According to a website post from developer Re-Logic, sandbox action adventure game Terraria will be coming to Mac and Linux systems.
There’s also a brief FAQ section regarding the new versions, which reveals that owners of a Windows copy can transfer their characters and worlds across to those platforms.
”In full transparency,” Re-Logic writes, ”both of these versions are very much in development, so we cannot make any promises as to a launch date - or even if they will ultimately be feasible - but we wanted to make sure that our long-suffering Mac/Linux fans know that we are working diligently to bring Terraria to their platform!”
There’s some more good news if you already own a copy of Terraria on Steam; the developers intend to provide the Mac/Linux versions free of charge to any existing owners. Re-Logic says ”the logistics and/or if this is possible will play out as we get closer to launch”.
Terraria’s been around since 2011, and has already made the transition to Android, iOS and consoles. It’s been a long wait for Mac and Linux fans, but it might not last much longer.
