Following in the footsteps of Minecraft, the indie PC game Terraria became an overnight sensation selling over a million copies with its blend of side-scroller exploration, building and crafting elements, and challenging difficulty. It seems that Terraria is destined to follow in Minecraft’s footsteps again as developer Re-Logic has decided to bring the game to the PS3 and Xbox 360 with brand new content to boot.

More info after the break.

The creator of Terraria, Andrew Spinks, said in an official press release:

“I can’t say how excited I am to finally have Terraria come to Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 system! 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.”

It isn’t clear yet if the PC version of Terraria will also receive the new content.

Terraria is expecting an early 2013 release on PS3 and 360.
