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. As we do not yet have "one place" to go and see everything, we thought it would be a great idea to put together a quick Shopping Guide to aid you in your gift-buying adventures (hey, that includes gifts for yourself too!
). 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...
Terraria State of the Game - September 2020
Greetings Terrarians!
At long last, the cooler temperatures of Fall are descending upon us! We hope that everyone is remaining safe out there, and that back-to-school has gone well for those who have done so (be it virtually or in-person). 2020 only has a few more months left - so hang in there! There is so much going on with Terraria right now, let's dive right in!

Out today is the Quality of Life update for Console Terraria that we have mentioned in past State of the Game news articles. Alongside an armful of various bug fixes, the team is proud to be able to bring the following new QOL features to XB1/PS4 Terraria!
