505 Games has revealed that Terraria is coming to PlayStation Vita.

Console players are about to get their first taste, as publisher 505 and Dutch developer Engine Software bring Re-Logic’s hit to Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network at the end of February, complete with much-needed tutorials and gamepad-friendly controls.
