Terraria update teased with pictures of a new biome - and a penguin

Re-Logic continue to tease the surprise Terraria update announced earlier in the year. In a forum post , designer and artist "Jimmarn" provides screenshots of a new ice biome.

Previously Re-Logic head Andrew "Redigit" Spinks posted the below images, showing floating islands and jungle waterfalls:
