Over the course of a handful of years, developer & composer Toby Fox has continued to work on the progress of his newest anthology of chapters for Deltarune. In 2018, the first chapter for the new series arrived. In an update that year, Toby Fox goes on to note that the project is far from being completed. He emphasizes on the scale this new title will take and could be years from meeting its end.
Evidently, that has been the case now five years later and fans only got to play up to Chapter 2 so far. The latest entry arrived back in August 2021 for PC followed by Nintendo Switch & PlayStation 4 not too long after. Noted, installments moving forward is possibly up for purchase as the first two installments were free downloads.
In the latest Deltarune Newsletter update from Toby Fox, new information has been revealed for the game. Part of that is work has already commenced on the next chapter(s) for the game. “As was the case last time, we’re focusing on Chapter 3. However, there are a few people working on pieces of later chapters, such as bullet patterns or puzzles.
“As for Chapter 3, we’re finally creating the final overworld area. You could think of it like the ‘Queen’s Castle’ or ‘Card Castle’, but for this chapter. With this complete, the chapter will finally be playable all the way through…! (Fun Fact: I composed the song for this area in 2016…)This Chapter is made of many different pieces… so it’s been hard to understand exactly how everything was turning out.
“Now that things are clearer, I just need to roll over the entire game with a steamroller and crush out all the bumps. There may be things to add, things to fix, or things to remove… but, many pieces have been quite polished already, so it won’t be too bad. As you can tell, this chapter is shaping up to be a pretty strange one. I mostly focused on unusual gameplay elements, and it’s not too heavy on the story. Since it’s so frivolous, I feel a bit self-conscious about it… but, at least I got to try something different!”
