Re-Logic has confirmed that there is “no way” we will see Terraria 1.4.5 released this year.
In a lengthy update on the official forums, Ted “Loki” Murphy said that as the team nears the end of their respective to-do lists, year-end releases are “fraught with danger” due to longer review cycles. the people who go. on early leave for the holidays. Accordingly, you will not “force anyone on our team or anyone else’s to crunch.”
“Work on each member of the development team’s final lists is nearing completion, which is a great measure of progress,” Murphy wrote. “That said, we’re pretty sure there’s no way we’ll see Terraria 1.4.5 release this year.
“To make a long story short, year-end releases (especially if you’re trying to time the release on PC-Mobile-Console AND do it globally at the same time) are fraught with danger due to review cycles, people dropping out early for holidays, etc. The hope was that we could fix things before that end of the year mess, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.
“We’re also not going to force anyone on our team or anyone else’s team to meet what would be an arbitrary deadline,” Murphy added. “That said, the next Terraria update is moving forward to 2025.”
Acknowledging that the news “will not be welcome to many,” Murphy added that Re-Logic “remains[s] “We are committed to being a quality-first studio, so we will take the time to make each update feel ‘just right’… and we believe that once the update is available, everyone will appreciate that time and attention” .
“I’m sure I apologize for taking so long, but it will be worth it,” he added.
We recently learned that Terraria will be teaming up with open-world pocket monster survival game Palworld for the latter’s first major brand crossover. Exactly what this will entail remains to be seen, but artwork posted to social media earlier this week shows characters from the two games interacting ahead of the crossover that will occur sometime in 2025.
