Summary
Chapters 4 and 5 of the popular retro-style RPGDeltarunewill both be released by the end of 2025, according to newly revealed information from its creator. Fans ofDeltarunehave been waiting more than three years since the release of the second chapter, and Toby Fox has made a commitment to catching them up with two big releases in a single year.
Independent developer Fox had a huge breakthrough in 2015 with his first big release,Undertale, a pixelated RPG filled with humor, lovable villains, bullet hell action, and arewarding ending for not killing anyone. While it hasn’t quite matched its predecessor’s explosive degree of success,Deltarunedebuted its first chapter on Halloween 2018, bearing a lot of similarities toUndertale.Both it and the second chapter, which was released nearly three years later, have been generally well-received by the public, but fans have been left waiting since September 2021 for more content.
Deltarune Chapters 3 and 4 are Coming in 2025
Fox followed up with aDeltaruneprogress updatein mid-September, once again stating that general development of chapters 3 and 4 was basically complete, with testing and Japanese localization seeming to be their main holdups. While his developer updates have mainly focused on the technical side of progress rather than dropping teasers and reveals, he also announced in September that upcoming chapters would include some cut content fromDeltaruneChapter 2, including some previously unused music tracks and boss designs.
While only two chapters are available now, Fox is alreadyworking daily onDeltraruneChapter 5. With seven chapters planned in total, that means the 2025 releases are still only the middle part of the story, so fans should have a lot more heartwarming humor in theUndertale-parallel story in years to come.
