Fifteen Years?! That is a long time indeed! That's 131,400 hours - which quite a few of you have chosen to spend with our humble game. To say that reaching this milestone is equal parts insane and humbling is a massive understatement. It is really hard to put into words what your support for these many years has meant to our little studio. Simply put, you all are the engine that makes this all work. Your support allows us to keep going, keep expanding upon Terraria, without having to fall back to price increases or microtransactions. This is becoming increasingly rare in modern gaming, and we cannot thank you enough for making what we do every day possible.

From the hardcore players with thousands of hours to those just discovering our "metroidvania in a sandbox" today... from the builders to the speedrunners... from those that we interact with regularly in our community to those that just enjoy the game in silence... from those that are regular Terraria enjoyers to those that like to shake things up with all sorts of mods on tModloader... each and every one of you are precious to us. We hope that our game has brought you some joy over the years. Terraria is a unique experience one that we like to think that we have shaped together alongside the fans into the awesomeness that it is today. This is as much your journey as it is ours!

We thought that it might be fun to toss out some quick numbers to mark the occasion...


Total: 70 Million

• PC: 39.6m
  
• Console: 10.7m
  
• Mobile: 19.7m

tModLoader: 12.3m downloads on Steam

• Terraria: 461k (peaked at 1.4m)
  
• tModLoader: 237k (peaked at 441k)

(Steam counts Terraria and TML separately)

• Terraria: 101 Hours, 18 Minutes
  
• tModLoader: 89 Hours, 52 Minutes

How about you - how many hours have you played? When did you start? What is your favorite memory of your time with Terraria?

So, where does the path lead from here? What does the future hold for Terraria and Re-Logic?

Well, for now we are comfortable confirming that Crossplay is on deck soon... and that Terraria Updates will continue beyond 1.4.6/Crossplay. How that will work and what those entail will be shared as we go along. You will want to stay tuned for that!

Beyond that, we have other plans and ideas that we will share when the time is right, but suffice to say that the world of Terraria remains and will remain vibrant and alive for as long as we have anything to say about it!

Here's to 15 more years... and beyond!

In celebration of the 15th Anniversary of Terraria, we have been working with a couple of trusted partners to put together a few items that we hope that everyone will enjoy. Check out the details below - and if you have any interest, go ahead and get your preorder in today.


To mark the occasion of Terraria reaching 15 years, we have been working on a 15th Anniversary Collector's Edition box set. While we are not quite ready to kick off preorders just yet, we wanted to give you a little teaser of what is to come. There is some really cool stuff in this CE, and we think you are going to enjoy it.

Expect to receive full details and for preorders to open up sometime in early June. Until then, speculate away!


We’re thrilled to announce a partnership between Lost In Cult and Re-Logic to celebrate Terraria’s 15-year anniversary!

Terraria: Design Works will be available for pre-order when it launches on Thursday 28th May at 6pm BST.

For those that are not familiar, the Design Works series offers a glimpse behind the curtain - into the journey of Terraria the game and the team behind it. A retrospective look back on the phenomenon that is Terraria. Fun stories from dev-land, never-before-seen artwork, and more! The Re-Logic team has had a lot of fun so far in sharing the ups and downs of how we got here and where we are going.

Sign up below to be notified when it goes live!

The book will be available standalone or as part of a Deluxe Edition complete with a suite of extras. A must have for all Terraria fans!

Greetings Terrarians!

How in the world is it almost Summer already?! It feels like 1.4.5 launch was just yesterday... Our team has been head-down working away on post launch support for 1.4.5 and we really think everyone is going to enjoy what is coming soon in Terraria 1.4.5.7. You will get to see a bit more of that in the update sections below in this State of the Game. As it is balance focused, we are certain there will need to be some tweaks in what we assume will be 1.4.5.8 before we can hopefully - at long last - call 1.4.5 done and move on to the wonderful world of Crossplay. We received our Terraria Board Game copies as well, but we haven't really had time to dive in yet. There is so much more in the works for this year, it should be a fun ride!

Shall we jump right in and see what this month's SOTG has in store?



As mentioned previously, for 1.4.5.7, balance is the name of the game. What sorts of things have we been looking into, you might wonder... well, for example, we've added some new tools to handle frustrations in combat (aggro, invisible hitboxes, ranges, boss attacks, following on Gastropods shooting you offscreen, for example). We're also giving some less popular items fresh new life, and adding new items for niche playstyles. Of course, there are other places we are exploring, but that gives you a flavor for the scope of what 1.4.5.7 is tackling - and why its taking a good bit longer than the other 1.4.5.X fixes.

In the process of our balance work, we have lots of deep and winding discussions about various issues and how best to tackle them. Those discussions spark a lot of other discussions, which lead to things like what we wanted to share with you this month...

A fun new minion for Summoners that don't mind getting their hands dirty...

