Fifteen Years?! That is a long time indeed! That's 131,400 hours - which quite a few of you have chosen to spend with our humble game. To say that reaching this milestone is equal parts insane and humbling is a massive understatement. It is really hard to put into words what your support for these many years has meant to our little studio. Simply put, you all are the engine that makes this all work. Your support allows us to keep going, keep expanding upon Terraria, without having to fall back to price increases or microtransactions. This is becoming increasingly rare in modern gaming, and we cannot thank you enough for making what we do every day possible.
From the hardcore players with thousands of hours to those just discovering our "metroidvania in a sandbox" today... from the builders to the speedrunners... from those that we interact with regularly in our community to those that just enjoy the game in silence... from those that are regular Terraria enjoyers to those that like to shake things up with all sorts of mods on tModloader... each and every one of you are precious to us. We hope that our game has brought you some joy over the years. Terraria is a unique experience one that we like to think that we have shaped together alongside the fans into the awesomeness that it is today. This is as much your journey as it is ours!
We thought that it might be fun to toss out some quick numbers to mark the occasion...

How about you - how many hours have you played? When did you start? What is your favorite memory of your time with Terraria?
So, where does the path lead from here? What does the future hold for Terraria and Re-Logic?
Well, for now we are comfortable confirming that Crossplay is on deck soon... and that Terraria Updates will continue beyond 1.4.6/Crossplay. How that will work and what those entail will be shared as we go along. You will want to stay tuned for that!
Beyond that, we have other plans and ideas that we will share when the time is right, but suffice to say that the world of Terraria remains and will remain vibrant and alive for as long as we have anything to say about it!
Here's to 15 more years... and beyond!
In celebration of the 15th Anniversary of Terraria, we have been working with a couple of trusted partners to put together a few items that we hope that everyone will enjoy. Check out the details below - and if you have any interest, go ahead and get your preorder in today.
TERRARIA 15TH ANNIVERSARY COLLECTOR'S EDITION - COMING SOON!
To mark the occasion of Terraria reaching 15 years, we have been working on a 15th Anniversary Collector's Edition box set. While we are not quite ready to kick off preorders just yet, we wanted to give you a little teaser of what is to come. There is some really cool stuff in this CE, and we think you are going to enjoy it.
Expect to receive full details and for preorders to open up sometime in early June. Until then, speculate away!
