I really liked the little announcement they made in their YouTube channel I've not played 1.3 for PC so I can't wait to take a swing at the Moon Lord. To the devs and crew at Pipeworks, I would like to say thank you for the hard work you guys have put in. I know I'm not the only one in the Terraria community that appreciated it.

It was our assessment that they weren't particularly nice looking. Most of them were using really outdated mechanics and visuals that weren't designed by Relogic, or really strange design decisions, like the way the Slime pet just rocketed toward you without much of a special animation, just as an example.

Because they would need a redesign anyway (their damage mechanic would need to be removed), and because they honestly didn't really fit our standards for what we wanted in the game, they've been removed for the time being. Ideally, as Cenx detailed in a previous post elsewhere, we'd like to consider revamping them to look and perform more in line with our standards. That's not a guarantee that they will be reimplemented, but the concern is there to look into them at a future date.

This is completely unrelated to my uncontrollable hype for the update, but oh my jesus you and your gersh dern nostalgiagasm inducing profile pictures are making me have to change my pants every hour, like holy crap, that was such a good movie, and the one before. (Totally not trying to distract myself so I don't burst into flames vibrating uncontrollably for the update to finally be released.)
 
good to see some news.

Glad for console. So, after 1.3 console release, should we expect 1.3.6? in which time?
 
These guys should just get PC. It works, better, is less costly, and you can control your Pickaxes better with a mouse.
i've tried Terraria on PS3, DS, and Vita. controls are awful comparatively to mouse/keyboard.
 
One bug left for Xbox assuming non els3 will pop up? Yayyyyyyyyyy
I can’t wait to play

Your just good at using keyboard and mouse and console players are good at using controllers
 
Wow, I played terraria back in 2011 on PC and stopped following it. I recently got the PS4 version and got in to it just a week ago. lucky timing for me! i keep hearing a lot of items will be removed though. Im wondering what I should/shouldnt bother doing/crafting until then.

Im just about ready for hardmode. Will I need a new world to get 1.3 features? Or will it apply to my current world? Super excited to play the ~true terraria~ I always thought it could be!
 
Whup whup, thanks for the update!
About years i enjoyed Terraria on my Xbox360. At the moment i play it on my PC for the second time and i have to discover soo many new things - its so exiting!
I also looking forward to the Switch release. The game is freaking predestined for that platform. I want to play it everywhere so hard :)

cheers

Good day, Terrarians!

We have some pretty big news to share today with all of you - especially our console players!

Terraria 1.3 Console Launch Window
​

After a long development cycle in order to completely rewrite the entire Terraria codebase for Xbox One and Playstation 4, Re-Logic, Pipeworks, and 505 Games are very pleased to announce that the Terraria Console 1.3 update has been officially submitted to Sony for certification & approval to launch on the Playstation 4!!! This means that - depending on how that approval process proceeds - we are in the final milestone before having all of the amazing content that you have been waiting so patiently for in the hands of PS4 players. Xbox One is going to run a bit behind Playstation, we are afraid - read on below for the full details around what is happening, when, and why!

PLAYSTATION 4
Submitted to Sony (12/6/17) - Estimated to launch prior to end of 2017​


There is a chance that the date will slip a bit (this is out of our control, unfortunately), but we have spent a ton of time in QA across all three companies to try and make this update/rewrite as clean as we can. Hopefully, that will make for a fast and smooth certification! Of course, the team is already standing by for hotfixes for any bugs that are inevitably uncovered when you move from interior QA to a live build being played by millions of gamers. ;)

XBOX ONE​

Working on Final Critical Path Bugs (see below) - Submission TBD, Planned Launch in 2017, pending resolution of final bug​

So, what about Xbox One?

Over the weekend, we had a couple of issues pop up that are isolated to the XB1 build and are also big enough of a deal that we feel we need to have these addressed prior to submission to Microsoft. The good news is that we are down to one last problem at this point. The team is currently wholly focused on this critical item - and we wanted to share a bit about what it is and how long we estimate it might take to get things sorted and XB1 off to submission. This may be more info than some people want, but we figured that some extra transparency couldn't hurt:

  • Console "Suspended State" - Currently, if you "suspend" your XB1 without Saving & Exiting, etc. (power down the console, but not all the way) and try to restart Terraria later, the game will place you back into the main menu. The root cause for this is that the console logs off your profile (and saves are tied to profiles) when you power down. This could potentially cause a player to lose any progress since their last save (again, if they did not Save & Exit prior to suspending the console).
    • The team is looking to match the way other games handle this suspended state (if you log back in and do not change profiles, you can rejoin the game at the spot you left off)
    • NOTE: If you enable Auto Sign-in in your XB1 settings, you can get around this issue entirely - so note that for later - but we wanted a solution that worked for everyone, not just those that are able and willing to make that settings tweak.
ESTIMATED TIMING: Friday, barring any further setbacks

Once this issue is sorted out - barring any additional unforeseen critical bugs popping up - 505 is planning to submit the Xbox One version to Microsoft immediately thereafter. Again, hopefully, that will be a quick and painless process and we will have XB1 out in 2017 as well. However, you can see that these are not small "nuisance" bugs, and the Pipeworks team wants to take care to be certain that these are sorted out.

Please accept an apology on behalf of all three teams for what will hopefully be a minor delay for our Xbox fans. We will let you know immediately once it enters submission.

WHAT'S NEXT?​

Once the console versions make it to launch, Pipeworks/505/Re-Logic will diligently collect any post-launch bugs that crop up or are found by you guys and start the process of having them addressed immediately. The teams are planning and ready for a set of hotfixes to cover these as well as any minor bugs that the team decided to defer to post-launch in order to get this update into your hands sooner vs later.

After that, Mobile & Switch will officially be "on the clock" - and our Mobile/Switch Terrarians can look forward to new updates on their platform soon! We hope to have updated general timing estimates for Mobile and the Nintendo Switch version in the near future. Once all that is sorted, the team will be getting together to lay out the future update cadence so that we can keep get those post-1.3 content updates to you in a timely fashion.

In closing, on behalf of everyone working on Terraria, thank you for your patience during this rewrite, and we are all beyond excited to see you all experience what this new version has to offer (1.3 content and beyond), to bring console up to speed as soon as possible with PC, and for what the future holds for the console platform!!!

THIS IS AMAZING. I thank you relogic 505 pipework and every one who helped with this this is a huge day I admire how much effort they put in and the amazing time spent working on it this is a huge milestone for the terraria fans including me I have always been waiting for 1 3 to come to xbox. Because it looked epic but then I lost hope of that but 5 months later they said they would launch it to xbox 1 and that made me so exited for the past year and a half. And it's possible coming out tomorrow YAY. I LOVE YOU GUYS. I'm so happy.
 
Been waiting for years. Finally something positive and Bam Xbox one is basically getting a little delay again. But at least they managed to slip it in there without too many people understanding how Major of an issue that is. I'm not holding my breath until I see a date. :confused:

I think you should re read it again and a little more careful. It's still a long way from happening.

I would hardly say Friday for submission is a long time.

I believe what he meant was that it's still going to be a while between submitting for certification and the update actually hitting the systems.

Barring major bugs being discovered certification doesn't take too long. What's a couple of weeks after all this time lol?

Not much, no, but it's definitely not going to happen overnight, as the person he was replying to suggested.
