I will say that Silksong was only stated to be out in 2025, which can prove to be wrong as Silksong has been given a year before and was delayed, and so has 1.4.5

Trya's right guys, please be patient, Im as restless and excited as you all but we cannot rush these things, as for Silksong, I dunno what to say maybe is going through development hell, if it is then its been a long and tedious one at that if its been 7 years, also thanks guys for the reply on who likes the Tax Collector.

Something I hope to see in 1.4.5 (or After) is the Player Sprite Bobbing while Holding and item in Hand (Like food)
and Bobbing while Attacking with Weapons or Tools such as a Pickaxe
Walking with Bobbing would look like this Compared to above
and Hopefully Actual Sitting Poses like these when Comparing to the Sitting Mannequin in the Saloon

PRESENTATION!!!!!
True, but they can always just say "We don't have a current release" instead of saying that the update is "almost done" in 2099. Its less ressassuring, but at least they are being honest. We still need to respect the development process, but the devs need to be more honest about it.
Still though, amazing SOTG.

That was pretty evil to say my meme was incorrect. You're a villain alright, just not a super one.

Anyway, I think there's an underworld pylon in the sotg.
I’m wondering whenever crossplay comes out there will be a way to transfer worlds from one console to another like switch to PC
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!

TERRARIA - THE TIES THAT BIND
In an earlier playthrough last year, renowned Terraria Enthusiast ChippyGaming and the creator of Terraria, Redigit, discussed having a special playthrough in 2025 where no secrets would be kept and any spoilers that showed up were fair game. The catch? They would be tethered together and playing on hardcore. Any death from either player would end the run. What new spoilers appeared? What development insights did Redigit reveal? What sorts of crazy shenanigans did they get up to? Most importantly - how did it end!?!
Terraria - still bringing players closer together than ever before after all of these years!
So, we hope that everyone enjoys that fun little journey into the world of Terraria 1.4.5 - we wish there could have been more, but sadly two seasoned Terraria pros got taken out by... a waterfall. That said, we thought we might share just a little bit more in the realm of spoilers this month:
Something seems off about those gunslingers...

This last month tModLoader hit an exciting new player count record. We had 56,000 players playing at the same time! We look forward to even more users enjoying playing tModLoader as new mods continue to come out and existing mods continue to update!
On April 1st the monthly update release of tModLoader will go live. One notable change for this month's release is the AddSpecialDraw changes for tile rendering, which can be used to address some animation frame rate and rendering issues. We hope mod makers read the pull request description and apply the fixes to their own tiles if relevant. We'd also encourage mod makers to check out the new features available in the preview release and provide feedback if anything is lacking. Some features in preview include biome conversion support and streamlined ModTileEntity examples and helper methods.
Modders and users should also keep an eye out for our monthly Steam announcement on the 1st where a complete listing of bug fixes and API changes for this month's release will be shown. The in-game news button on the main menu will send you directly to the announcement once it is live.
We look forward to seeing how mods make use of these new features. As always, if you are having issues of any sort, definitely don't hesitate to check out our FAQ on github or reach out to us at our Discord.

More features, continuing to evolve and grow what TML can do... and getting ready for 1.4.5.
As always, you can keep track of the current progress and much more in real time at tModLoader/tModLoader (But note that the completion percentage doesn't mean anything, because issues and PRs don't have weights.)

CONSOLE & MOBILE - DR STUDIOS
This month, we have once again been beavering away at Quality of Life changes. In particular, one spot we’ve been addressing is the use of primary vs. secondary item actions. Currently you perform “left click” actions with the Fire button, and “right click” actions with the Interact button. Since your Interact button is usually on the same side as your movement stick, however, this can get cumbersome when trying to attack with most weapons. This new (work in progress) feature should hopefully address that, and make these actions easier to use while moving!
To give a brief overview:
- We have added a toggle button between an item’s primary / secondary actions.
- This changes all buttons, as well as aim stick + screen tap, to perform the secondary action.
- Given these secondary actions could not previously be used on the aim stick, nor when tapping the screen, opening these up as options should make these actions much more comfortable than before.
- At the moment, this button can be unbound to revert to current 1.4.4.9 behaviour. We are iterating back and forth, however, so there might be changes on the horizon to how this is implemented.
---Greetings Terrarians!
Until next time, Console & Mobile friends - thanks for all of your love and support!
The team is feeling pretty good about console & mobile at this point, but we know that the bug reporting never stops! So, please, as you run into any issues, be sure to file a Bug Report via the links below!

TERRARIA - THE BOARD GAME UPDATE

Chris here, lead developer at Paper Fort Games. In this month’s Terraria: The Board Game designer diary, we’ve got an update on our timeline, new art and loads of sample images including the wooden character pack, full-art card sleeves and dice!

Grab your pickaxes and let’s dig in!

UPDATED TIMELINE
TL;DR: We’re updating our estimated shipping date to August 2025.
At Paper Fort HQ, we’re regularly evaluating our internal deadlines and estimated timeline. Over the past month, we’ve made improvements to the game that require some extra testing time and that necessitate updates to the game’s print files. Finalizing the game’s tray design (a hugely important part of the game) and getting samples of some game components have also taken longer than we had hoped. These are critical milestones in the development process, and they directly impact the quality of the final game, so we need to give them the time they deserve. You can view the update timeline below:
This means that the game is going to take longer to get to backers than we had anticipated; we’re updating our estimated shipping date to August 2025. As backers of many projects ourselves, we understand that this can be frustrating, so we wanted to let everyone know sooner rather than later and reiterate our promise to keep you in the loop throughout the whole process.
This doesn’t mean anything has slowed down in our day-to-day work on the game; there are still lots of things happening in parallel, such as the finalizing of art assets, the rulebook overhaul and loads of playtesting. Our monthly updates will continue, with all the behind-the-curtain details of the game’s development and as many exciting pictures as we can fit in!
Speaking of exciting pictures, let’s take a look at what’s been happening this month…
---
WOODEN CHARACTER PACK
This week, we received a full sample of the game’s wooden character pieces. During the campaign, we planned to include 4 character pieces in the base game, but as mentioned previously we’ve decided to increase this to 8 as a thank you for your support. Therefore, the core game will come with 8 character pieces (2 in each player colour), and Hellstone backers will receive an additional 32 characters (8 in each player colour). As you might remember from previous updates, we’ve been testing lots of different printing methods and are very happy that we’ve found a technique that not only allows a wider range of colours but also permits more detailed artwork; quite a challenge on a wooden piece smaller than a penny!
Below is the full set; the 2 leftmost pieces in each colour are the base game pieces; the others are included in the Hellstone pack.
PLASTIC ORGANIZER SAMPLES
Until now, we’ve been testing 3D-printed version of the game’s organizer trays; this is a great initial check of dimensions and component fit, but this week we progressed to the next step - our plastic samples finally arrived!
The trays are vacuum formed. For those of you who are interested in how this process works, you can watch this short video (5 minutes). It’s not specific to board game inserts, but the process is very similar, and it shows the various stages involved in the process.
We’re happy to report that the plastic trays are sturdy, hold all of the components well, have secure snap-close lids and fit nicely in the box:
Eagle-eyed viewers may notice a few things in the GIF above:
· The plastic trays are all black: This is just for sampling purposes. The trays will be coloured, with the enemy tray purple to match the enemy dice, the boss trays colour-matched to the boss miniatures and the remaining trays Terraria green, colour-matched to the character dice. Their lids will all be transparent. Coloured trays are on their way to us; in the meantime here’s a digital mockup:
· There’s a mysterious white box at the top left: This area will contain a foam block in the core version of the game (so things don’t rattle around); Hellstone backers can replace this foam block with their box of extra wooden character pieces.
· The card and biome tile boxes are grey: These are still our 3D printed versions of these boxes. These will be made from full-art, double-walled cardboard in the final game; we are currently waiting on the cardboard samples.
· The card box is full of sleeved cards! That’s right; read on for a sleeve-related update…
---
CARD SLEEVES & SLEEVED CARD CAPACITY
Hot of the press, we have the physical samples of the full-art action card sleeves included with the Hellstone pledge! They look *amazing*, are fantastic quality (100-micron thickness) and fit the cards beautifully. We have subjected them to 30 solid minutes of the most brutal smash-shuffling that we could muster, and we’re happy to report they aren’t showing any signs of wear, splitting or peeling.
CHARACTER ART & UPDATED PLAYER BOARDS
---
George has just finished up a complete overhaul of our 8 character cards; we’ve worked closely with the Re-Logic team to create an interesting and diverse cast of characters to choose from.
Of course, as you progress through the game, you’ll be overlaying your character with various armor and vanity sets!
It has been a very fun technical challenge to make characters, armor and vanities that are completely interchangeable; we’re excited to see them in action!
Updated Player Boards
In our last update, we mentioned that we’ve updated the player boards to include designated consumable and discard pile areas; we just received the samples and it’s looking great! It definitely helps to have these extra reminders!
TERRARIAN & ENEMY DICE
And finally; some dice! We have just approved the samples for the Terrarian and enemy dice, with their new, easier to read inlay colours. The marbling looks great, and it’s very satisfying to roll a handful of them in combat!
GAME DEVELOPMENT NEWS
Here’s what we’ve been focusing on this month:
- The major rulebook overhaul continues; it’s currently with playtesters for initial comments and we’ll publish it for backers to read as soon as it’s ready.
- ‘Blind’ playtesting is ongoing; the game is currently with playtesting groups who will play the game based solely on the rulebook.
- Removal of half blocks for the game to simplify rules; a square is now simply full, or empty.
- Addition of an ‘objective focus’ token to increase interactivity and planning between players at the start of each turn.
- Alternate objectives are currently being tested; these can be swapped in to increase game-to-game variability.
- Simplification of enemy retaliation rules; less dice rolling!
---Back in April
I'll be back next month with more art, development news, and factory samples to show you! It’s really lovely to see everything come together; thank you all so much for your support.
Remember; if you missed the campaign but would still like to get your hands on the game, late pledges are now available via the link below:
Until next time!

Wait, so does that mean Silksong's really a thing then? Im kinda out of the loop, as I dont play Hollow Knight. But if that is then cool, hopefully thats some contentment for the fans.
