PC gamers were saddened when the developers of the pixel-perfect 2D building, exploration and combat game Terraria announced an end to game updates. Well good news, sort of! Terraria is returning with brand-new content... to Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Network.
The announcement that appeared this morning on the game's official Facebook page was met with mixed reactions from Terraria's mainly PC fan base. Some are excited that the game will reach a new audience, hopeful that this new console content will also make its way to PC.
Others are just being fussy.
Great news for a guy who can give 2 shits about consoles.. I think Re-Logic meant to say "Awesome news for us! We're selling out!"
Me? I'm just glad to have more Terraria in any form Re-Logic deems to distribute it in.
Update: The press release has hit, aiming the game at an early 2013 release.
"I can't say how excited I am to finally have Terraria come to Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 system! To see it come so far is a complete shock, especially after such humble beginnings," said Andrew Spinks, creator of Terraria. "It's always been my dream to have as many people as possible know and enjoy Terraria as much as I have and this is another big step in that direction. It's been awesome working with 505 Games and I can't wait for everyone to see the additional features that they've been able to bring to this new edition of the game."
