UndertaleandDeltarunedeveloper Toby Fox has given fans an unfortunate update on how work on the latter title is going, stating that there won’t be any new chapters releasing this year.Deltarunereleased its first chapter back in 2018, three years after the explosive success ofUndertale. Three years later,DeltaruneChapter 2 launchedfor free following a Nintendo Direct presentation back in 2021. While there was a three-year gap between the release of chapter 1 and 2, some fans had been hoping that a new lot of content could be coming in 2022.
The speculation aroundDeltaruneChapter 3 has been rife on the internet, with Toby Fox giving somewhat consistent updates on the game. However, in his latest Twitter post, he confirmed that there would be no new chapters for this year. Fox didn’t give a date on when fans could get a release date forDeltaruneChapter 3, but if the launch is anything like the previous chapters, it will likely come as somewhat of a surprise.

Something that Fox did comment on was that fans could expect “something special” for the anniversary ofUndertaleandDeltarune’ssecond chapter. What this could be is unknown, but with Fox’s final sentence saying he’ll see fans next week, it seems they’ll be getting more information then. With Fox marking the “something special” as a celebration of bothUndertaleandDeltarune, it seems he is reinforcing the idea that the two are connected in more ways than just their aesthetic.
While fans have been assured from his development updates that Toby Fox is hard at work onDeltarune’slatest chapter, he has also been assisting the development of other IPs. Most recently, Toby Fox revealed that hecomposed music forPokemon ScarletandViolet. While this was confirmed back in June, Fox revealed in August what tracks he’d actually composed, and they were the music that players will hear when involved in raid battles.
Considering that Toby Fox aims to give fansDeltaruneChapters 3, 4, and 5 all at the same time, it isn’t exactly surprising that he has stated there won’t be any new content added to the game for the rest of 2022. For now, it seems that fans will have to be content with playing through the game’s first couple of chapters in the hopes that, with anew Nintendo Directin 2023, some moreDeltarunecontent might drop.
Deltaruneis out now for PC, PS4, and Switch.
