History edit

Re-Logic was founded at the beginning of Terraria's development cycle, starting in January 2011, by Andrew Spinks.[3][4] The game was released for Microsoft Windows on 16 May 2011[5] and received multiple updates later on. In February 2012, Re-Logic's developers announced that Terraria would be receiving one final bug-fix patch,[6] but development resumed in 2013.[7] At E3 2019, Re-Logic announced the final update to the game. Update 1.4 Journey's End was released on 16 May 2020. Re-Logic stated that they wanted to work on other projects after this update.

Terraria has seen multiple console releases, which include the PlayStation 3 on 26 March 2013,[8] Xbox 360 on 27 March 2013,[8] the PlayStation Vita on 11 December 2013,[9] the PlayStation 4 on 11 November 2014,[10] the Xbox One on 14 November 2014,[11] the Nintendo 3DS on 10 December 2015,[12] and the Wii U in June 2016.[13] The game was also released for iOS on 29 August 2013,[14] for Android on 13 September 2013,[15] and for Windows Phone on 12 September 2014.[16]

The company published Pixel Piracy, a side-scrolling real-time strategy video game, for Windows, macOS, and Linux on 1 December 2013,[17] for the PlayStation 4 on 16 February 2016,[18] and for the Xbox One on 16 February 2016.[19] On 21 February 2017 Re-Logic published Pixel Privateers, a turn-based strategy video game for Windows.[20]

In February 2015, Re-Logic began development of Terraria: Otherworld, a game set in the same universe as Terraria. The game was announced in a teaser trailer on 16 February 2015,[21] however, on 13 April 2018, the game was cancelled due it being far behind schedule and far from the vision Re-Logic had for it.[22]

In 2019, in response to the increasing number of games becoming exclusive to the Epic Games Store, Re-Logic's vice president Whitney Spinks asserted that no Re-Logic titles would become Epic Games Store exclusives, adding that the company would never "sell [their] souls" for any amount of money.[23]

In February 2021, Andrew Spinks had a public falling out with Google over the unexplained suspension of Re-Logic/Spinks's Google account over three weeks prior,[24] losing access to his YouTube channel, Gmail, and Google Drive.[25] He announced that as a result, Terraria would not be coming to Stadia[26] and that Re-Logic will not release any new projects on Google platforms in the future.[27][28] A month later, Re-Logic settled with Google on the suspension of Spinks's Google account and confirmed that Terraria would be heading to Stadia.[29] The game was released on the platform in March 2021.[30]
