Playing Terraria usually means accepting the rules of its pixel world — killing bad guys makes you entitled to swollen bags of treasure, some fish live in honey, and, before you catch them, all fish are cryptically invisible. The 12-year-old action-adventure sandbox game has mostly held on tight to these basic rules, but this week things changed. This week, its developer Re-Logic announced one major change in a forum thread: Terraria will soon have visible fish as part of its 1.4.5 update, to be released in 2024.
“We are not sure how the fish in Terraria stayed invisible all this time,” Re-Logic developer Loki wrote in the thread, “but now you can see what you might be reeling in while fishing!” A brief, looping GIF demonstrates what this looks like in action.
