Terraria to Come to Playstation Vita

Fans of the video game Terraria can now rejoice.  505 Games has announced today that Terraria, their popular game previously released on the PC, Xbox 360 and Playstation Network is coming to Playstation Vita and will be available by summer of 2013.

Terraria is an 8 bit RPG that allows you to explore, fight, dig and build.  A highly popular throwback to the games of our childhood.

The Head of Global Brand at 505 Games, Tim Woodley, said “We’re all huge fans of Terraria and have been overwhelmed by the support we’ve received from the existing community since we began working on the property.  And it’s been amazing to see how many of those fans have been asking for a portable version of Terraria so they can take their adventures with them on the go.  The biggest challenge for us is how to give players the control they need to fully enjoy the experience and we’re really excited to explore the potential of the multiple input options that the Playstation Vita affords us.”

Also commenting, SCEE’s Senior Business Development Manager Shahid Ahmad said, “We are tremendously excited about bringing Terraria to PS Vita.  It’s fantastic news for fans who have been begging for the game to be available on PS Vita and it’s fantastic news for us too, we are delighted about the addition to the platform.  For us this is a real coup, the opportunity to bring such a loved game to one of our platforms is really exciting.  We are also really confident about how much fans are going to love the PS Vita version; the touch screen will ensure a totally unique experience.”
