International publisher of video games, 505 Games, has today announced it will be bringing the independent block-building blockbuster Terraria to Xbox LIVE Arcade for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and PlayStation Network.

It has received universal acclaim from media and fans alike ? 1.6 million ?Terrarians? have struck out on their own adventures since release.

Andrew Spinks, creator of Terraria added “I can?t say how excited I am to finally have Terraria come to Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3! To see it come so far is a complete shock, especially after such humble beginnings. It?s always been my dream to have as many people as possible know and enjoy Terraria as much as I have, and this is another big step in that direction! It?s been awesome working with 505 Games, and I can?t wait for everyone to see the additional features that they?ve been able to bring to this new edition of the game.”
