Terraria

Terraria is still in development for Switch, more than a couple of years after it was originally announced. As the wait continues, developer Pipeworks Studios shared a new look at the game running on Nintendo’s console. Check out the footage below.

A Switch version of the hit PC game in Terraria has been in development for quite some time – it was initially announced almost two years ago, even before the Switch’s launch. Since then, the game has been quietly pushed back several times; however, it seems like we might now actually be close to the game’s release. An official development update on the Switch version was shared on the official Terraria forums:

The team at Pipeworks is happy to announce that we’ve hit a major milestone in Switch development. Our alpha build has been submitted for review, which means major gameplay systems are in-game and ready for Re-Logic to check out. Pipeworks will be focused on our beta milestone now which means bug fixes, polish, and addressing other feedback from both 505 Games & Re-Logic.

Expect Switch livestreams, feature showcases, and other forms of content to start appearing in your feeds as we get closer to beta.

The team is thrilled at the state of our alpha build and we can’t wait to show you all the work that has been going on behind-the-scenes! It’ll be worth the wait.

A game entering its alpha version usually means that its release isn’t too far off. Hopefully we’ll hear more about Terraria’s Switch version soon.

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. 

Terraria was announced for Switch a year ago. Despite that, we’ve barely seen any news since the initial confirmation.

While there still isn’t much to report, Pipeworks says that the Switch version of Terraria is still happening. The developer relayed on Twitter:

Terraria has a big update on the way. Version 1.3 adjusted existing elements, brought in new events such as Martian Madness and Slime Rain, new furniture and potions, and an Expert mode.

When Terraria makes its way to Switch, it should come with the new version. Also, due to various restrictions, the update will not be distributed on Wii U or 3DS.

Footage of Terraria 1.3 can be found in the video below.

Engine Software handled the Wii U version of Terraria while CodeGlue was responsible for the 3DS release. The game was also just announced for Switch today, and that edition is being handled by the main console team.

Pipework Studio is behind Terraria on Switch. In case you’re curious, that’s the same group in charge of the title on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
