However, we feel strongly that we owe it to our community and loyal customers to uphold the standards that both you and we expect and to focus on delivering the best possible games that we can for you all to play.
It is FAR from a happy moment for us either, when we look at all the time/effort/resources that we poured into the project. We know that the cancellation of Terraria: Otherworld will not be happy news to anyone. We sincerely thank both of our external development teams for their hard work on the game, but at some point, we have to be honest with ourselves and realize that Otherworld simply is never going to reach its potential in any sort of reasonable time or fashion. Taking the massive amount of work that would be remaining to complete along with the extensive time it would take to get that done, and how that would greatly interfere with the pursuit of other projects on behalf of Re-Logic – it becomes clear that this leaves things in a very undesirable state.Īs a result, we have made the decision to terminate development of Terraria: Otherworld. Progress has absolutely been made during that time – but unfortunately, a very thorough status review of the game versus its intended design showed both the Re-Logic and 505/Pipeworks teams that things were quite a bit further away from the finish line than we had imagined. Our team has a clear vision for this game – one that we shared with all of you with much shared excitement – and, in spite of all of our efforts, the current state of the game remains equal parts far from that vision and beyond behind schedule from our initial planning when we shared Otherworld with all of you three years ago. Just to underscore it once more, this means that we will not compromise game quality for speed to market or for any other reasons within our control. Though the project is dead, Re-Logic says that there are still elements from the spinoff that have never been shared to the Terraria community, including art, design, and "a ton of amazing ideas." Fans might end up seeing these in other projects, the studio hinted.We wanted to take a few moments to share some important news with you all in regards to the status of Terraria: Otherworld.Īs you all know from when we first announced the game a long while ago – and as we repeated in our subsequent posts – Re-Logic’s focus has and always will be on delivering complete and quality game experiences to our fanbase. "Moving ahead, our focus for the core development of new/future titles will be more inward and will seek to utilize our own people." It will also be more cautious about outsourcing companies for the development of its core projects, admitting it shouldn't have gone to another studio in the case of Terraria: Otherworld. Re-Logic promises to be more careful about sharing information about projects in development, stating that it will only share details if it's confident in regards to timing. "We will fully own that error in judgement." Re-Logic's Plans For The Future It also said that it shouldn't have shared details about the game publicly from the get-go. Re-Logic is offering an apology for fans who might be disappointed with the news. But this didn't go well, and as such, it decided to cancel the game altogether rather than release an underdeveloped title to fans of the mega-hit Terraria. Later in the development, Re-Logic had brought in Pipeworks Studios to examine whether the game was living up to the studio's expectations. "Our team has a clear vision for this game." The studio said it did not want to compromise quality to speed up development. In the announcement, Re-Logic stressed that its goal has always been to deliver a quality game not shaped by time constraints.
#HAS TERRARIA 2 BEEN CANCELLES SOFTWARE#
Re-Logic and Engine Software announced it back in 2015 for PC, with Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions being considered for a later release.
Terraria: Otherworld, much similar to the game on which it's based, was supposed to be a side-scrolling sandbox platformer set in an alternate dimension within the Terraria universe.
