Fans are anxiously waiting forTerraria’s next update, which promises to be another sizable content drop. As has become tradition forTerraria, the game is crossing over with another indie hit as part of this update.
Terraria’s next update promises to be big, which is typical for the game—even in its smaller updates. Among the highlights are overhauls for boss music, a vast suite of quality-of-life changes, new whips and armors, and a heaping host of vanity items. Among the recent reveals are a revamped weather system, a new type of healing potion, and a tweak to the reforging system that’ll help prevent players from accidentally skipping desirable modifiers.
Along with these features, Re-Logic will be bringinganother indie crossover toTerraria. The title has seen a long history of cross-promotion with other indie games, includingDon’t Starve Together,Dungeon Defenders II, andStardew Valley. These crossovers typically involve content coming to both games;Don’t Starve Togethernow has the Eye of Cthulhu in-game, whileTerrariagot itself a Deerclops boss. Next in line for this treatment isDead Cells, and Re-Logic has been forthcoming about the features poised for this collaboration. The majority of these details have been given by Re-Logic’s State of the Game posts on the officialTerrariaforums, and much of the aggregation has been done by leadingTerrariaYouTuber ChippyGaming and theTerrariawiki.
A new costume was a sure bet forTerraria’s crossover withDead Cells, and it looks like Re-Logic will deliver. In a post toTerraria’s subreddit, Redigit, creator ofTerrariaand head of Re-Logic, posted a spoiler for a Beheaded costume. This depiction ofDead Cells' protagonist is in the same spoiler as a number of furniture items, including the new hanging flask—which can store items within for display.
Another furniture item included in this crossover will beDead Cells' Health Fountain. Though furniture, it’ll be far from aesthetic; the Health Fountain will buff nearby players, though the nature of that buff is unclear. In their home game, Health Fountains can be used to refill the player’s Health Flask—tying the structuretoDead Cells' roguelike mechanics. This particular teaser was revealed on theTerrariaforums by Redigit, and slipped into a screenshot as many reveals have been thus far.
A few ofDead Cells' many weaponswill arrive inTerraria, with each of the game’s four classes getting a weapon option. Melee characters will get the Flint, which was also shown off in Redigit’s Reddit post. Rangers will be best suited to the Killing Deck, while mages will get the Ram Rune. Summoners, who have been seeing increasing parity compared to other classes, will be able to summon a Mushroom Boi minion using the Mushroom Staff. The Mushroom Boi is a pet fromDead Cells’Bad SeedDLC, and itsTerrariacounterpart will receive a special aesthetic trait in the form of eyes that glow in the dark.
Not only will the core classes each be getting a weapon, but so will the offshoot Sentry class. The Sentry class has long been, more or less, a subclasswithinTerraria’s Summoner class. However, the Old Ones' Army event, which was itself brought in by an indie collaboration, brought the Sentry into its own. TheDead Cellscrossover will bring that game’s Barnacle turret.
It’s possible that more items could come toTerrariaas part of this crossover, especially considering that most of the game’s collaborations include a boss or event. Moreover, it’s unknown as to how these items will be acquired, though players will swiftly find out when 1.4.5 finally arrives.
