Upcoming features

This page is about features that have been announced by official game developers. Please remember that none of this is guaranteed to be included in the game.

Some of the following information hasn't been explicitly announced yet, and are only listed upon assumption of information released by the developers (i.e. screenshots). Some names are conjectural, and therefore may not be the final name upon release. References with a dotted underline will indicate where the information is exactly sourced from within the reference when hovered over with the cursor.

1.1 (next patch)
1.1 is planned to be the first major content update. Its release date is currently unknown. However, Redigit has stated that the soonest it will be out is November, but might be as late as December. It will be a very large content update, akin to a "free expansion pack," according to Redigit.

New items

 * Hallowed Seeds, which can be planted to create an "anti-corruption" biome (which stops the Corruption from spreading).


 * New sets of items. The new ores can only be found after completing certain tasks. The armors all seem to have slight helmet variations.
 * Set of Cobalt items:
 * Cobalt Ore
 * Cobalt armor (re-introduction).
 * Set of Mythril items:

 * Mythril armor
 * Mythril Repeater (a new bow, appears to be a crossbow).

 * Excalibur: a white/gold-colored broadsword (appears to give off particle effect).
 * Pwnhammer: This white/gold hammer can break Demon Altars, blessing the world with one of the 3 new ores (chosen randomly). The Demon Altars drop Hallowed Seeds when destroyed. The name is a reference to Super Mario Bros. X, a game Redigit has previously worked on.
