Toby Fox - best-known as the creator of the cult-hit Undertale and the guy who composed music for Pokémon Sword and Shield - has shared a very brief Deltarune Chapter 2 progress update.
In a follow-up tweet to his original post featuring a picture of a giant sprite-based toilet by @tuyoki, he mentioned how the second chapter was "going well" and felt rather good about it all.
"By the way, the Chapter 2's development is going well! Not sure what else to say, but I feel positive about it."
Although there's no release date for the game's additional chapters just yet, it's at least nice to know everything is going smoothly.
Deltarune Chapter 1 was originally released on the Switch eShop last February as a free download - so give it a go if you haven't already. You can also read our review, where we awarded this first chapter seven out of ten stars.
Are you excited to experience the rest of Deltarune? Did you play the original chapter? Leave a comment down below.

Fair enough. Just leave him to it, he’ll finish it eventually. I think we’ve all learned that games that aren’t rushed tend to come out better.
Can't wait for this, and the fact he got music is pokemon S is amazing I love undertale and the characters and music and its worth alot more then the asking price.
I want to be undertale
@nessisonett Unless your name starts with D and ends with uke Nukem Forever
@TheFrenchiestFry To be fair, the rebooted project was only announced the September before it released. It wasn’t one long development cycle.
I think these should have all been released in one package. Making chapters release more than a year a part is just a bad business practice that doesn’t keep your audience engaged. These chapters should have been released only a couple months a part to keep interest!
@gloom The thing is, he's doing that. He effectively said on twitter that he was planning to release all of the other chapters together in one complete game once they're all done. So judging by that, we're far off from the actual release of the game. Chapter 1 was basically like a demo I'm pretty sure, with the rest of the chapters being a full game that people will have to end up paying for.
am I the only person in here who has never played Undertale?
@VoidofLight @gloom Plus the Ruins was released a good couple of years before Undertale’s full game too.
@TheFrenchiestFry
Or something shameless beginning with M and ends with ighty No. 9 and more recently beginning with C and ends with yberpunk 2077...
Whatever Deltarune ends up becoming, I'm sure it'll be a fine, forgettable time at worst and a memorable, emotionally charged journey at best...so just more of Undertale, haha. Not a bad thing by any means, and I'm sure Toby and co. will surpass expectations
I was literally just thinking about Deltarune today, I was wondering if the sequels would ever be released... here we go, SOME kind of news!
@idork99 I've never played either
really looking forward to the chapters, it must be hard trying to top a national phenomenon like UT. but if chap 1 is anything to go by, its a more polished up game with improved graphics, gameplay, and still keeping the charm and humor of UT. i really enjoyed it, and theres already a strong community around the demo too
@gloom I think he somewhat messed up the development.
He said he tried to switch engines away from Gamemaker 2, failed and swapped back to GM2 and had made no progress between chapter 1 and May 2020. Didn't manage to get a team together, and had damaged his wrist playing piano.
So like there's been maybe 7 months of development in the last 2.5 years.
I suspect despite his original plan he might release them chapter by chapter.
Reeeaaallly old news there bud
@gloom You don;t have to buy it sepritly you can wait and buy it altogether.
I wonder if He knows what’s going on with bayonetta 3 as well xxx
Chapter 1 was great. I don't care how long it takes, if it can surpass Undertale in quality, it'll be well worth the wait.
I am one of the biggest undertale fans there is. I just love the story, the music, the characters etc. Even though I never loved deltarune as much, I am really looking forward to the release of chapter 2!
Meanwhile, Freedom Planet 2 is still vaporware.
@BloodyMurder what does vapourware mean?
I wonder what’s taking them so long...
You think with his recent fame and success, he be able to get some people to help...
As far as I know it’s mostly just him, but I could easily be wrong. I dunno for sure.
He’s a talented fox, regardless.
Giant toilet. Game of the year.
@Jakiboy Ok it's not that I don't condemn the way CDPR handled everything but CP honestly wasn't bad
It's not the goddamn transcendant experience of the millenium that people hyped it up to be but honestly bugs not withstanding it's pretty solid
@Alpha008 Vapourwear is software or games that are announced but then you never hear of again beyond the initial announcement.
@idork99 Nope, I have never played it either!
I love toby fox. The disastrous cyberpunk launch is why you should give very careful consideration to announcing a release date before fully grasping the scope of the project. It will be ready when it's ready.
@idork99 🤚🏾 I’ve recently watched videos talking about the fandom. Didn’t know there was one, until YouTube recommended the videos. I remember reading the review thinking it was interesting and moving on. Now I want to play it.
@Alpha008 there's no "U" in vapor
@Snatcher the fact that the Pokemon music was a remix of a song he made as a joke about male pregnancy makes it even greater. Dude got the chance to put a song in a Pokemon game, and he put one he made as a meme in... and its REALLY GOOD
@Gamerdudesteel Different spelling, but vapourware is still correct. It’s the British English version.
I played the first chapter the day after it's release, I am still waiting this to launch
@BloodyMurder
Is it sad that I check their Discord every day in hopes that somehow today is the day they announce a launch window for Freedom Planet 2?
@gsilver
The original launch was supposed to be in 2019 though they do their best to lie about it now. Embarrassment I guess.

You can also check it on the wayback machine. I don't know what happened but I don't expect to see a release of the game, ever.
@BloodyMurder Oh yea I forgot that game was in the works their steam forum is a mess tough dont say anything negative and they ban you I dread what their discord or forum is like.
Didn’t he also say a while back that he’s not releasing it chapter by chapter anymore? He’ll release the full game when done...
Everyone is hyping up the PS5, but the PS14 is where it's really at!
@idork99 yes
Good it bloody well deserves it
