Toby Fox has shared an incredibly brief update on the ongoing development of his latest game, Deltarune.
In a social media post, he mentioned that he was working on Chapter 5 “every day” and “planned” that the next game bulletin would be released by “the end of December.”
“I work on Ch5 every day. I planned to have the next newsletter at the end of December”
An update from Fox earlier this year in August mentioned that Chapter 4 is “basically playable minus some tweaking” and at the time also mentioned that initial development of Chapter 5 is “steadily moving forward.”
All focus now seems to be on Chapter 5. Here’s what he had to say about the “release schedule” for Deltarune in the same August update:
“With the progress on Chapter 5, I’m confident that when Chapters 3 and 4 come out, the release schedule for the next chapters will be much easier!! It’s still going to take a long time to get there, but once we do, you’ll never have to wait that long for a chapter again!”
Many fans are now trying to guess when the next Deltarune chapters and newsletter might be released. Here are a handful of thoughts and theories on the subject Deltarune subreddit:
“Honestly, what I see is that if the next newsletter comes out that late, it might honestly just be a release date newsletter.”
“*inhales copium and puts on a tinfoil hat* WELL WELL….. he wrote “He planned to….”, that means things have changed so….. Buckle up everyone, it’s Halloween! * deranged laughter *”
“It’s really sad unfortunately if the December newsletter so yeah no chapter this year hopefully we can at least get chapter 5 and the second one faster as toby promised”
