There's nothing cooler to me than when two successful and respectable mobile games decide to team up for a special event that bridges together some of our favorite game worlds. Pulling double duty as a spooky Halloween update and an insanely cool cross-promotional tie-in to the cult sandbox crafting game Terraria, the latest Worms 3 update from Team17 features a number of fun and seasonal customization items and accessories to keep your worms looking stylish on the battlefield this October.Judging from the first released screenshots of the update in action, some of these new Halloween accessories include pointy witch hats, creepy skull and wolf masks, and the humorous "nail through the head" gag - just what every worm cadet needs!"On the flipside, the new content based on Re-Logic's Terraria, which also just celebrated a mobile release on iOS and Android recently, will bring more exciting customization items onto the battlefield, like the Molten Helmet, Hallowed Mask, Mythril Hood, Mining Helmet, Top Hat, and Archaeologist's Hat. You'll also find 5 Terraria-themed gravestones for when your worms bite the dust, and even an exclusive Terraria speechbank.The coolest thing about the new Worms 3 update is that all of the Terraria content retains the pixelated 2D look and feel of the sandbox game, as it meshes awesomely with the new 3D style of the Worms series. The Halloween and Terraria update is live right now in Worms 3, and to celebrate its release, Team17 is currently offering the fantastic strategy game at a discounted price of $0.99 for a limited time only, so you'd better act now!
Hot on the heels of last month's iOS release of cult favorite sandbox crafting game Terraria, creator Andrew "Redigit" Spinks of Re-Logic has confirmed that a Terraria 2 is eventually on the way. However, we shouldn't expect the full-fledged sequel for quite some time, as Spinks and team have plenty more content updates in store for the original crafting adventure to take us through the rest of 2013 and beyond.In talking with Rock Paper Shotgun about the prospects of a Terraria 2, Spinks has revealed that the game has already been in the planning stages for quite some time. While the sequel will still bear quite a lot of similarities to the original Terraria game, fans can still expect to find a lot that's also completely new: specifically the mention of "infinite worlds" that won't restrict Terraria players to one confined location, and provide an unlimited sense of exploration."But in the meantime, we certainly haven't seen the last of the first Terraria, as Spinks is determined to finish some much-anticipated endgame content within the next month or two (which will add a final boss into the adventure), in addition to a possible Halloween-themed update, before fully focusing his efforts on developing Terraria 2. He is also considering opening a smaller, second team at Re-Logic to keep up with furthering the original Terraria content well after he has moved onto Terraria 2.Any Terraria fans out there? Are you ready to explore the limitless ends of Terraria 2? Be sure to let us know in the replies!
There was a time when Terraria looked like it was getting ready to step into the sunset. But that was 19 months ago, and to paraphrase Mark Twain, reports of Terraria's death have been greatly exaggerated.The popular 2D crafter game made its mobile debut on iOS just two weeks ago, and quickly burned up to the top of the charts (remaining in the Top 10 ever since). Now Terraria is available to folks who are fond of Google's mobile operating system - and it seems as though the folks behind Terraria might be fond of them too.Why, you ask? Because they've seen fit to include a Google Play exclusive - Android's cute little robot mascot is available in-game. Terraria on Android also incorporates Google Play Game Services leaderboards and achievements, as well as Facebook integration so that you can easily share screenshots of the world you create.Initially a free download, you can unlock everything the game has to offer for $4.99. Get it on Google Play now.
Would Minecraft have been up your alley if not for that pesky third dimension? If so, 2011 was probably a pretty great year for you. That's when Terraria - a sandbox game that took a rolling pin to the soul of Minecraft - first hit digital shelves.
Just when you thought your wallet was safe as all those fantastic indie bundles began to die down, this hits. The downside: you'll probably end up selling all of your possessions outside of your computer. The upside: you'll have some of the best games the industry has to offer at the lowest prices you can find anywhere. The cause of all this madness? It's the Steam Summer Sale 2012.
With its Minecraft-esque concept and its two-dimensional gameplay, Terraria became something of a hit when it was released last spring (netting an almost perfect score right here on Gamezebo). After the better part of a year in impressive sales, awards, fan support, and critical acclaim, developer Andrew "Redigit" Spinks has decided to end the developer's near-constant support for the game.