Keep your thoughts and feedback rolling in, it is always helpful for us to take into account. Hopefully, we will have 1.4.5.7 wrapped up soon!

Hello everyone!

On May 1st the regular monthly update release of tModLoader for 1.4.4 will go live. It contains various bug fixes and some small features. We will continue to update the 1.4.4 version of tModLoader with bug fixes as we work on updating tModLoader to the Terraria v1.4.5 update (Bigger and Boulder).

The tModLoader team has spent most of our efforts this past month continuing work on updating tModLoader to the Terraria 1.4.5 update. Last month we mentioned that the initial process of porting the tModLoader code changes to the Terraria 1.4.5 update was complete and that we were ready for experienced contributors to help us. Since then we've had many community code contributions from experienced modders who have answered the call. Work on updating tModLoader to better support several new Terraria features has been progressing smoothly. Many regression fixes and bug fixes have also been made. We are extremely grateful for those willing to help with this process. The tModLoader team will continue to work with experienced modders to progress towards the tModLoader 1.4.5 update.

This process as well as any other big changes desired by the modding community for this update will take many months still. There are still many tasks to be done, if you are interested in contributing code for the 1.4.5 update, the 1.4.5 Update Information page has information on how to contribute and what tasks remain to be done. That page also explains how to join the "1.4.5-dev" beta branch. Users can join that beta branch to help identify and report remaining bugs, but please don't expect that version of the game to be stable.

We ask that players and modders remain patient as we work on the update. tModLoader will continue to work as expected during this process, but please note that Terraria players and worlds played on the 1.4.5 update can not be migrated to and used on current tModLoader.

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.

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[github.com] or reach out to us at our Discord[discord.com].

The TML Steam Workshop has over 10,000 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!

Hello Terrarians!

Another month of keeping stride with the PC side along with working on ahandful of other backend adjustments has been the name of the game on our end. We are really hoping that this enables us to get 1.4.5.7 out as close to PC as possible, and things are looking pretty good there so far! Beyond that, the team continues preparations for crossplay as the next step down the Terraria path. The more we get done now, the better and sooner that can happen!

All that said, let's have a second peek at what the PC section was covering, shall we...

Daybloom... not just for sticking in pots and potions anymore!

Hello Terrarians!

Chris here, lead developer at Paper Fort Games. In this month’s Terraria: The Board Game designer diary, we’ve reached a major milestone; Kickstarter fulfilment is now complete!

Late pledge orders are also on their way, and there are still a limited number of games and playmats available while stocks last; you’ll find more details below.

We’re also taking a moment to showcase the final game in all its glory. If you’ve been waiting on the sidelines, now is a great time to take a look and secure the Kickstarter edition before it’s gone.

Grab your pickaxes and let’s dig in!

---

KICKSTARTER FULFILLMENT COMPLETE
Other than a handful of pending playmat deliveries to backers in some territories requiring special customs clearance, we are delighted to announce that fulfilment of Terraria: The Board Game to Kickstarter backers is complete!

If you recently placed a late pledge via BackerKit, your order will be shipped from your local hub soon. Pre-order details are sent to hubs weekly, and your order will be marked as fulfilled on BackerKit once it leaves the warehouse.

MISSED THE PLAYMAT?
Good news; a limited number of playmats remain available for those who missed out during the campaign - grab yours here: Pre-order ⛏ Terraria: The Board Game on BackerKit[terraria-board-game.backerkit.com]

Even if you don’t own the game, the back of the playmat features an evocative WoF vs Terrarian scene by the fantastic George Doutsiopoulos - perfect as a desk mat or playmat for your favourite card games.

GAME SHOWCASE

We wanted to take the opportunity to showcase the final Kickstarter edition of Terraria: The Board Game in its completed form. Below are shots of the Kickstarter edition, which includes exclusive modular boss miniatures, foiled cards, dual layer boards, Developer promo packs and more!

You can buy final copies of the Kickstarter edition at Pre-order ⛏ Terraria: The Board Game on BackerKit .

We wanted to include as many of your favourite biomes, weapons, enemies, NPCs and achievements as we could - Terraria: The Board Game contains a huge amount of content and replayability. And yes… there are yoyos!

All of that content is organised using a bespoke tray system, ensuring that everything is neat, easily accessible and quick to set up.

One of our key goals was making player progression feel tangible and customisable; the game features dual layer player boards that allow players to securely slot in gear, armor, and vanity loadouts as they build their character over time. Transparent cards let you see your character change before your eyes!

The game features six iconic bosses, each with unique behaviours, represented with a distinct colour-cast miniature that physically evolves as the fight progresses.

You can get the deluxe edition of Terraria: The Board Game here: Pre-order ⛏ Terraria: The Board Game on BackerKit[terraria-board-game.backerkit.com] .

THANK YOU!

Our goal was always to translate the spirit of the video game into a physical experience, and seeing it in players’ hands has been incredibly rewarding for the whole team.

Until next time, Terrarians!
