Next Terraria Update Adding New Transformation and More

Re-Logic has teased more of the changes coming to Terraria with the May 2024 State of the Game update. Fans of Terraria are eagerly awaiting the launch of the 1.4.5 update, and the most recent announcement offers a small glimpse of what gamers can expect from it.

Terraria is a game with a wide myriad of content available thanks to frequent content updates in its 13 years of running, and Re-Logic doesn’t intend to slow down anytime soon. Ever since the supposed “last update” that Terraria received with the Journey’s End update, Re-Logic has continued to supply fans of the game with a steady stream of new content, and with 1.4.5 getting closer, fans are eager to get their hands on the upcoming additions planned for the game.

As posted on Terraria forums, the May 2024 State of the Game update shows off new transformations that the player can take, demonstrating with a GIF of the player turning into a rat so they can fit in tight spaces and climb up walls. While we still have no official release date, the teaser did come with other news, notably that two new members have officially joined the Re-Logic team: Jopojelly and Kazzymodus. The two have a long history working on the game; Kazzymodus as a beta-tester, and Jopojelly as an avid mod creator through tModLauncher.

Players can Turn Into a Rat in the Upcoming Terraria Update

This isn’t the first teaser that gamers have been offered for the update. A few months ago, fans were shown a few small tidbits, with the standout update being a quality-of-life change to how banners will function in Terraria 1.4.5. Re-Logic also showed off the roller skates, which allow players to move slowly across buildings and remove the threat of falling when base-building. Terraria 1.4.5 also promises to bring lots of bug fixes, balance changes, and more inventory QoL changes.

Fans of the game seem very receptive to the news, and the introduction of more people to the Re-Logic team, specifically people who already do a lot of work on Terraria, could point towards the possibility of there being another major patch for Terraria in the works. With Terraria often credited as one of the greatest sandbox games ever made, it’s clear that Re-Logic put a lot of care into the game, a factor that has allowed it to stay relevant for so long.

Re-Logic has said previously that it believes 2024 could be the biggest year yet for Terraria, which is a bold statement considering the game’s already unfathomable popularity, but with everything Re-Logic is doing, it might not be so far-fetched. 1.4.5 has the potential to be a huge update for Terraria, and when combined with Terraria 1.1 getting re-released as a beta branch in celebration of the anniversary, a crossover with Dead Cells, the release of a Terraria board game, and the plethora of new changes coming plus plenty more that players don’t know about yet, it’s no surprise to see Terraria still going as strong as ever.
