Everything we know about Deltarune, Toby Fox’s sequel to Undertale
The release schedule behind us Deltarunethe next big RPG created by Sublanguage developer Toby Fox, is a bit confusing. In the fall of 2018, Fox and his team released the first part of the game for free. About three years later, he surprise released Chapter 2 of the game and said that his team would release more of the game in the future. However, delivering on that initial promise has been slow, with many fans wondering when new content will be available.
This is all further complicated by the fact that Toby Fox is somehow both incredibly open as a developer and somewhat elusive. Every now and then he will post an in-depth update on the game’s progress and delve into the intricacies of shipping a game. But after a newsletter comes out, he can disappear for weeks or even months at a time, leaving fans guessing as to the status of his next game. To make things easier, here’s everything you need to know Deltarune.
When will Deltarune Chapter 3, Chapter 4 and Chapter 5 be released?
Instead of releasing an entire game at once, Fox released chapters one and two Deltraune free in the fall of 2021. Not long after, Fox said the team would release the next part of the game – Chapters 3, Chapter 4 and Chapter 5 – in one bundle and charge for the game. (At the time, he didn’t say how much the game would cost.)
We don’t know when Toby Fox and his growing team of developers will release the next volume of chapters. However, since the game’s initial release, we’ve gotten several updates that could tell us how far along the next parts of the game are in development.
Fox shared the autumn of 2023 that he no longer intended to release Chapter 3, Chapter 4, and Chapter 5 all at once. Instead, the team would only release Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 together. “The finish line of Chapter 5 is still quite far away… and I don’t think anyone really wants to wait that long to release anything. Especially me,” he said. However, about a year passed and Fox still had not released the third and fourth chapters of the game.
Development continued to experience problems and delayed the release of new content. According to Fox, releasing a game in chapter episodes complicated the entire development process. The makers of Delatune‘s game engine, GameMaker Studio 2, had to add a new feature to the engine so that the Deltarune team could continue to release the game in installments. Fox cited that, in addition to the extra work required to properly localize and debug the game, as part of the problems extending the timeline for development.
