Toby Fox, the mastermind behind the beloved games Undertale and Deltarune, has shared exciting updates about the testing phase for Deltarune's Chapters 3 and 4. Dive into the details about the console testing process and what fans can anticipate from these upcoming chapters.
Deltarune’s Console Testing Going Smoothly
In a recent post on his official Bluesky account, Toby Fox provided an update on the console testing for Deltarune. He noted that while there's still a significant 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 they are diligently working on fixing issues in the new chapters.
Moreover, Fox revealed an exciting feature for console players: the ability to carry over saves from the demo (Chapters 1 and 2) to the full game. This feature, which has only recently become technologically feasible, will allow players to continue their journey seamlessly. "I hope it works!" Fox added optimistically.
With the beta testing showing promising results, fans might not have to wait much longer. Toby Fox has confirmed that Deltarune's Chapters 3 and 4 are set to be released 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 fans through entertaining mini-updates. Known for his witty use of internet memes and self-deprecating humor, Fox recently shared a light-hearted anecdote about a minigame he's been working on for Deltarune. "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, humorously noting that his family found it a good thing, while his friend couldn't stop laughing.
This update has sparked speculation among fans, especially since Fox had previously mentioned that Chapters 3 and 4 were content-complete by 2024. Some believe the minigame might be part of the upcoming Chapter 5, as Deltarune is planned to have seven chapters in total.
In the same post, Fox mentioned a friend's nostalgia for a character named Tenna, whom Fox humorously acknowledged as someone "no one in the world has ever said huh." Tenna, a character yet to appear in the game, was first introduced during the Spamton Sweepstakes campaign on Deltarune's official website in September 2022 for the Child’s Play charity. Fox's mention of Tenna confirms her inclusion in the upcoming Chapter 3, adding another layer of intrigue for fans.
Deltarune serves as a parallel and sequel to the 2015 hit Undertale, maintaining many of the original game'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 series.
