You can’t keep a good game down, it seems. Despite the past few days having generated drama aplenty for the upcoming sandbox platform/action/RPG hybrid Terraria (including word of a source-code leak, yikes!), the game keeps on trucking. Word has just come out via the developers official Twitter feed that the highly anticipated game is due out as early as next Monday on Steam. Launch price will apparently be discounted to $10, and will increase some time after that.

The final release version should have quite a few changes over the original press alpha build, including a whole new set of player sprites, replacing the Final Fantasy-sourced placeholders shown in early trailers (such as the one above), and new regions to explore, such as skyborne floating islands. Details are pretty thin on the ground as no official press release has been issued as of yet, so stay tuned for further news.
