The 2D action-adventure sandbox gameTerrariawas initially released for Windows PC in 2011, though its developer soon ported it to every other major platform. After ten years, one might expect that developer to have already expanded it as much as possible. However,Terrariastill has some key room to grow.
The recent addition of the “Deerclops”demonstrates that developers arent finished adding new content forTerraria. It also leaves only two biomes without bosses of their own, causing fans to wonder what developers might add to fill those vacant slots.

Recently,Terraria began its crossover event with fellow 2D survival game Don’t Starve Together. Part of that crossover is the addition of the Deerclops to the former game’s snow biome. As Reddit user Mister_crabs pointed out, that only leaves the Desert and Space biomes lacking an associated boss enemy. This led to speculation about what the next new boss might be, assuming that developer Re-Logic plans to keep adding to the game.
The most upvoted suggestion was a boss version ofTerraria’sAntlion enemy. These insectoid creatures are common in the game’s desert environments, making it a plausible guess. An Antlion boss would also fit with the ongoingDon’t Starve Togethercrossover, as a similar enemy appears in that game. That suggestion also led to several comments half-jokingly referencing the similarly-named creatures from Valve’sHalf-Life 2. It’s worth noting thatTerraria already has Portal’s Companion Cube, so it is not as unlikely an addition as it sounds.
Other commenters suggested aDune-inspired giant worm or a boss inspired by the bug-like demon Duriel fromDiablo 2. Another commenter suggested a giant sphynx with a sandstorm attack. As for the Space Biome, one comment suggested resurrectingTerraria’scut Falling Planet boss, while the idea of an alien mothership also gained some traction. Other space suggestions include a giant bird or a boss version ofTerraria’sspaceborne Wyvern enemies.
Of course, it’s an open question if the game is even getting any new bosses.Terraria’s final major updatewas supposed to be the aptly namedJourney’s End, released in May 2020. However, theDon’t Starvecrossover shows that Re-Logic is by no means done withTerraria.
So, while the developer has not announced any new bosses, it’s not impossible thatTerrariafans might be getting more new content soon. It may even be likely, assuming that the studio is open to morecrossovers betweenTerrariaand other games. But, for now, fans will have to make do with the years of content updates already included.
Terrariais available now on Android, iOS, PC, PS3, PS4, PS5, PS Vita, Nintendo DS, Nintendo Switch, Wii U, Stadia, Xbox 360, and Xbox One.
