Ready to return to the Dark Worlds? According to a press release,Deltarune Chapter 3is close to completion and a change in release is incoming.Deltarunewill go on sale once its fourth chapter is finished, rather than waiting for the fifth.
Earlier today, Toby Fox celebrated the fifth anniversary ofDeltarune‘s original release. He also provided an update on the highly anticipated third chapter ofDeltarune. The newest chapter is playable from start to finish, but not ready to be released. “Obviously, releasing a game takes many more steps than just finishing the gameplay and graphics,” states Fox.
However, he mentions that work has started on the fourth chapter, which his team is very excited to continue. “When we startedChapter 3, to be honest, it took a lot of trial and error to figure out how it would work,” says Fox. “But, withChapter 4, I already feel very confident about how we can progress.”
Shifting release plans
Originally,Deltarune, a spiritual successor to Fox’sUndertale, was going to get a full release afterChapter 5. Now, the game will be available to purchase afterChapter 4‘s release. Speaking on the subject, Fox brings up “My original plan was to releaseChapter 3, 4, and 5together. However, the finish line ofChapter 5is still pretty far off… and I don’t think anybody really wants to wait that long to release anything. Especially me.”
In anticipation ofChapter 4, the Deltarune team has added a new producer to help speed up the process. AsChapter 2released in 2021, the news of quicker releases for future chapters will make many hearts skip a beat. Speaking ofChapter 2, Fox shared aninterview with the teamthat talks about the process of creating the game.
No release date or price was given for the full game, though the originalUndertale(PC, Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch) was $14.99.Deltarune Chapters 1 and 2are available for free on PC, PS4, andNintendo Switch.
