Indie blockbuster Terraria coming to consoles

Terraria

505 Games today announced it will be bringing the independent block-building blockbuster Terraria to Xbox LIVE Arcade for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation Network.

Originally released in 2011 on PC by creator-developer Andrew Spinks' Re-logic studio; Terraria is a side-scrolling, action-adventure sandbox game, with an emphasis on crafting and exploration set in vast and vibrant worlds. It has received universal acclaim from media and fans alike -- 1.6 million "Terrarians" have struck out on their own adventures since release.

With a vast array of materials and items to collect, Terraria is far more than a mere block building game, gamers experience is limited only by their own imaginations; the world really is yours to shape and explore.

"The block-building genre has taken the world by storm and Terraria has garnered a massive following through its increased focus on adventure and discovery," said Tim Woodley, Head of Global Brand for 505 Games. "We're looking forward to bringing an already hugely successful experience to a brand new console audience and we can't wait for the existing Terraria fan base to experience all-new content."

Developed by Engine Software, Terraria will be available on Xbox LIVE Arcade and PlayStation Network in early 2013. Check out www.terraria.org for more information.
