Terraria – Actualización «Journey’s End» se lanzará el próximo 16 de Mayo; Changelog

Luego de casi tres años sin nuevos updates, el developer Re-Logic anunció hoy que la esperada actualización 1.4 (previamente iba a ser la 1.3.6), titulada Journey’s End, llegará a Terraria el próximo 16 de mayo, como motivo del noveno aniversario del juego.

Journey’s End será la cuarta y última gran actualización del juego, que modificará o actualizará gran parte del contenido que actualmente se siente desactualizado u obsoleto (luego de haberse lanzado la versión 1.3.5 en abril del 2017). Journey’s End supondrá una nueva era para Terraria al brindar una experiencia completamente renovada con nuevas mecánicas de juego y más de 800 ítems.

Debajo se encuentra el trailer de la E3 2019 (el último publicado por el developer) y el changelog de Journey’s End (en inglés).
