Acclaimed sandbox adventure Terraria coming soon to PS Vita

[Гость PlayStation®]

Your voices have been heard, and it’s my great pleasure to announce that after much discussion the teams at 505 Games, Engine Software, and Re-Logic have decided to continue our exciting journey together and bring Terraria to the PlayStation Vita! That’s right, folks – Terraria will be available to play anytime, anywhere! It’s almost like we never sleep!

Ever since we announced that Terraria was coming to console, we’ve been overwhelmed by requests for a PS Vita version. We’re tremendous fans of the PS Vita system – and especially with its touch controls, dual analogue sticks, gorgeous display, and robust online features – it seemed like a natural fit. The PS Vita is a great platform for digital games in particular, and we couldn’t be more excited to be a part of it.

For those of you who haven’t yet heard of Terraria, it’s a sandbox adventure in the style of our favorite “Metroidvania” games – an indie darling on PC that has gathered an impassioned community and sold over two million copies.

As a sandbox game, it has all the endless possibilities we’ve come to expect – you can build with dozens of blocks and craft hundreds of items – and yet it’s unique in how easy it is to pick up and play because of its platformer controls and familiar 16-bit graphics.

The core of the game focuses on exploring the sprawling, randomly-generated worlds with their exotic biomes and deep underworlds, as well as slaying the hordes of monsters and evil bosses contained within. As you progress on your adventure you mine stronger ores with which to craft better weapons and armour, and collect magic treasure to help you become any type of hero you can imagine. Laser rifles, wands, potions, flamethrowers, shark launchers – Terraria literally has it all.

The true soul of the game comes out with its multiplayer. Adventuring with (or fighting against) your friends in massive worlds is an absolute blast. Just like the PlayStation 3 version, Terraria on PS Vita will support up to eight simultaneous online players, along with competitive leaderboards and (extremely) challenging Trophies!

The joy of the game is in its sense of discovery – you never quite know what is around the next corner. The game plays great in both small chips or large chunks of time, so perfect again for the PS Vita. One thing is for sure – you will soon be racking up hours upon hours of gameplay time! In Terraria, the world is your canvas, so make it your own!

More details will follow, so stay tuned for announcements. And if you have any questions, let us know!

And for all those Terraria fans wondering where the EU PS3 version is, we’re truly gutted that the game couldn’t come out with the other versions. We’re in submission now and will release very soon. We only announced the other versions with three days notice J… so the second we have good news we will let you know.
