Greetings Terrarians!
Hot enough for you out there? The way we figure it, there is no better way to dodge these insane heatwaves than getting some game time. Of course, we remain hard at work on the latest update (1.4.5.7) as well as laying the groundwork for what is to come soon thereafter. Parts of the team are also gearing up for some upcoming travel. It is an exciting time for Terraria and our team, and we cannot wait to share that journey with all of you in the coming months. For now, we will just leave the details as a mystery!
Let's dive right into the latest Terraria news...

TERRARIA 1.4.5.7 - THE FINAL PUSH
Terraria 1.4.5.7 is nearing completion at last! We expect to have development work wrapped up shortly, and then we just have to do a localization pass (getting the various translations and adding them in) and the latest Terraria update will be ready for submissions. Once it clears submissions (as with 1.4.5, we are aiming for a sync launch across PC/Console/Mobile), you will finally have access to all of the new goodies and balance tweaks.
Of course, we expect that there will be more feedback in regards to the balance changes (it is impossible to ever get it perfectly right in one go) - the plan is to roll any additional tweaks from that feedback into the next update (currently expected to be Crossplay Phase One). This one has taken a good while, but we are excited for what is to come your way very soon.
In August, we will be getting together in person with our good friends at DR Studios for some planning and roadmap work - setting the path in place for future Terraria updates. We will share some pics and details from those sessions in a future State of the Game.
All that said, shall we check out a little spoiler?

Keep your thoughts and feedback rolling in - Terraria 1.4.5.7 will be with you soon!

TMODLOADER NEWS - TML TEAM
Hello everyone!
On August 1st the regular monthly update release of tModLoader for 1.4.4 will go live. Some notable features include an in-game menu for switching between beta branches and the highly requested ModifyEquipTextureDraw and ModifyItemDraw hooks.
As mentioned previously, the tModLoader team has been spending most of our efforts working on updating tModLoader to the Terraria 1.4.5 update. We are continuing to see a huge amount of community participation and contributions for the 1.4.5 update and are extremely grateful for those willing to help with this process through code contributions, bug reporting, testing, and participating in the discussions that take place on Discord. The tModLoader team will continue to work with experienced modders to progress towards the tModLoader 1.4.5 update.
This process as well as any other big changes desired by the modding community for this update will take many months still. There are still many tasks to be done, if you are interested in contributing code for the 1.4.5 update, the 1.4.5 Update Information page has information on how to contribute and what tasks remain to be done. That page also explains how to join the "1.4.5-dev" beta branch on Steam to test out the current state of the update. Users can join that beta branch to help identify and report remaining bugs.
Modders and users should also keep an eye out for our monthly Steam announcement on the 1st where a complete listing of bug fixes and API changes for this month's release will be listed. The in-game news button on the main menu will direct you directly to the announcement once it is live.
We look forward to seeing how mods make use of these new features. As always, if you are having issues of any sort, definitely don't hesitate to check out our FAQ on github or reach out to us at our Discord.

Hello Terrarians!
As our good friends on the PC side of the house covered, we are in the final stages of wrapping up development work on Terraria 1.4.5.7. Since this is intended to be a simultaneous launch across PC/Console/Mobile, we are happy to share that we have kept pace and it should be all systems go in that regard. We are also very much looking forward to the planning sessions with Re-Logic next month. Exciting stuff!
Of course, we would be remiss to not share a spoiler while you are here, right?
Who says that you can't teach old arrows new tricks?

This premium book will chart the design and development of Terraria from its inception back in 2011 through to today, written by Christian Donlan.
Now you can dig into the game’s development itself with Terraria: Design Works. Based on in-depth interviews with Andrew Spinks, the singular individual who created Terraria, along with the fascinating team who have worked with him to keep the game thriving for the last fifteen years, this is the story of a game developed with passion, ingenuity, imagination and generosity.
It’s easy to lose yourself in Terraria when playing, and now you’ll discover the challenges of charting a development course through such a rich, sprawling, and surprising game. You’ll meet the people who have worked with Spinks to evolve his original design, and you’ll come to understand where many of Terraria’s legendary elements come from, whether that’s a biome, an end-game monster or just a really cool sword!
Packed with behind the scene insights, developer interviews and never seen before content, the book is available standalone or as part of a Deluxe Edition complete with a treasure trove of Terraria goodies.
Preorder your copy today via the link below!
The book will be available standalone or as part of a Deluxe Edition complete with a suite of extras. A must have for all Terraria fans!
