A recent comment, by Terraria creator Andrew Spinks, on the official Terraria Discord suggests that, for a price, cancelled spin-off Terraria: Otherworld could be released for fans to complete.
It’s not even much of a price. Responding to one of the usual comments about finishing Terraria: Otherworld, Spinks wrote: “100,000 signatures and $15 and I’ll open source it” – what a tease. Terraria: Otherworld was announced in 2015 as a role-playing, strategy game spin-off of Re-Logic’s Minecraft-adjacent Terraria. Otherworld was officially cancelled in 2018, because Re-Logic was unable to commit to the massive amount of time it was going to take for the game to reach its potential.
So, obviously, a petition has appeared on change.org. The petition has a significantly reduced signature goal, but still. When asked by PC Gamer if they intended the Discord comment to be a promise, Re-Logic responded with more vaguery.
We can neither confirm nor deny any possible outcome in the event that the 100,000 signatures are obtained… and of course there is always the matter of the $15.
For things that are actually happening, Terraria: Journey’s End launches on 16 May 2020. As the name suggests, it will be the last Terraria update, aside from any future required fixes, before Re-Logic moves on to something else. The update it free for Terraria owners.
