Toby Fox, acclaimed creator of Undertale and Deltarune, has ushered in 2025 by providing eager fans with highly anticipated news about the upcoming chapters of Deltarune.
Taking to social media, Fox extended New Year's greetings and humorously reinforced his ongoing message: Deltarune Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 are both scheduled to launch in 2025.
This announcement comes as a welcome update for Nintendo Switch enthusiasts and RPG fans eagerly awaiting the next installments of Fox’s celebrated series.
Deltarune, a spiritual successor to the award-winning Undertale, has garnered critical acclaim for its inventive storytelling, memorable characters, and unique combat mechanics.
Since the launch of the first two chapters on the Nintendo Switch eShop, the game has maintained a strong presence in the indie RPG landscape.
The first two chapters are available as a free download, enabling a broad player base to experience Fox’s distinct creative vision.
In December 2024, Toby Fox issued an end-of-year newsletter highlighting key developments in Deltarune’s ongoing production.
He confirmed that Chapter 3 had been thoroughly playtested by a professional quality assurance team and was now feeling "very stable." Fox also noted that Chapter 4 has entered its inaugural translation stage, an essential step for ensuring the game’s global accessibility upon launch.
As for Chapter 5, Fox explained that recent team hires are supporting steady progress, further broadening the developer’s resources and accelerating production.
Summarizing the current status, Fox stated, "Chapter 3 has been tested thoroughly and is in solid shape, while translation work for Chapter 4 is underway and our expanded team is making consistent advances on Chapter 5." This latest communication underscores the methodical approach Fox and his team are taking, ensuring each chapter meets the high standards set by previous releases.
Since its debut, Deltarune has achieved notable milestones, with Chapters 1 and 2 collectively reaching over a million downloads on the Nintendo Switch eShop—a testament to the game's widespread appeal and the robust support from the Nintendo player community.
Fox’s hands-on approach and open lines of communication via newsletters and social media have helped foster a dedicated global fanbase eagerly tracking each development update.
As the release window for Deltarune Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 draws closer, interest continues to surge within both the indie game scene and the wider gaming community.
Nintendo Switch players and RPG fans alike can look forward to experiencing Fox’s latest creative efforts firsthand when both new chapters arrive later this year.
Until then, those new to the series are encouraged to download and enjoy the first two chapters for free on the Nintendo Switch eShop.
