Deltarune Chapters 3 and 4 Launch on Nintendo Switch as Creator Toby Fox Discusses Cut Content

Today marks a major milestone for fans of Toby Fox’s acclaimed indie RPG as Deltarune Chapters 3 and 4 officially launch on the Nintendo Switch, with support for the upcoming Switch 2 arriving tomorrow.

To celebrate this highly anticipated release, Nintendo published a new interview with Deltarune creator Toby Fox, offering a behind-the-scenes look into the development of the latest chapters—including some frank revelations about content that didn’t make the final cut. Since its initial release, Deltarune has garnered a passionate following for its innovative blend of turn-based combat, quirky writing, and compelling world-building.

Developed by creator Toby Fox, who first rose to prominence with his award-winning title Undertale in 2015, the series continues to capture the attention of both indie enthusiasts and mainstream players alike.

The arrival of Deltarune Chapters 3 and 4 on Nintendo Switch underscores the game’s significant popularity on the platform, and positions the franchise for continued growth with full compatibility for Nintendo’s new Switch 2 system. In the recent Nintendo-published interview, Fox shed light on the realities of game development and the difficult decisions developers face to ensure a polished final product.

Reflecting on Chapter 3’s evolution, Fox disclosed that an entire segment of content—described as "interesting"—was ultimately removed.

He explained in clear terms that the chapter was "originally longer than the final version, but we cut an entire segment." Fox noted that while the omitted section offered compelling material, its inclusion would have made the chapter excessively lengthy, potentially disrupting the overall narrative flow and pacing of Deltarune as a whole.

Citing the importance of maintaining balance, Fox emphasized, “If each chapter is too long, it will affect the pacing of Deltarune as a whole, so it’s very important to pay attention to this point.” The interview also featured a glimpse at new concept art from the development of Chapters 3 and 4, giving fans and industry observers insight into the creative process that underpins Deltarune’s unique identity.

These visuals complement the updated gameplay experience now available on the Switch eShop. Deltarune’s continued partnership with Nintendo further highlights the company’s commitment to supporting independent developers and innovative titles on its platforms.

Players can now purchase Deltarune for Nintendo Switch, with a cross-buy feature ensuring seamless access for owners upgrading to the Switch 2.

This user-friendly approach is sure to please existing fans and new players alike. As Deltarune expands its footprint across Nintendo’s ecosystem, Toby Fox’s thoughtful approach to storytelling and game design continues to drive both interest and respect within the gaming community.
