Terraria was tentatively dated for the end of February but was pushed without much fanfare. 505 Games announced Friday that the port of the indie PC hit finally has a release date for the PS3 and Xbox 360.

Terraria for the consoles is not a straight port of the PC version. Instead, 505 Games added split-screen multiplayer for up to four players, eight player online multiplayer, a tutorial, a world map, new controls, armor, ultimate weapons, music, enemies, pets and a final boss.

For those unfamiliar with the game, Terraria can best be described as a 2D sidescrolling version of Minecraft but with more adventure elements as players go on quests and battle waves of enemies.
