Toby Fox, the mastermind behind both Undertale and Deltarune, recently shared an exciting update on the testing phase for Chapters 3 and 4 of his eagerly anticipated game, Deltarune. Dive into the latest details about console testing and what fans can look forward to.
Deltarune's Console Testing Going Smoothly
In a recent post on his official Bluesky account, Toby Fox provided fans with an update on the ongoing console testing for Deltarune. He noted that while there's still a substantial amount of work to be done, the process is progressing smoothly. "Still console testing. There are fewer bugs, but there's a lot to go through. (Haven't even tested PS5 yet)," Fox shared, indicating that the team is diligently working on refining the game. Additionally, he mentioned that they are developing a feature to allow players to transfer their saves from the demo (Chapters 1 and 2) to the full game on console versions. This feature, which they've only recently been able to implement, promises to enhance the gaming experience by allowing continuity from the demo to the main game. "I hope it works!" Fox optimistically added.
With the beta testing showing promising results, the release of Deltarune's Chapters 3 and 4 could be imminent. Toby Fox has confirmed that these chapters are slated for release sometime in 2025.
Fox Namedrops New Character, Tenna
Despite the heavy workload involved in preparing Chapters 3 and 4 for release, Toby Fox continues to engage with his fanbase through entertaining mini-updates. Known for his clever use of internet memes and his humorous, self-deprecating style, Fox recently shared a light-hearted anecdote on social media. "I showed my family and friends a minigame I've been working on for DR (Deltarune) and they all described it as ‘a cry for help because your game is not out’," he posted, adding that his family found it amusing, while a friend couldn't stop laughing for about 10 minutes.
This update sparked speculation among fans, especially since Fox had previously stated in 2024 that the content for Chapters 3 and 4 was complete. Some believe the mentioned minigame might be part of the upcoming Chapter 5, as Deltarune is planned to have a total of seven chapters.
In the same post, Fox also mentioned a character named Tenna, who has yet to appear in the game but was first introduced during the Spamton Sweepstakes campaign on the Deltarune official website in September 2022 for the Child’s Play charity. Fox's mention of Tenna confirms that this mysterious character will indeed feature in Chapter 3, adding to the anticipation surrounding the new release.
Deltarune serves as a parallel and successor to the beloved 2015 game, Undertale. It retains many of the original's mechanics and quirks while introducing a fresh narrative and new characters. Players will join Kris, Susie, and Ralsei on an epic quest to save the world, making Deltarune a must-play for fans of the genre.
