    Re-Logic is an American independent game developer and publisher based in Indiana. It was founded by Andrew Spinks in 2011. The company is best known for developing and publishing Terraria, a 2D action-adventure sandbox video game. Re-Logic published Pixel Piracy and Pixel Privateers, both being developed by Quadro Delta.

    History[edit]

    Re-Logic was founded at the beginning of Terraria's development cycle, starting in January 2011, by Andrew Spinks.[4][5] The game was released for Microsoft Windows on 16 May 2011[6] and received multiple updates later on. In February 2012, Re-Logic's developers announced that Terraria would be receiving one final bug-fix patch,[7] but development resumed in 2013.[8] At E3 2019, Re-Logic announced the final update to the game. Update 1.4 Journey's End was released on 16 May 2020. Re-Logic stated that they wanted to work on other projects after this update.

    Terraria has seen multiple console releases, which include the PlayStation 3 on 26 March 2013,[9] Xbox 360 on 27 March 2013,[9] the PlayStation Vita on 11 December 2013,[10] the PlayStation 4 on 11 November 2014,[11] the Xbox One on 14 November 2014,[12] the Nintendo 3DS on 10 December 2015,[13] and the Wii U in June 2016.[14] The game was also released for iOS on 29 August 2013,[15] for Android on 13 September 2013,[16] and for Windows Phone on 12 September 2014.[17]

    The company published Pixel Piracy, a side-scrolling real-time strategy video game, for Windows, macOS, and Linux on 1 December 2013,[18] for the PlayStation 4 on 16 February 2016,[19] and for the Xbox One on 16 February 2016.[20] On 21 February 2017 Re-Logic published Pixel Privateers, a turn-based strategy video game for Windows.[21]

    In February 2015, Re-Logic began development of Terraria: Otherworld, a game set in the same universe as Terraria. The game was announced in a teaser trailer on 16 February 2015,[22] however, on 13 April 2018, the game was cancelled due it being far behind schedule and far from the vision Re-Logic had for it.[23]

    In 2019, in response to the increasing number of games becoming exclusive to the Epic Games Store, Re-Logic's vice president Whitney Spinks asserted that no Re-Logic titles would become Epic Games Store exclusives, adding that the company would never "sell [their] souls" for any amount of money.[24]

    In February 2021, Andrew Spinks had a public falling out with Google over the unexplained suspension of Re-Logic/Spinks's Google account over three weeks prior,[25] losing access to his YouTube channel, Gmail, and Google Drive.[26] He announced that as a result, Terraria would not be coming to Stadia[27] and that Re-Logic will not release any new projects on Google platforms in the future.[28][29] A month later, Re-Logic settled with Google on the suspension of Spinks's Google account and confirmed that Terraria would be heading to Stadia.[30] The game was released on the platform in March 2021.[31]
