Cross-play

With Journey's End being designed to be a conclusion to Terraria, no new major content updates are planned for the  Desktop version. However, Re-Logic has stated that they would like to implement cross-play, allowing Multiplayer between the  Desktop version,  Console version, and  Mobile version. This will require feature parity between all three versions to function properly, as Cenx has stated.

Main article: Terraria 2

In the past, Redigit has mentioned plans to release Terraria 2, a separate game from the cancelled Terraria: Otherworld, although little information is known about the nature or content in the possible upcoming sequel at this time, including whether it still exists.
