If it’s felt like roughly 3-1/2 years since the last installment of Toby Fox’s Deltarune, the wildly popular follow-up to his wildly popular debut game Undertale, that’s because you have a very good sense of time, congratulations. But after what has been an interminable wait — just scan the official subreddit if you don’t believe me — the next installment, comprised of Chapters 3 and 4, will make its debut alongside the Nintendo Switch 2 on June 5, 2025.
The first chapter of Deltarune debuted in October 2018 as a free download, with the second chapter coming in September 2021, also for free. Fox has said subsequent chapters would not be free, and he’d release more at once … the question then, has been, when? The Deltarune fan community has met this wait with in-jokes, poring over every missive from Fox to glean clues for a release date, often settling on “tomorrow” as the obvious answer. While not quite “tomorrow,” June 5 feels like an acceptable compromise.
“Deltarune Chapters 1-4 will be released on June 5th as a launch title for Nintendo Switch 2,” Fox posted on Bluesky. “It’s also coming to Steam, Switch, PS4 and PS5 the same day!” This of course leaves off any Xbox platforms which, considering the first two chapters never made an appearance there, stands to reason. Steam users can add the game to their wishlist now, if that’s your kind of thing.
We still don’t have a price, or any clues for when the remaining three planned chapters will be released, but also … let’s not be greedy, a release date is enough to chew on for now. For everything else announced at today’s Nintendo Switch 2 event, see here.
