Toby Fox, the creator of Undertale, has shared a new newsletter update regarding the upcoming Deltarune chapters.
The team is currently concentrating on the Japanese localization of Chapter 3, which will come after porting and bug testing. It will be considered fully finished.
Chapters 4 and 5 are currently shifting the spotlight to Chapter 4, while also making some progress on Chapter 5. It seems the new producer will help the team meet a revised internal deadline for the fourth chapter.
Toby’s complete statement is as follows:
Happy 2024, everyone! The DELTARUNE team (and I) were taking a break for the holidays to visit our families, but now everyone’s back and excited to get back to the game.
Re: Chapter 3, we are working on the Japanese localization. Then we will begin porting and bugtesting the Chapter, after which it will be… totally complete!
As mentioned last time, the team is now mainly focusing on Chapter 4, with some minor work being done on Chapter 5. We’ve set an internal deadline for ourselves regarding Chapter 4 and our new producer is going to help us make the sweet sweet moves we need to make to meet it. I am confident this is going to be a really productive year!!!
As usual, there’s not much I can share without spoiling anything.
For those who haven’t experienced Deltarune yet, Chapters 1 and 2 are available for free on the Switch eShop.
