Deltarune Chapter 3 Is Really Close

The recent Deltarune Newsletter gives us a lot of info about a very close release of Deltarune Chapter 3 and 4.

-

Deltarune Chapter 3 is very close judging by this new Newsletter released by Toby Fox. With Chapter 4 finishing up development in this video I talk about how it could potentially come out this year and more.

The best part of the newsletter was the spamton gif of him getting rotisserie chickened

Toby himself said he's gonna TRY to make the next newsletter in September to "keep us updated". Which means unfortunately, he's basically said he's officially broken his streak of a game every 3 years in the fall.

Everyone after reading the newsletter: We're so close to chapter 3
Meanwhile the newsletter wich is mostly about why chapter 3 is STILL far away

The Elnina thing is the recruit page
likes: Lanino
hates: Being Alone

6:25 I think the ginger guard is still from chapter three, probably an item representing the gingerbread man cutter in the kitchen

I don’t get why a lot of people are saying we’re close to it when the newsletter clearly states that we aren’t. But if you mean really soon as in a couple months then maybe!

CHAPTER 3 AND 4 HYPE IS REAL AGAIN. also interesting that 3 and 4 together are bigger than 1 and 2 combined

[bemmenmemmen]

The GingerGuard is probably related to Toriel's cookie cutters in the house.

[wakkek]

gingerguard is probably an item, not an enemy. the text is the equip dialogue for ralsei and susie. probably in reference to toriels cookie cutters as chapter 3 technically takes place in toriels house (though in a tv dark world..)

I don't know why nobody is talking about the fact that Toby pointed out he'll be giving us another update on September specifically.

If he would be talking about autumn newsletter, it would've probably come out on October or November instead.

September is also when chapter 2 released... Maybe i'm just a bit too desperate to get new chapters at this point, and making stuff up, but what if Toby exaggerated the "long" part a bit to suddenly surprise us on Chapters 2 release anniversary with a sudden "chapters 3&4 are out to buy now!" in the next newsletter?

Edit. Also, i'd be on the lookout for the Chapter 1&2 game testing release. Knowing Toby, he probably snuck some obscure lore secret or two in those versions for us to find.

I was dead set on Oct 31st before this newsletter. Before they outlined the rest of the roadblocks like this, everything we were told (back in MAY mind you) simply said very little was left to be done. And that proved true, because its all but done now game development wise. And this is still 3 full months away from the Oct 31st date. And I always felt their internal goal was Oct 31st based on the reasons Cibles stated.

But I feel like thats going to be a very difficult date to achieve now (though still possible!). Because of one aspect - the simultaneous console release.

All that other stuff can very easily be done in 3 months without question. Especially since outside of the game maker testing for the game switching command, they are pretty much working on most of it already. The biggest issue is, console releases have a LOT of hurdles and delays baked in. And all of those require a finished product be presented first. You can't like, put it up for the release process which could take oh, 2-4 weeks? And then make adjustments and just ask to have them thrown in. Once you submit it I am pretty sure thats it, you let them do their thing and you basically work on marketing and all that outside stuff. You could still work on updates, but they need to be a patch, and said patch has to then go through those checks and crap for a console release. So that would be the biggest roadblock to making a closer release date.

I still think its more likely it releases this year than 2025. Its absurd to me to think that 5 months isn't enough to translate (when Toby said himself thats not a big deal) and bug test. Those are really the only major work left beyond the console release part. But when all that has to be done before whatever delay there is for the console releases to be approved? Ehhh.

The playerbase just feels so "wounded" by it taking this long, they are ultra scared to expect a reasonable release. Like I see some people still thinking this all will take it into 2026. Its absolutely absurd. Already replies here saying there is no way it comes out 2024.

I chose to be optimistic and am fine with being wrong. I was 50/50 on there being a release date in this letter and am perfectly fine with not getting one.

i cant wait to eat all this content up like a little food gremlin when it comes out (3+4)

[FeliXDev]

I am very excited about the "helping Toby test the new function" thing.

[gio-]

bro i dont want to wait 21 years for the 7 chapters...

[killergamer]

i very distinctly remember one time i was trying to edit the legend to make it the spongebob one and that's when i found out they dont reuse sprites between chapters, every chapter 1 sprite just has _ch1 in it

[Spectralanomaly]

The lil image of Susie and Kris eating dark candies like they're actual marshmallows is unbelievably cute 🖤

[FrogKingJacob]

The part that I'm most excited for from this newsletter is the fact that 3 & 4 will be bigger than 1 & 2. This means that we will have over double the amount of Deltarune content than we already have. I think with these 2 chapters, Deltarune will be longer than Undertale.

GIVE ME ANOTHER CHAPTER THIS YEAR AND MY LIFE IS YOURS

[revnl]

I’m personally feeling the Deltarune Chapter 3+4 release is gonna be in the middle of next year. Mostly because it still needs to be rated by ratings boards.

I hope to get back into my deltarune phase for this😭
