Good Day, Terrarians!
Hot on the heels of our official Terraria on Nintendo reveal last week, we wanted to give you an update on our plans for the rest of the console platforms – and then to ask you, the community, for your invaluable input on a change we are looking to make as a part of these updates. So, without further ado, off we go:
CONSOLE TERRARIA CONTENT UPDATE PLANS
Through a variety of issues, we wound up in a situation where the previously-launched “Additions” update did not wind up containing the entirety of Terraria 1.2.3 content. At the same time, we had started work on the next round of content – and, unfortunately, launching post-1.2.3 content into versions of the game that do not already have the full 1.2.3 update would cause all kinds of issues – for us and for you guys!
So, that leaves us at a crossroads of sorts – and here is what we have decided to do:
We will release the content below as one update – currently planned for the 4th Quarter of 2015 (Oct-Dec), though we will provide a more exact date as soon as possible
- The remainder of the 1.2.3 content
- Terraria 1.2.4, in its entirety, including (but not limited to):
- Minecarts
- Fishing
- Duke Fishron
- And much much more!
So, that – coupled with the recent mobile announcements – will mean that all of the existing Terraria console/mobile platforms will be up to the 1.2.4 level by the end of 2015! Nintendo being the exception, as it doesn’t launch until after the new year.
Beyond that, we have started looking into the 1.3 source code, and will share any plans there just as soon as we have them together.
CUSTOM CONTROLS – WE NEED YOU!
As a part of the update later this year, we are looking to add some additional control schemes beyond the default that is currently in the game. These will likely be in the form of various “alternate” control setups that you would select from in the options menu.
That’s where you come in – we have listed the Default (as it exists today) below. We would love to have you – the community – propose your alternatives to us for possible inclusion in the coming update!
To submit your idea,
- Make a post in this thread with your suggested changes.
- Please note that we are only altering button configurations and not adding new functionality to the controller itself.
- Also you MUST note which platform (Xbox/Playstation) you are addressing.

Thanks for your support, your feedback, and for everything else you do!
