Terraria coming to consoles

Action-adventure/block-building game Terraria has shifted an impressive 1.6 million copies since it was released on PC, and this success hasn't gone unnoticed. It has now been announced by 505 Games that it's coming to Xbox Live Arcade and Playstation Network

"The block-building genre has taken the world by storm and Terraria has garnered a massive following through its increased focus on adventure and discovery." said 505's Tim Woodley.

"We're looking forward to bringing an already hugely successful experience to a brand new console audience and we can't wait for the existing Terraria fan base to experience all-new content".

Andrew Spinks, the brains behind Terraria, then added: "I can't say how excited I am to finally have Terraria come to Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3! To see it come so far is a complete shock, especially after such humble beginnings. It's always been my dream to have as many people as possible know and enjoy Terraria as much as I have, and this is another big step in that direction!"

"It's been awesome working with 505 Games, and I can't wait for everyone to see the additional features that they've been able to bring to this new edition of the game."

The port over to console is being handled by Engine Software, and both versions should be released early next year.
