Terraria News

Greetings Terrarians!

What a ridiculously hot month July has been for pretty much everyone, and we are not just talking about the temperatures outside. Can you believe that it has been a year since the Great War of Axes & Trees? Of course, this year, it's been the the Terraria CEO Standoff - which way did you fall on how Terraria should be pronounced? What did you make of Temporary-CEO Chippy's ideas for the game? Anything there you'd like to see become a reality?

All that said, let's get into the latest and greatest of all things Terraria!





[h2]TERRARIA - WHIPPING UP SOME 1.4.5 SPOILERS[/h2]

Observant Terrarians have likely noted several new whips that are coming your way in Terraria 1.4.5 - welcome additions for all of those summoner players out there! We haven't really taken a close look at a lot of these, but we thought we might do so with a never-before-seen whip. One imbued with the very power of the Queen of the Terrarian Jungle...

Unleash the volatile energies that permeate the Jungle on unwary foes - what a Vulgar Display of Flower indeed!

The team, of course, remains hard at work on both adding new things as well as tweaking and fixing things that we have already added. We know everyone wants a release date/window, but we are not ready to provide that just yet. Just be patient for us a bit longer... it will be worth it in the end.

Countless Terraria texture packs and worlds await you in the Terraria Steam Workshop! You are missing out if you haven't taken the time to check out these amazing creations from the community.



[h2]WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON?[/h2]

Planning sessions to scope out what remains...







Hello everyone!

The tModLoader team and our amazing community of contributors continues to improve tModLoader. On August 1st the monthly update release of tModLoader will go live. This month's release contains many improvements to the user experience, some gameplay bug fixes, as well as new features with examples and documentation for mod makers.

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 listed. The in-game news button on the main menu will direct you directly to the announcement once it is live.

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.



[h2]TMODLOADER STEAM WORKSHOP[/h2]

The TML Steam Workshop has over 6000 mods for you to enjoy! Coupled with the in-game mod browser, the TML Steam Workshop is a great way to explore what modded Terraria has to offer - check it out today by clicking the banner above!



[h3]WHAT'S NEXT FOR TML?[/h3]

More features, continuing to evolve and grow what TML can do... and getting ready for 1.4.5.

As always, you can keep track 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.)

Developers who are willing to contribute may do so by doing PRs to the tModLoader/tModLoader branch. (See tModLoader/tModLoader)





The team at DR Studios has been able to spend a bit of time on the side diving into Terraria crossplay in an attempt to make some progress on that in parallel to the ongoing work on Terraria 1.4.5. The sooner we can get to the unanswered questions there, the better, right? Again, no promises, but we are happy with the progress thus far. That said, shall we dive into some 1.4.5 spoiler action?


CHANGE YOUR VOICE, FOOL YOUR FRIENDS, FUN AT PARTIES!

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
Why be stuck with the same old human voice effects when you can embrace your inner zombie... or turkey?

Terraria 1.4.5 introduces all new accessories that will allow players to change the way they sound.

Until next time, Console & Mobile friends - thanks for all of your love and support!

TERRARIA - THE BOARD GAME UPDATE[/h3]


Hello Terrarians! Chris here, lead developer at Paper Fort Games. The Kickstarter campaign for Terraria: The Board Game might be over, but the work continues at Paper Fort HQ! I’ll be carrying on with my designer diary over the next few months, providing a behind-the-scenes peek at the ongoing development and manufacturing process, but this month I’m going to recap our favorite bits of the campaign.

If you missed the campaign but would still like to get your hands on the game, don’t worry! Late pledges are now available at the link below:

TERRARIA: THE BOARD GAME KICKSTARTER RECAP

Over 15,000 Terrarians supported the campaign, raising over 2 million dollars; what an incredible total! It’s not all about the final number, of course; we had a fantastic time getting there too. Here are some of our campaign highlights:

- We unlocked over 50 stretch goals to maximise the content and quality of the game, including a transparent King Slime boss miniature, promo packs, deluxe dice, developer vanity sets and a foiled, uniquely numbered, limited edition Pwnhammer card for every backer!



- We were able to support conservation charities via our social goals; we've adopted an orca, penguins, a beehive and a vulture on behalf of the Terraria community, as well as planting 100 trees!



- We held an AMA over on the official Terraria Discord and answered loads of great questions from fans; about the game, about working with the Re-Logic team and even about our favourite snacks… You can read all of the questions and our answers here: PAPER FORT GAMES AMA RECAP.


Thanks again to the amazing Discord mod team for hosting the AMA and for the community for making us feel so welcome!

- We hosted an in-game build contest, featuring some incredible entries!



Thank you again to every single one of you who supported the campaign in any way; we really, really appreciate it and we’re very excited to show you more over the coming months!



Again. if you missed the campaign but would still like to get your hands on the game, don’t worry! Late pledges are now available at the link below:

[h3]TERRARIA GRAPHIC NOVEL SERIES - SHIPPING COSTS UPDATE & MORE[/h3]


Our friends at 50 Amp Productions have some news and reminders that they would like to share - check it out!

• We heard a great deal of concern about the price of international shipping... and we agreed! International shipping rates are ridiculous. It took us more time than we hoped because the feat was greater than we had imagined. However, we are happy to share that our new shipping services have been integrated into our web store, and you should find that your shipping rates were slashed to a fraction of what they once were.
  
• Come by and check it out! And if you live in a country that has not yet seen the price change, email us at [email protected] (mailto:[email protected]) and tell us what country and we will look into it for you.
  
