Terraria State of the Game - November 2025

[MrD108]

Do you think there will be any transformation mounts we don't know about?
So far, we know that, along with the existing ones, there will be:
- Wolf
- Dinosaur
- Bat
- Rat
- Fairy

I actually have a thought. What if the Bat's transformation allows for free flight, but only at night and in caves, but not in daylight?

Will Moon Lord have more drops for the other classes? And will the pillars have a third drop for each class?
Summon we have 3 weapons, while the other class we have 2 weapons each

Would it really needed?

Pillars and moon lord were added in 1.3; the whip concept was added to summoners in 1.4. So the endgame summoner items are from before the summoner redesign. Summoner is the only class that is built around a dichotomy of passive weapons (minions and sentries, which act on their own) and active weapons (whips). The mage class does have a few passive weapons (rainbow gun for example) but that's not a core design principle of the class. It is for summoner, and so it makes sense they get endgame whips besides the Empress of Light drop.

If the idea is just out of some sort of sense of symmetry, then you should take a look at all the various events, they generally favor melee weapon rewards and some of them don't even have any summon weapon at all. I think it could make sense to give, not a new weapon, but a new ammo type perhaps for ranged (vortex rockets maybe? they already have luminite arrows and bullets). Magic generally could use some more love, too; but melee's just fine as it is. Plus it already has three drops from the Moon Lord, while the others have two.

In total, the game as of 1.4.4 has 175 melee weapons (not counting tools, which functionally work as melee weapons), 112 ranged weapons (counting the two paper airplanes, so feel free to lower that count to 110), 76 magic weapons, and 47 summon weapons (21 minions, 17 sentries, and 9 whips).

So adding the confirmed weapons from 1.4.5 (at least one Dead Cells weapon for each class; summoner gets both a sentry and a minion, plus nine new whips), we get to 177 melee, 113 ranged, 77 magic, and 58 summon.

I actually have a thought. What if the Bat's transformation allows for free flight, but only at night and in caves, but not in daylight?

Bats don't fly at night because their flight is darkness-dependent; they do that because they're afraid of hawks. (They also don't get out at just any hour of the night, because they're also afraid of owls.)

Based on Redigit's previous posts, it's safe to assume that version 1.4.5 will feature a number of new accessory combinations.
However, I'd really like to see two accessories, the Hand Warmer and Toolbox, become more common. The Hand Warmer could be sold by the Clothier, and the Toolbox by the Mechanic.

A similar issue is the rarity of the Bloody Machete and Bladed Glove, which have very specific acquisition methods during the seasonal event. I'd prefer the Bloody Machete to drop from Blood Moon enemies, while the Bladed Glove could be sold by, for example, the Zoologist.

 

[Airarret]

while the Bladed Glove could be sold by, for example, the Zoologist.

Seems more like a goblin tinkerer item, honestly. "I put rockets on your boots! And razor blades on your gloves! And the Trepan-o-tron 2000 in your hat!"

January in 2026? Yeah... sure.. okay. That's rather "optimistic"

When submitting to multiple platforms at once and trying to coordinate cadence on a broad scale, just one flag on one platform will throw a wrench in the uniform launch window. And outside of Steam, when you are coordinating updates to console platforms (no matter if it's XBox, Playstation, Nintendo etc.), you're at their team's mercy and the only thing you can do is pray that nothing causes a flag, even if it's minor. Because that means the build gets chucked back to the team for updating, and the next window can take weeks -- especially since the team is coming up on holiday.

Okay, everyone, let's move away from the simultaneous release and start speculating on what awaits us in this update? What are you hoping for? New content? Some QoL features?

(Yes, Kirby Eevee, we know you want cloud-themed furniture.)

Personally, I'd like to see a fix for boss drops displayed in the Bestiary for Expert and Master Modes. For example, under the bag information, a list of what the bag can contain + a percentage of the "random" developer outfit drop would be displayed. Admittedly, boss drops would then have to be manually modified, as they're the only ones in the Bestiary, but I don't think it would be a huge problem for the developers.

I'd also like to see information about the Pirate's Curse and Spiked Slime in the Bestiary. The lack of Spiked Slimes on Classic worlds could definitely be addressed. For example, they could appear but not shoot spikes, or it could be explained that they only appear in worlds with more challenging conditions.

Maybe Spiked Slimes can spawn in Hardmode on all worlds?

You can keep your expectations low.
That way, it will be a surprise when the update drops earlier than your expectations.

plantszaza gets it

EDIT: Saw someone mention they didn't delay anything. They did back when this was still just a Dead Cells crossover update it had an release date before it went "when it's ready" and dev team kept stacking more and more crossovers and additions on top of that update with no release date for was it 2 years? Yeah something like that. So technically yes it was delayed.

 

[Fido Dido]

And?? What's your point?
They can still delay it. It's not like this never happened before..

I get if you’re tired of waiting but you are literally just complaining about a hypothetical situation. Yes, it isn’t literally impossible for it to get delayed, but it looks unlikely, and as far as we know it isn’t, so what is even the point in this? You don’t have to be so negative over something every time.

We should really just appreciate the "another free update". Update definitely took long to develop, but they seem to understand that themselves and I personally don't really feel entitled to anything free anyway. Game development is hard. Love to relogic and I'm sure everyone is going to enjoy this update once again

I wish the steam users acted like this

 

[Timey-Whimy]

A few Steam users will act like this: get clown awards
A few more will angrily refute them: get clown awards
Steam users don't really have any one stance toward the update unless it involves fighting and harassing each other

Jester award giving steam points so you can buy emotes and friends list cap increases in the shop may have been one of the biggest blunders valve has ever made. The entirety of the steam forums and comments are just toxic ragebait now when they were already horrible before.

jester should instead put them in your debt

About half of the comments in the past few months are:
"Bruh, I can't see the image."
"Our great country block Imgur."
"Can't you use another image hosting site?"

Why not January 31, 2026 or January 18, 2026?

 

[nilzer]

im really hoping for a sudden release date announcement for this month but i wont be disappointed if it ends up being january since thats what they’re expecting

 

[ZeroJinKui]

I fail to see what we gain from waiting to release them all at once; if something is finished why deley? If console was finished first I say release the update on console. Of course, once cross-play is part of the equation we will have to release them together.

I personally don't care either way, I just haven't seen a good argument against it.

what we gain is everyone getting to enjoy the update at once.

the argument here is that releasing it for only some people would alienate at least half the community.

just because it wouldn't bother you doesn't mean it wouldn't upset millions of other people.

if you don't see that as a "good argument", then there is no point in offering an argument, because nothing will change your mind.

this is why re-logic is so beloved... because they DO care.

 

[MrD108]

Looking at upcoming content, do you think there will be any Isaac content?
After all, Chippy brought this up once, and Edmund showed interest (and I think we all remember how that ended with Palworld).

 

[TWillyH]

(and I think we all remember how that ended with Palworld).

I don't

 

[Dapling]

I don't

They're referring to how we got a crossover (hopefully nothing's going over my head here)
