Terraria 1.4.5 will release on January 27.
In an excitable post, Re-Logic's Loki confirmed that while the team "did have to resubmit a few things, which pushed us back a bit further than expected," the release date is now locked in and will include "things that got left out of 1.4.4" plus crossover events with Dead Cells and a second collab with Pocketpair's Palworld, this time for Terraria players.
While we're on the topic of "cross," no, unfortunately crossplay will not be a part of this update. The team does hope it'll be "made available some time after 1.4.5," but didn't hint at a timescale for that.
"The ReLogic team has ALWAYS went above and beyond for the Terraria community," writes one happy player. "For well over a decade, you guys have given us update after update for free. You guys even created a comic book AND a board game for us. On top of that, you've held tons of contests for us and have always kept us well-informed and up to date on everything relating to Terraria. What's crazy is that's not even close to all the amazing things that you guys do for us. That's why the Terraria community is the greatest gaming community on Earth."
To get an idea of just how long ago Terraria released, IGN reviewed it in 2011. Even then, though, we thought it was amazing, scoring it 9/10 and writing: "Though on the surface it looks like just another "me too" indie game seeking to ride the coattails of Minecraft's success, Terraria expands on the familiar sandbox gameplay with a greater emphasis on combat and adventure that proves very satisfying. That's rare indeed."
Here's the full update. Brace yourself — there's a lot to read!
