The first four installments of Deltarune are nearly here! But let me tell you, Toby Fox and his team still have more chapters in store for us. Of course, the fifth chapter is up next, but details about it remain scarce. One thing we can count on though, its arrival won’t be happening anytime soon.
Deltarune timeline
- As we know from the interview for Nintendo, the idea of Deltarune was born in 2012. The game was quickly abandoned for Undertale. However, Deltarune is a mix of both games.
- Chapter 1 was released and announced in October 2018 on PC. Switch and PlayStation fans had to wait until February 2019.
- In the case of Chapter 2, the time gap between releases on different platforms was a lot shorter and all players could enjoy it in 2021.
- Following the release of Chapter 2, the Status Update was posted. We can learn from it that Chapters 3, 4 and 5 will be released at the same time.
- In September 2022 Toby Fox informed that the team has been expanded and developers worked simultaneously on chapters 3, 4 and 5, but the first two were on more advanced stage of production.
- In Autumn 2023, it was announced that Chapter 3 is playable from the beginning to the end.
- Halloween update, released in 2023, was rich in information. We learned that Chapter 3 is content complete, and more and more team members are switching to Chapter 4. However, the most important information was that chapter 5 was “pretty far of” and will not be part of the initial paid release, as it would take a long time to wait for it. Moreover, a new producer had been hired with the task of speeding up the release process. Moreover, the premiere of chapters 3 and 4 got a year – 2025.
- A few months later, in Winter 2024, we learned that the team is focusing on Chapter 4 with some “minor” work on Chapter 5.
- In Summer 2024 we have learned that the initial development on Chapter 5 is progressing, but the team is still focusing on Chapter 4.
- It was not until Holiday 2024, when Toby Fox announced that Chapters 3 and 4 are “basically completed”. Moreover, while most of the team was polishing the completed part of the game, new people were working on Chapter 5.
- Since then, of course, we had information on the release date and time of Chapter 1-4. However, there was no update on Chapter 5.
You will have to wait for Chapter 5 release a little bit longer
From the timeline provided, it’s clear that there isn’t much information about when Chapter 5 will be released. To put it simply, we can expect that it won’t come out this year (since it would be part of the paid version), and likely not at the start of the next year either. Historically, each chapter has taken around approximately 2 years to finish. With a new producer and additional team members, we can infer that the production process might accelerate. However, the speed depends on the complexity of the project.
As per the updates shared, work on Chapter 5 is already underway and progressing positively, though it’s not very far along yet. So, don’t get your hopes too high! The positive aspect is that all supported platforms should receive it simultaneously.
