We heard from Pipeworks Studio this week that Terraria is still in the works for Switch. Interestingly, a listing for the game has now appeared on Amazon Canada. That would seem to confirm that a physical version is happening similar to 3DS and Wii U.
As for an estimated release window, Amazon Canada sadly doesn’t provide anything new there. The retailer merely lists an obviously placeholder of December 31.
Terraria was originally intended for release on Switch sometime in 2017. We’re without a release date, but perhaps Amazon Canada’s listing is a sign that we could be seeing it sooner rather than later.

Atooi started a Kickstarter for Chicken Wiggle Workshop a few weeks ago. With just a few days remaining in the campaign, the $30,000 target goal has been met. Chicken Wiggle Workshop will officially be made for Switch.
Chicken Wiggle Workshop is built on the same foundation as the overlooked 3DS game in which you can create platforming levels and share them online. For the Switch version, Atooi will be implementing HD artwork, though the original style will still be an option as well.
