Enduringly in style 2D mine-and-crafter Terraria‘s next big patch has been teased for a while, and at E3’s PC Gaming Show yesterday, builders Re-Logic announced it will be its last. Formerly referred to as model 1.3.6, Journey’s End shall be including one final large spherical of options and content material. There’ll be a wide range of quality-of-life options, one other 800 gadgets to find (or construct), and the standard new bunch of bosses and monsters to hunt. There’s an expanded climate system, a golf mini-game, a brutal new problem stage and an overhaul to how the game generates worlds. Below, the trailer.
Journey’s End shall be a free replace for everybody, formally bringing the game as much as model 1.4. It’s deliberate as the ultimate main launch for the game, and whereas there’ll be smaller patches to shine up the free new enlargement, however the game is formally being put out to pasture, after a formidable eight yr run. There’s no date pinned down for this replace, however Re-Logic are aiming to get it out someday within the subsequent six months. If it must be delayed additional, it could be.
Not featured within the trailer, however one characteristic on the best way – the Void Vault – ought to assist drastically. Rather than run out of stock house, a portal will open to suck unfastened gadgets right into a vault again at your own home base. Similarly small however impactful is the Block Swap characteristic, proven within the trailer, which lets you exchange blocks with out having to mine them up. An enormous quality-of-life enchancment. Apparently there’s a bunch extra stuff that they wish to hold secret till launch, or drip-feed in teaser information over the approaching months. However you slice it, this appears like a giant replace.
My solely concern with Journey’s End is that because of it altering elementary elements like world technology, it appears more likely to break the game’s unofficial modding assist for some time. You would possibly wish to try my roundup of the biggest and best Terraria mods earlier than the brand new patch hits. It is likely to be some time till every little thing is up to date to play good with Journey’s End, and I’ve a sneaking suspicion that a number of mods by no means will. At least it needs to be a steady platform to mod after this launch.
As for what’s subsequent for Re-Logic? They’re secretive, however affirm that they’ll be beginning work on their subsequent game. Apparently not even they know what that is likely to be but, so it is likely to be a while – probably years – earlier than an announcement. Or they may have one thing secret ready within the wings. Either appears potential.
