Redigit has been dropping some spoilers for the next update of Terraria in IRC and on plug.dj.
ESTNN says: "If you're looking to get your fix outside of Mojang's popular sandbox, these games are some of the best the genre has to offer."
Let's take a step back into the good old days when Wi-Fi and data were nothing to worry about and look at the very Best Offline iPhone Games.
Xbox Game Pass Quests recently reset for the month of August. So if you try to collect as many Microsoft Rewards points as possible, there's a new set available now.
This is not what I would call value for money spent. They give you quests in liveservice games to get you "re-engaged" with the monetization schemes or to get you hooked or so you at least spend some extra on skins and loot boxes. Then they dole out paltry points after you have already paid extra for whichever liveservice within a liveservice that you are already paying for. My worry is people can't actually be that stupid to fall for this, can they?
Am I correct in thinking that none of this will hit the console versions? I thought I remembered reading that all the console-exclusive content was to stay on consoles, but this update would similarly not affect other platforms.
Yes, you are correct. Terraria 1.2 is an update that was meant to keep the original (PC) players busy while the Console version is making the game more popular. In other words, they are making 1.2 so the PC players are going to get some content after the long wait, after the Console version added a bunch of content that the original (PC) players did not get. Good day :)
