Terraria developer confirms sequel in the works

Terraria developer Andrew “Redigit” Spinks of studio Re-Logic has revealed that the studio is working on a sequel to the adventure sandbox game. Spinks told Rock Paper Shotgun that the sequel will be much bigger than the first game was, and will have a wider variety of gameplay, including a possibly infinite world.

“I’m super excited about starting Terraria 2,” Spinks said. “It’s a ways out, but it’s gonna have a lot in common with the original. It’s gonna be quite different as well. I really want to expand on the whole Terraria universe.”

The sequel will be even bigger in terms of scale

Sadly enough, Terraria 2 is still some time away. The game has been in the planning stages for some time, and the developer has been busy supporting Terraria with new content, such as the recent 1.2 update which added more content than the game had at launch.

“There’s a lot of stuff I’m locked into with Terraria,” he explained. “The way loot works, the way character progression works. In Terraria 2, I really want to have infinite worlds so you’re not just stuck to one world. You can travel anywhere. I want more biome diversity in that, too. There’s a lot of stuff [I want to add and change].”

Before starting work on Terraria 2, Spinks has stated that he wants to wrap up support for the first game. He talks about there being a lack of endgame content in the game, and he hopes to finish it “within the next month or two.”

Terraria is currently available on PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, iOS and Android devices.
