Terraria: Otherworld Cancelled Following Three-Year Development

Game cancellations are nothing new, but they are almost always a disappointment to players who will never get to try them. Recently, this happened to the previously-upcoming title Terraria: Otherworld, which was a spinoff of the original game, Terraria. The developers officially confirmed that it has been canceled and fans will need to cope with their disappointment.

The game’s publisher, Re-Logic made the announcement via the official forum of the title, noting the reasons for why the cancelation had to be done. For the most part, it would seem that a lot of it had to do with the fact that the game simply wasn’t what they set out to create.

The game has been in development for three years and it would seem that in that time, the people working on the project realized that they simply won’t be able to finish the project in the time and quality that they wanted. As such, they had no choice but to cancel development.

“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,” the post reads.

“As a result, we have made the decision to terminate development of Terraria: Otherworld.”

As PCGamesN notes, the game’s development has been plagued with issues for a long time. While it was announced back in 2015, it had to go through several reboots and iterations before the studio finally decided to simply cancel the project. For now, it seems fans of the franchise will simply have to wait for Terraria 2 to come out if they want to play a new installment to the property, which is still likely a long way off.
