Upcoming features

The content of this page is still in development. This information is subject to change, or may not feature in the game.

This article is about future updates. For previous updates, see Version history.

This page is about features that have been announced by official game developers. Please remember that none of this is guaranteed to be included in the game.

Some of the following information hasn't been explicitly announced yet, and are only listed upon assumption of information released by the developers (i.e. screenshots). Some names are conjectural, and therefore may not be the final name upon release. References with a dotted underline (^{[ref 1]}) will indicate where the information is exactly sourced from within the reference when hovered over with the cursor.

On February 21, 2012, Redigit announced that development has ceased for Terraria, with only bugfixes left to come. With this in mind, the features on this page are very unlikely to be implemented, barring mods.[Citation Needed]
