Upcoming features

This page describes future features announced by Terraria's developers. None of these are guaranteed to be included in the game.

Some of the following information hasn't been explicitly announced yet, and are only conjectured based on comments or screenshots from the developers. Item and feature names may be especially conjectural, and may not be the final names present in the release.

1.2
After announcing on 21 February 2012 that Terraria development had ceased, Redigit hinted on 23 January 2013 at a possible update. Since then, the developers have spoken openly about various details of a 1.2 update. They have stated that the 1.2 update will be larger than the 1.1 update (the one that introduced Hardmode). 1.2 has been confirmed to be released on October 1st.

The following information is mainly based on various statements and screenshots released on the Terraria forums, IRC channel, and Redigit's official Twitter account. It is preliminary information and might not be completely accurate.
