Indie wonder Terraria, which has more similarities than one with Mojang’s Minecraft, will be heading to consoles via PSN and Xbox Live in 2013. This game holds the distinction of being one of the top-selling titles on Steam, having sold 200,000 copies through the service within a week. It currently has a total of 1.6 million players in its community.
The gameplay of the title revolves around elements like exploration, crafting, construction and combat. Moreover, apart from action adventure constituents, it even proffers players with RPG and platformer mechanics. Its sandbox environments feature randomly generated worlds, and have lots of stuff for gamers to explore.
“I can’t say how excited I am to finally have Terraria come to Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3! To see it come so far is a complete shock, especially after such humble beginnings. It’s always been my dream to have as many people as possible know and enjoy Terraria as much as I have, and this is another big step in that direction! It’s been awesome working with 505 Games, and I can’t wait for everyone to see the additional features that they’ve been able to bring to this new edition of the game,” Andrew Spinks, creator of Terraria, commented.
The game offers single-player as well as multiplayer co-op gameplay. This console version will be developed by the same studio – Re-Logic. Its publishing duties will be handled by 505 Games. The game can currently be purchased via Steam for PC at a price of 9.99 USD (approx. Rs. 555).
The Terraria release date for PSN and Xbox Live is still to be revealed. However, it has been confirmed that the game will be coming out on the said platforms in 2013.
