The final update for the hit indie sandbox game Terraria, titled Journey's End, will launch on PC May 16th. Terraria, which was first released on May 16th, 2011, is a pixel-art RPG with exploration, combat, and construction that leads to its common description as a "2D Mojang's mega-hit beyond its aesthetic and missing dimension with a greater focus on loot, boss fights, and NPCs. Terraria, developed by indie studio Re-Logic, has gone on to reach its own levels of success, selling over 27 million copies and ported to pretty much every platform on the market.
Part of this success is due to its depth from 9 years of consistent updates, with the final update coming later this year as announced by Re-Logic founder Andrew Spinks on Terraria: Journey's End brings over 800 new items, a new difficulty mode, a bestiary, the ability to play golf, and dozens of quality of life improvements. Later, Spinks clarified that dates for the console release of Journey's End would come soon.
Journey's End is the fourth major update for Terraria, and like all the others is completely free for all s. It's bittersweet to see the final update for one of the most beloved indie games of the past century, but it will also be exciting to see what Re-Logic can come up with next beyond Terraria and the lesser-known Pixel Piracy. May 16th is not a randomly chosen date, either: it's the 9th anniversary of Terraria. Check out the announcement below:
