Toby Fox is one of the most important figures in the indie game scene. After the success of Undertale the creator has once again delighted the fans by presenting the first chapter of Deltarune. This took place exactly 5 years ago. Today we know what we can expect from the developer in the near future.

Work on Deltarune continues

On this occasion, the official newsletter of Deltarune published a large entry discussing the future of the title and serving additional trivia. First of all, we received confirmation that the third chapter of the game has already been completed, and work on the fourth chapter is now the main focus.

According to Tobi's original idea, chapters 3, 4 and 5 were to debut simultaneously, but the developer had to change plans:

"My original plan was to release Chapters 3, 4 and 5 at the same time, but there is still a long way to go before Chapter 5 is completed... And I don't think anyone wants to wait that long to publish anything. Especially me.

So here's a new strategy: no more waiting for Chapter 5. Instead, we'll focus on introducing Deltarune to sale after the completion of Chapter 4. This seems to be more reasonable!

Chapter 4 already contains a sizable number of finished movie cutscenes and enemy models. I have also hired a new producer, whose main task will be to speed up the overall development of the game in future chapters. Therefore, I am very optimistic about the next stages of this project."

Toby also admitted that further detailed work progress reports on Deltarune may appear less frequently.

Additional information for fans

Not forgetting today's anniversary of the release of the first chapter of Deltarune, the developers have prepared an additional gift for us.

It is a bonus interview with the team responsible for the second chapter of the game, where we find details and opinions about the experience, a handful of previously unknown tidbits and additional artworks.

That's not all, however, as the creator of Undertale is able to make even a short ad into a work of art.

In his indispensable passion for narrative, Toby has wrapped his entire latest entry in a short story, of which we, as readers, become a part. All of the information provided above on the website is presented as the contents of a letter delivered to us by a charming ghost (which fans will most likely quickly unmask).

Therefore, if you are a fan of this universe, it is worth exploring the newsletter on your own. If you have not yet had the opportunity to get acquainted with Deltarune, remember that the first and second chapters are available for free on Steam, Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4.
