Re-Logic has officially delayed Terraria’s highly anticipated 1.4.5 update to 2025. While the news may disappoint some fans, the developer has sound reasons for pushing back the release, especially with the holiday season approaching.
Terraria’s longevity is remarkable. When it first launched on PC in 2011, many viewed it as a 2D attempt to replicate the Minecraft formula. However, over the years, it has evolved into something much greater. Developer Re-Logic has continuously supported the game with frequent updates and creative crossovers, helping it remain fresh and engaging. Additionally, the thriving community has contributed an array of mods, further extending Terraria’s lifespan and appeal.
In the November State of the Game blog post, Re-Logic explained its decision to postpone the 1.4.5 update, citing the challenges associated with year-end releases. Issues such as review cycles and staff taking early holiday leave made it a risky timeframe. The studio emphasized its commitment to avoiding crunch, stating it wouldn’t push its team—or any collaborators—toward an “arbitrary deadline.” As a "quality-first studio," Re-Logic aims to ensure every update meets its high standards, which is why the update, originally announced in 2022, has been delayed.
The 1.4.5 update promises to be a massive addition to the game, and the early previews suggest it will be worth the wait. One highlight includes the ability to plant acorns using a slingshot, offering new gameplay mechanics. There was also another teaser for the highly anticipated Terraria Palworld crossover, alongside a demonstration of the Infused Fertilizer feature, which allows trees to grow rapidly to impressive heights.
Fans of Terraria can look forward to an exciting 2025. Though the wait has been long, Re-Logic’s dedication to quality hints that the update will be polished and expansive upon release. Additionally, the update will feature the Terraria Dead Cells crossover, another collaboration likely to bring surprises and fresh content for players.
