Known for his penchant for secrecy until a project is ready to be launched or relevant information is available, fans eagerly anticipate any news about Toby Fox’s current work, namely Deltarune.

Six years have passed since the debut of Deltarune, leaving its dedicated fanbase eagerly awaiting news about upcoming updates. While the initial two chapters were freely available, creator Toby Fox has revealed that future installments of Deltarune will be paid releases. Regardless of the cost, fans are excited for these forthcoming updates.

Toby Fox recently released the 2024 Undertale/Deltarune Holiday Newsletter, revealing that Chapters 3 and 4 of Deltarune are essentially finalized. The remaining tasks before release include translation and bug-testing phases for these sections. While the content within these parts of the game has been completed, there’s still work to be done. Fox mentioned that a team of experts played through Chapter 3 on PC, appreciating the discovery of hidden details and text variations, which could intrigue fans accustomed to uncovering Deltarune’s many secrets.

Deltarune Gets an Encouraging Update

Toby Fox acknowledges that a few members of the testing team had minor issues with parts of the game where saving was restricted, but he suggests this might have been done intentionally, though changes could still be made. It’s intriguing to think about how Deltarune might experiment with the save mechanism in future updates given its influence on the storyline of Undertale. Similarly, Fox reveals that some testers spotted details they thought were mistakes, such as “pebbaroni” misspelled, but these were deliberate choices. Generally speaking, Chapter 3 is almost ready for release after minor adjustments are made to console versions.

In a recent update, Fox reveals that the initial Japanese translation of Deltarune Chapter 4 has been wrapped up. Once full translation is achieved, the game will be tested on PC platforms first, followed by testing of Chapters 3 and 4 on consoles. Progress on Chapter 5 continues to advance at a steady pace. The main team is currently working on refining Chapters 1, 2, and 3, while newly hired members focus on Chapter 5 development. Fox describes the process as “quite solid,” indicating positive momentum in their progress. Toby Fox also confirms that we can expect Chapters 3 and 4 of Deltarune to release in 2025.
