Undertale creator Toby Fox has shared a development update on his current project Deltarune. If you have been wondering where the next chapter is, it seems there won't be any new chapters released this year.
Toby shared this news via his Twitter account:
"We won't be able to put out any new chapters of DELTARUNE this year... But as usual, we have a little something specil planned for the anniversary of UT/DR Ch2... See you next week!"
As noted, there'll instead be something special planned for both Undertale and Deltarune next week.
This follows on from a Deltarune update earlier this year in May, when Toby Fox announced development was "going well". There are reportedly up to seven chapters planned for Deltarune.
The latest development update may not necessarily be a big surprise, considering Toby previously mentioned how the aim was to deliver Chapters 3, 4 and 5 at the same time. At this point though, players will be required to purchase the entire game.
Deltarune Chapter 1 was released on Switch eShop in February 2019, and the second chapter followed in September 2021. How do you feel about this update? Have you played the first two Deltarune chapters yet? How about Undertale? Leave a comment below.

Please, take your time, I’m more then happy to wait. Can’t wait for next week!
props for being so direct as to say its not coming this year. bigger props to still keep fans entertained with anniversary plans
Well, if they are serious about releasing three chapters at once, I’m not surprised they won’t be able to get them out this year… I know chapter 2 took longer than planned due to injury and pandemics, but still, they a small team, and Toby has been known to work on other stuff at the same time, so getting the next batch in a year would have been extremely unlikely
He can take all the time he needs if it means the series turns out as good as Undertale. I've had Undertale for a few months now and I've already played thru 3 times, I need to get around to deltarune haha
It's hard to complain, considering he's been honest with updates and has already delivered a lot of content for free. Oh yeah, and he's also becoming a preferred composer for Game Freak. Fox works his tail off, and I'm confident the final version of Deltarune will be worth the wait.
@JJtheTexan I wouldn't be surprised if there was a content update for chapter 2, but not a new chapter. It would give us a bit of new content to tide us over without delaying the future chapters by any sizable margin.
Deltarune chapters 1 and 2 were excellent, so the next chapters should be well worth the wait. And since 1 & 2 were free, I'm more than happy to throw some money his way once the entire game becomes available to buy.
I actually played through part of chapter 1, and I was really enjoying it....but I decided that I'd rather wait until the whole thing is ready. So yeah, when he finishes it, I'll just buy the whole thing outright. I can wait.
I think this whole chapters thing was a terrible idea. I played chapter 1 when it released, really got into it, then it ended. That was 3 years ago now and I don't remember anything other than broad strokes. When chapter 2 dropped I knew that it would be pointless to play. I'd have had to replay the whole chapter 1 again to get back into it; then wait a few years for chapter 3 at which point I'd need to replay #1 & #2 again. Who out there actually enjoys a delivery setup like this?
Edit: I guess even Toby Fox realises it if he is planning to release the rest all at once. Kudos to him.
I'm so geeked to see what TF has planned. Undertale is my absolute favorite game of all time, and Deltarune is a close second so he can take all the time he needs to get things done for DR.❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
It's strange that they can't finish such a simple pixel game in GameMaker after so many years.
Not interested in playing this in an episodic format. I'drather wait till the full game is done so I can buy it as a complete release, hopefully on physical media too like I did for Undertale on Switch.
@RudyC3
Same. Hopefully, a physical will come out at some point, I can play through it three or four times, and let it sit next to Undertale looking all pristine and beautiful.