• For US fans, if you go to the site, you will see there are shipping savings for you as well. Spend $40 and we will pay your shipping for you. As a thank you for your continued support!
  

• The graphic novel collection is available for preorders on Barnes and Noble, Target.com, Amazon, Booksamillion…you name it! The release date is October 15 and you will be ordering direct from the retailer. We priced it at $10.99, essentially giving you over 20 pages for free. The book collects volume 1, issues 1-4 of the continuing comic book series and will get you ready to read volume 2! We are really proud of the book and hope you check it out.
  

• Lastly, we wanted to remind you that as you read this, all materials from issues 1-6 are in stock and shipping within days of order, barring mail holidays, of course! There is no preorder this time, so you can check it out, order it, and have it in your hands all within a tiny window of time.

Until next time, Terrarians - we hope you have an amazing month, and we look forward to bringing you the latest and greatest next time!

Greetings Terrarians!

June has been an exciting month, to be sure! Alongside the steady forward march of Terraria development, we saw the Terraria Board Game crowdfunding campaign go completely nuts and we also were able to finally reveal the special vanity set designed by a huge Terraria fan, Frank, via Make-A-Wish®. Suffice to say, it was an eventful month - and July looks to be just as hot. Speaking of heat, it seems to be ridiculously hot everywhere this summer - so no better time to keep cool, stay inside, and start that next Terraria playthrough!

Now, let's dive into some refreshing Terraria news...





[h2]TERRARIA - OVER 58 MILLION STRONG... AND GROWING![/h2]

It has been quite some time since we gave an update on just how massive the Terraria fanbase has grown. This was somewhat by design, as we had our sights set on doing so once we passed a somewhat-obscure game about a plumber and his brother trying to save a princess from this dragon-turtle thing...

Thanks to the support of Terrarians everywhere, we are very proud to share that Terraria has surpassed 58 million units sold - 58.7m to be more exact, with nearly 32m from PC alone!

Once again, we are beyond humbled and thankful for your continued support - it is the force that drives us every day to make even more awesome Terraria experiences. I wonder what might happen when we get to sixty million...



[h3]MAKING A WISH COME TRUE IN TERRARIA[/h3]


In case you missed it, the Re-Logic team recently had the distinct pleasure to work alongside a massive Terraria fan, Frank, as we crafted his very own Terraria vanity set! Frank is a 17-year-old teenager from Rockaway, New Jersey who is battling a critical illness. Frank declared to Make-A-Wish® New Jersey that his one true wish was to have his own Vanity Set in Terraria - and we were beyond thrilled to make that a reality!


You can check out Frank's vanity set - the Heroicis Set, complete with "Film Noir" shader - when Terraria 1.4.5 releases!



[h3]TERRARIA TESTING PLAYTHROUGHS - WHAT'S IT LIKE?[/h3]

Ever wondered what those Re-Logic beta testing playthroughs are like? What sorts of bugs are found? What shenanigans take place? Well, Chippy recently put together a nice little video about his experiences as a beta tester on Terraria 1.4.5 around a year ago - a documentary for science, if you will.

Nearly 110,000 packs/worlds await you in the Terraria Steam Workshop! You are missing out if you haven't taken the time to check out these amazing creations from the community.

A recent in-person meeting between a few members of the team has unearthed even more interesting ideas to explore...

The team at DR Studios remains hard at work on both Terraria 1.4.5 content as well as console and mobile specific tweaks and fixes. More details to come on all of that down the line, but suffice to say that we think that the Terraria experience will be the best that it has ever been on all platforms once 1.4.5 comes out! That said, let's dive into some spoilers shall we?

[h3]MORE CONTROL MAPPING TWEAKS[/h3]

As we mentioned last month, we are undergoing a full review of all gamepad/control maps and making QOL changes that we think everyone will enjoy. Here's a taste of some changes from this past month's work on this project:



A buff icon was added in the top left corner, which only displays if the player has unused buff items.

The state display in the top right corner has been expanded on to include more things and their mappings. Health / mana potions also display here in appropriate circumstances, though whether they'll be moved up with buffs is still being discussed.

THESE AREN'T YOUR PARENTS' BOMBS ANYMORE![/h3]

Bombs - not just for blasting random holes in the ground anymore!

TERRARIA - THE BOARD GAME UPDATE[/h3]


June saw the completion of the Terraria Board Game Kickstarter - and wow, we are blown away!!!

Over 15,000 Terrarians - both old and new - pledged over two million dollars to make Terraria: The Board Game as amazing as it can possibly be. Every single stretch goal was met, the comments were amazing to read and respond to, and we cannot wait to get everything put together and in your hands!

The current expected delivery timing for Terraria: The Board Game is June 2025, but the team at Paper Fort Games will update us all as things move along. In the meantime, the Re-Logic team will continue to partner closely with PFG in order to ensure this latest Terraria experience is authentic and of the highest quality.

If you missed out on the Kickstarter, don't fret - we expect a version to hit retailers down the road as well. The gameplay will be the same, though perhaps with a bit fewer fancy doodads.


TERRARIA: THE BOARD GAME KICKSTARTER CAMPAIGN



[h3]CHECK OUT THE LATEST MONTHLY T-SHIRT ON TERRARIA.SHOP![/h3]

Hot on the heels of the recent CEO battle between Redigit and Chippy, this month's Terraria T-shirt drop on Terraria.shop dives deep into the age old question that has bothered humanity since the dawn of time: how exactly does one pronounce "Terraria"? There seems to be some disagreement - and it often seems to fall along country lines...

Of course, with it being close to Independence Day, we couldn't help but poke a little fun at this long-standing Terrarian debate:
