Mobile
505 Games has just recently released the spoiler trailer for 1.2.3 and 1.2.4! Enjoy!



They state:

"Hello Terrarians!

By now, some of you will have picked up on the news release we gave out at E3 around Mobile Terraria adding 1.2.3 & 1.2.4 content in the coming months. We are here today to confirm that this is absolutely the plan - and we hope to have it in your hands during Q3 2015!

This will include Minecarts, Fishing, and everything else that will get Mobile Terraria up to date - well, until 1.3 launches at least...but that's a different story.

To help get you ready for this huge release, we have a little video to share with you! Please note that all of this is still VERY MUCH under development and testing - so pardon any rough edges. These are all things that we are still working towards - but we did not want you guys to have to wait any longer to have a glimpse. :)"

Terraria: Otherworld
Loki has yet again published another exciting Otherworld spoiler!



He states:

"Feast your eyes upon a bit more of our User Interface - this time giving you a small taste for one way in which you can customize your Towers as you struggle headlong in to your attempts to push back against the Corruption. Tower of Power? Tower of Terror? The choice is yours...."

Terraria 1.3 Streams Galore! - June 28th
Along with the streams by Hero, Pedguin, and Ox33, PC Gamer will be hosting a streaming event for the release of 1.3!

You can find the schedule and the links to the idividual streams here!

Loki states:

"Happy Terraria 1.3 Launch Eve Terrarians!

In order to help you survive the last few hours until you have your hands on this amazing update, we have partnered with a whole host of Live Streaming individuals and groups - each of which will be playing various aspects of Terraria 1.3 for your advance viewing pleasure. This will all take place tomorrow - June 29th, 2015. Of course, if you would rather be surprised - well, then you may want to isolate yourself in a quiet place...maybe with a nice book...for the next 24-48 hours or so. ;)

The centerpiece of tomorrow's streaming extravaganza will be a streaming event hosted by PC Gamer from 5pm-8pm EST! As many members of the Re-Logic team as possible plan to be in attendance at the PC Gamer event - and we will be making appearances at other streams throughout the day as well."

Mac & Linux Update - June 23rd
We finally have some news regarding the Max/Linux version of Terraria!

Loki states:

"We do want to give our Mac and Linux Terrarians a quick update as well. Based upon current status and planning, the plan is that Mac/Linux will launch shortly after 1.3 - aiming for a launch within the month of July. This is being done to ensure the most stable Mac/Linux builds possible so that everyone has the best experience that we can provide.

Of course, we will do everything possible to make this time window as small as we can. We absolutely want the Terraria 1.3 goodness in the hands of our Mac and Linux folks ASAP! Stay tuned."
