf of the entire Re-Logic development team, a sincere thank you to each and every Terrarian out there for your support.
Now we need your help to finish making this a reality by getting your votes in now for Terraria to win the 2020 Labor of Love Award!
2020 has brought a lot of insanity to all of us - but also one constant, and that is Terraria being in our gaming lives and releasing more amazing content.
10 years, from 250 items to over 5000. Never a microtransaction. Never a paid DLC. If any game defines the "Labor of Love", it is Terraria. This is it...
Terraria State of the Game - December 2020
Greetings Terrarians!
Happy Holidays everyone! It certainly is getting quite chilly where we are, as Winter settles in for the next several months. We are getting ready to enjoy whatever time with friends and family we can get in the insanity that is the Holiday Season in 2020... and we certainly hope that you all get an opportunity to do the same. That said, we wouldn't want to close out the year without giving you one last look at the goings-on in the world of Terraria development in 2020. So, settle in and let's unwrap December's news...

Re-Logic Teams Up with Vidglo on New Terraria Merchandise Line
Happy Holidays everyone!
The team at Re-Logic has been hard at work building an awesome set of Terraria Merchandise over the past couple of years, and our efforts are really starting to build up momentum - resulting in some of the best Terraria merch offerings to-date (in our opinion at least)! In last week's November State of the Game, we revealed an amazing Collector's Vinyl Soundtrack that will be coming soon from Laced Records (preorders start this week!). This week, we are beyond pleased to share with everyone that we have recently partnered with the fantastic folks over at Vidglo on what will become an expanding line of Terraria Merchandise that you will not want to miss!
Kicking off this launch will be some of the highest quality Terraria clothing that we have had the pleasure of witnessing to-date, featuring some classic designs as well as new offerings...

Terraria State of the Game - November 2020
Greetings Terrarians!
Happy Thanksgiving (at least for our American friends... but really, everyone could use a day to give thanks for the good things in life right?)! We are very much looking forward to digging into whatever socially-distanced feasts await us as we enter the Holidays, and we hope that you find time to celebrate with you and yours in a safe and healthy way. November saw the release of the latest hotfixes for PC as well as a lot of progress down the road to Console 1.4, and an imminent second wave of fixes for Mobile. Want to learn more? Pull up a chair and tuck in that napkin as we set the table for the rest of 2020!
Terraria Holiday Shopping Guide
Greetings Terrarians!
Throughout the past few years, we have been hard at work building up a suite of awesome and diverse Terraria merchandise options in partnership with some truly amazing merchandise partners.

). If you see an item that catches your interest, simply click the image and you will be whisked away to a page where you can learn more and/or make your purchase.We have laid things out by Category below so that you can quickly navigate to products of interest. We will keep this updated as we move forward so that you always have the latest and greatest information right here!
Terraria State of the Game - October 2020
Greetings Terrarians!
Happy Halloween! This is absolutely one of our favorite holidays of the year - a time to watch some scary movies, dress up as your favorite monsters, eat way too much candy, and just be a kid (again). October was a massive month for Terraria, with Mobile receiving Journey's End, PC 1.4.1 coming out, and Console Journey's End development ramping up to full speed. With that said, let's dig into our pumpkin-shaped pail here to see what treats await - no tricks, we promise!
Taking the Journey on the Road: Terraria Journey's End Launches on Mobile Today!
Initially released in May 2020 for PC, Journey's End brings Terraria to the next level, to a place where the core game can finally be called "complete". From new ways to play the game to over 1000 new items to find and craft to new bosses to challenge and even a full-pass review of all content of the game for balance, graphic quality, and mechanics - truly, Journey's End has something for everyone. We cannot wait to see your reactions as you dive in to all that this update has to offer, and we hope that you thoroughly enjoy our gift to you. It has been an amazing journey indeed... but we truly feel that this end is really just a new beginning for the amazing world of Terraria.
But wait, there's more! Mobile Terrarians are also receiving the 1.3.1 through 1.3.5 updates at the same time. That's right, you are...
Rounding Out the Journey: Terraria 1.4.1 is Here!
Greetings, Terrarians!
Welcome to launch day for Terraria 1.4.1 on PC! As we have alluded to in previous news items and spoilers around this update, Terraria 1.4.1 is primarily focused on adding in pieces that were not quite ready in time for the Journey's End launch date - along with more fixes, balance tweaks, and a few new tidbits that we decided to add along the way. Located below, you will find the full changelog for Terraria 1.4.1
So, what all does Terraria 1.4.1 contain? Here are some of the bigger topline tidbits of note - but again, refer to the full changelog for a more complete accounting of things.
VANITY CONTEST WINNER...

There is so much going on with Terraria right now, let's dive right in!
