Terraria’s newest update 1.4.5 has been announced, and the spell-shooting sword-slashing combat will be joined by the hack-and-slash roguelite Dead Cells. This update is another indie collaboration for the beloved survival game and will allow players to enjoy the new content in Terraria themed to this Metroidvania adventure. This move further advances Terraria’s relationship with other indie developers in the market.
Developer Re-Logic stated in a Dev Post that the work on the future update will begin in the new year after they complete the necessary hotfixes for Version 1.4.4. This statement implies that work has not yet started on this new version, but it’s soon to come on the developer’s calendar. Eventually, the developers hope to add other features, such as crossplay, by the end of 2023, which should help expand the community further.
On Dead Cells’ side, the game is also getting some Terraria content. There’s a special weapon coming to Dead Cells, the heavenly sword Starfury, which allows you to strike down enemies with a glowing pink sword that will cause stars to fall from the sky and hit enemies around you. This iconic weapon is one of many new pieces of content from Terraria coming to Dead Cells. The game is also getting “The Guide.”
Version 1.4.5 of Terraria will release sometime in 2023, likely soon after the new year, and it won’t only include Dead Cells crossover content. However, Dead Cells collaboration announcement is the only new information we gleaned about the upcoming version. Stay tuned for more information about what new features we can expect in Version 1.4.5 of Terraria. Dead Cells fans can watch the official trailer below for a glimpse of the new update.
