Mobile Easter Update Info - March 23rd


The Easter update for mobile Terraria is now available!

505 Games states:

"Spring has finally sprung (well at least in the half of the globe), and we are here to let everyone know of a few things coming very soon to the Terraria Mobile platform. First, the Easter content will once again be available (or available for the first time for our newer Terrarians ;) ).

In addition to the fun Easter content (Coming in April), what Spring would be complete without a little Spring cleaning?

Story of the Week
This week's story was created by ! This will be part one of his new series, so enjoy!

Here is this week's story!

Into the Trees - Part One

The mists of the jungle soon closed in on them, visibility decreasing to almost nil. Nothing could be seen in the voids between the trees, but the noises were still everywhere. Shrieks and chirruping marred the air, all coming from creatures unseen - but not unheard.

The two adventurers paused at a huge hole in the ground, opening into a large cave. Watery green light emanated out, its tendrils reaching high into the air like poisonous green vines. The light of the Jungle’s riches.

With a nod and a grim look, Elin and Dirk descended, with their packs, into the Underground Jungle.

It was suspiciously quiet for the first mile or two down; little moved besides the plants, and nothing disturbed them. Every so often, a whisper of something would run through the moss-covered walls, shuddering them in a single, wavelike motion. Both Dirk and Elin, subconsciously, had their weapons drawn: they were ready to fight whatever arrived.

But they weren’t ready for the hellish meteor that crashed out of the sky and landed beside them, making a dent in the mud and splattering them. A throaty roar emanated from it and a large turtle poked its head out.

What do you rate the first part of this new series? 11/10 10/10 9/10 8/10 7/10 6/10 5/10 4/10 3/10 2/10 1/10 0/10
