Why Was Terraria’s Final Update Delayed?
The anticipated final update, version 1.4.5, was initially slated for release in 2023 but faced multiple delays, now expected in 2025.
“We are sure that will not be welcome news for many—but we remain committed to being a quality-first studio, so we will take the time necessary for each update to feel ‘just right’… and we think that once the update is out, everyone will appreciate that time and care,”
Re-Logic stated, emphasizing their dedication to delivering a polished endgame experience.

Spinks shared on Bluesky, highlighting the studio’s intent to continue refining the game until its conclusion. Additionally, he humorously stated,
“Before I die, I will upload my consciousness to Terraria, there I can troll the players for the rest of eternity,”
showcasing the developer’s playful engagement with the community.
