When Terraria launched on PC last year, many dismissed it as simply a 2D Minecraft clone. However, those who played it soon found that the world of Terraria contained much of its own to discover. Sure, you mine and craft, but also engage in fun 2D combat, create awesome weapons, and even bring down some massive bosses. Now, 505 Games have announced that it’s on its way to the Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network.
“The block-building genre has taken the world by storm and Terraria has garnered a massive following through its increased focus on adventure and discovery.” said Tim Woodley, Head of Global Brand for 505 Games. “We’re looking forward to bringing an already hugely successful experience to a brand new console audience and we can’t wait for the existing Terraria fan base to experience all-new content”.
Andrew Spinks, creator of Terraria added “I can’t say how excited I am to finally have Terraria come to Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3! To see it come so far is a complete shock, especially after such humble beginnings. 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.”
That’s about all we know at the moment - no price, release date, or details of the new features, but we’ll certainly be keeping up-to-date with all the news regarding the console ports. As it stands, Terraria is expected on XBLA and PSN early 2013, which gives us plenty of time to plan our Terrarian mansions.
