Get ready, Deltarune fans! Toby Fox has announced that the highly anticipated paid release of Chapters 3 and 4 will coincide with the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2 in Japan. This means a simultaneous release for fans across multiple platforms, though the exact timing might be slightly tricky to navigate.
The first two chapters of Deltarune, the beloved Undertale spinoff, were free to play. However, this new release, priced at $24.99, will include Chapters 3 and 4, offering a substantial amount of new content for players to enjoy. For those on PS4, PS5, Steam, and the original Nintendo Switch, the launch date is June 5th at 12 AM Japan time, which translates to June 4th at 11 AM ET / 8 AM PT for US players.
There’s a slight twist for Nintendo Switch 2 owners. The game will launch at midnight local time in most regions on June 5th. This gives players in New Zealand and Australia a tiny head start, a fact that Toby Fox humorously acknowledges in his newsletter, playfully requesting they keep the early release under wraps. Future updates to Deltarune will be free, ensuring players continue to receive new content after purchasing the main chapters.
The Switch 2 version will boast a special room designed to utilize the console’s new mouse controls, adding another layer of unique gameplay to the experience. This strategic pairing of the game’s launch and the new console’s release is a smart move to capitalize on the excitement surrounding both events. Are you ready to dive back into the world of Deltarune?
