There's a big Terraria update coming tomorrow, another some herald as the final one, bringing a wealth of new additions, including some crossovers with Dead Cells and Palworld. Dubbed "Bigger & Boulder," this one lives up to the name on paper – and looking at the trailer, it's even more exciting in motion.
For Palworld, players are getting a Digtoise they can call on in times of need. We don't yet know if you can make this thing a pet or not, but it’s cute and handy nonetheless. On the Dead Cells side of things, there's a ton of equipment, including the Beheaded’s full get-up as a costume, and the Mushroom Staff, which should become everyone’s favorite weapon as it provides a small fungi companion.
In terms of what this trailer more specifically spotlights, something that rightfully gets some attention is the Minecraft-inspired Skyblock seed that spawns an island in the sky for you to build out your base. As magical as being among the clouds is (and it does look awesome_ finding resources is harder, and expansion requires much more planning.
On top of this, there's a seeds menu at world creation now, where you can concoct bizarre new worlds by mixing up your seeds. We knew previously these combinations could land you as a vampire or replace the oceans with something other than water, and now developer Re-Logic says there are over 100 combinations. In other words, there's no shortage of testing to have fun with.
It's a lot to look forward to experiencing – but that's not all. Decor and furnishing enthusiasts can expect to get their hands on some fresh new blocks, with stunning themed furniture to experiment with. Also, can we talk about those Stardew Valley-esque character portraits for a moment? No NPC will ever quite appear the same again (at least in my mind's eye, that is).
The chaos and charm don't stop there, though. We can all find out more and start building those sky castles when the update is live on January 27... or, if you're me, probably toppple of the edge and die a horrible death.
