Rounding Out the Journey: Terraria 1.4.1 is Here! The latest update to the Terraria experience on PC launches today! Read More October 12, 2020. Terraria: Journey's End Out Now! The fourth major content update for Terraria is out! Get all the details! Read More May 16, 2020.
While Terraria's been around since May 2011 on PC, the game's scope has grown such that it still amassed 8.5m of those sales in the last 18 months (since version 1.3 launched on PC).
Terraria debuted in May 2011 on Windows PC, meaning that it took about five and a half years for the game to reach the 20 million mark. According to Re-Logic, 8.5 million of those 20 million. NEXT GEN CONSOLE CONTENT: All of the of the original PC content will be packed into the Terraria Next Gen releases along with 2014's MASSIVE 1.2 UPDATE that saw the game's content and feature set DOUBLE in size! The console content now includes: HD graphical upgrades, with a brighter sun and darker Midnight during in-game day and night cycles. Make sure you guys join my discord: For more terraria news. Greetings, Terrarians! Welcome to launch day for Terraria 1.4.1 on PC! As we have alluded to in previous news items and spoilers around this update, Terraria 1.4.1 is primarily focused on adding in pieces that were not quite ready in time for the Journey's End launch date - along with more fixes, balance tweaks, and a few new tidbits that we decided to add along the way.
One reason for this is that Terraria has expanded to be on a tonne of platforms. These days you can acquire the mining and crafting game on Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, Vita, PS4, 3DS, Wii U, iOS, Android, Windows Phone, and Amazon mobile devices, in addition to the usual PC/Mac/Linux versions.
The other reason Terraria's had such a strong tail is that Re-Logic has added loads of new content since its initial launch. To wit: in May 2011 Terraria only had about 250 items, six NPCs, 20 enemies, three bosses, and 10 biomes. The Terraria of 2017 now has 3800 items, 25 NPCs, 350 enemies, 16 bosses, and 27 biomes (at least on PC).
Clearly sticking with the game rather than moving on to a new project worked out well for Re-Logic.
The developer noted in its announcement that the console versions of Terraria's 1.3 update are 'just around the corner' with the mobile versions coming after that.
We were a bit late to the party on Terraria, not reviewing it until 2013 when it came to console. Our Chris Donlan highly recommended it upon playing the Xbox 360 version at launch.

So, what all does Terraria 1.4.1 contain? Here are some of the bigger topline tidbits of note - but again, refer to the full changelog for a more complete accounting of things.
VANITY CONTEST WINNER SETS

CREDITS
Who made all of this anyway? At long last, Terraria on PC has it's own credits! Upon defeating the Moon Lord for the first time, be sure to stay tuned for an awesome throwback credit sequence, including an exclusive never-before-heard music track! Want to see it again? You can access the Credits from the main menu at any time.
The Music Box (Journey's End) is now created by recording the Credits music sequence. Additionally, using it in a normal accessory slot will play the Credits sequence in-game, while using it in a social slot will only play the music.

NEW NPC - THE PRINCESS
How will you discover and unlock this regal companion? What does she do? You will have to explore and find out on your own!
NEW ACHIEVEMENTS
Next Terraria Sale 2017 Ford
Who doesn't like Achievements, right? Updated for the Journey's End era, we have included a handful of new goals for you to chase down!
NEW ITEMS
We have included a handful of new items - with several focused on filling out the early/pre-hardmode Summoner options. We are personally fans of the new Flinx-based Summoner gear.
VANITY OVERHAUL
Vanity Overhaul? What exactly do we mean here? Well - the way armors and vanity sets used to work was a bit limiting, particularly in regards to the way 'back' items worked. So, we made it better! For just one example: why pick between showing Wings or a Cape, for example, when you can have both!
Armors and vanity items which draw on the back (backpacks, tails, wings, and capes) are now no longer mutually exclusive. This means that you can now have one of any of those four categories all displaying at the same time. Previously, only one of those could ever be visible at a time (for instance, if you had visible wings, you could not ever see a cape, backpack, or tail).
Here is a visual explaining what we mean:
Prior to Terraria 1.4.1: The use of visible wings prevented capes from being visible, while the use of capes prevented shields from being visible.
In 1.4.1, these elements no longer conflict with each other, and can be used together in various combinations
There are even more overhauls to the vanity system to explore, so be sure to check out the full changelog for all the juicy details!
QUALITY OF LIFE CHANGES
Beyond Bug Fixes, we always want to try and enhance the user experience as much as possible. Here are just a few of the ways we have explored doing so in Terraria 1.4.1:
- The Journey Mode duplication menu has been overhauled, with the addition of several new filters to break up some of the larger categories
- Additionally, the Misc option in the duplication menu should more properly encompass items that do not fall under any other category
- Torch God now plays an Otherworldly track when that setting is toggled
- Bestiary now indicates if a drop is Wave-based/if it only drops after a certain wave in Frost Moon and Pumpkin Moon
- Plantero's Sombrero has made its triumphant return
- Reorganized menu settings for resolution/fullscreen/windowed borderless to all use the same sub-menu, to reduce confusion
- Updated FNA (Mac/Linux related)
- RGB support is now available for SteelSeries game peripherals
- Updated localization for all languages up to 1.4 (some 1.4.1 content may still be untranslated, and these translations will come in an upcoming hotfix)
BALANCE CHANGES
As you likely are aware, Terraria: Journey's End contained a ton of changes to balance across the entire progression of the game. As with any changes of this nature, everyone had thoughts and feedback. We invited everyone to weigh in on this robust discussion in our Official Balance/Feedback Thread - and you did not disappoint! With that feedback in hand - along with our own post-launch thoughts - we have made even more balance changes that we hope will bring things ever-closer to feeling 'just right' for most folks. A little bit of everything has been impacted here, so we really encourage you to read up before you are surprised! :)
