Toby Fox has announced that most of the development team for Deltarune has made progress on the production of Chapter 5, suggesting that its release could be closer than previously thought. In a recent statement, Fox revealed that formal testing of the game will begin on April 1, and that the professional testing team is already getting familiar with the title. Additionally, the quality assurance for the Japanese translation is expected to be completed in April.
Deltarune continues to dominate
However, the development team has moved “beyond” Chapter 5, which has led to speculation about the future of the saga, especially the form that Chapter 6 will take. Although fans show great interest in this next chapter, Fox has avoided direct mention of it, which has raised more questions about what could happen in the game’s narrative. A fan commented on social media that the way Fox uses terms like “moving from Chapter 5” instead of “moving to Chapter 6” suggests that the latter chapter will be decisive for the story.
The Deltarune series began in 2018 with the release of the first chapter, followed by the second in 2021. The releases of Chapters 3 and 4 occurred simultaneously last year. Some fans believe that if Chapter 5 is released this year, the pace of releases could accelerate even further. This possibility has generated a high level of anticipation within the community, which is debating the impact that Chapter 5 will have on the overall plot.
For now, the uncertainties about Chapter 6 remain, and the emphasis on the development of Chapter 5 seems to be a fundamental piece of the narrative puzzle that Fox has been building. Meanwhile, players eagerly await to discover what surprises this next chapter will bring them.

Fans will be able to follow it on various streaming platforms, including YouTube, Twitch, Facebook Live, TikTok Live, and IGN, among others. Extensive international coverage is also expected, with options for different regions such as Bilibili and Douyin in China.
An event that promises a lot
Among the surprises that could be announced during the ceremony, rumors suggest that Valve might reveal the long-awaited Half-Life 3, while new trailers for titles like Blade, Wolverine, and Silent Hill: Townfall are also anticipated. Additionally, Evanescence will perform live, singing their song Afterlife from the Netflix adaptation of Devil May Cry. These announcements and performances are part of what makes The Game Awards one of the most anticipated events in the video game industry.
Regarding the nominations, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 stands out as one of the favorites to take home multiple awards. However, the ceremony has also left some fans disappointed, as critically acclaimed titles like Deltarune and Keeper did not receive any nominations. This kind of “snubs” often generates debate among followers and players, adding more excitement to the awards presentation.
As the date approaches, players and gaming enthusiasts are preparing for an event full of excitement and surprises that, in addition to rewarding the best in the industry, will serve as a platform for revelations that could change the landscape of video games in the coming year.
The creator Toby Fox has begun to share an early and unfinished version of chapter 5 of Deltarune with some close friends, who have reported positive impressions of what they have seen so far. Although chapter 5 is still in development and its release is not expected before the second half of 2026, initial feedback suggests that the game is, at least, playable and enjoyable.

The creator Toby Fox has started sharing an early and unfinished version of chapter 5 of Deltarune with some close friends, who have reported positive impressions of what they have seen so far. Although chapter 5 is still in development and its release is not expected before the second half of 2026, initial feedback suggests that the game is, at least, playable and enjoyable.
A game destined to be a classic
In his recent statements, Fox has mentioned that the “obstacles” that previously delayed chapters 3 and 4 have now been resolved, which could facilitate a faster development of chapter 5. This is especially encouraging for the Deltarune fanbase, which anticipates a similar experience to the previous installments.
“I showed an early version to a friend and their testimony was: ‘I’m thinking a lot about it and I want to play it more. It’s kawaii when Toby worries about whether he’s good enough’”, Fox shared on their Bluesky account. Although this appreciation was in a joking tone, it illustrates a warm reception among those close to him.
Another friend commented somewhat cryptically, “What is the opposite of ‘I miss Tenna?'”, referring to the antagonist of chapter 3, but Fox quickly clarified that his friend also enjoyed the game. This reinforces the idea that the tone and quality of chapter 5 remain in line with what fans of the saga expect.
RPG fans are experiencing a successful 2025, which contributes to the high expectations surrounding the upcoming release of Deltarune. With recent development jargon suggesting that Fox and his team are on a good path, followers are eager to see what this new chapter will bring.
Toby Fox, creator of the acclaimed games Undertale and Deltarune, has self-identified as inefficient in his video game development methodology. This approach has led to the chapters of Deltarune being released spaced out, with chapter 1 in 2018 and chapter 2 in 2021, while chapters 3 and 4 are scheduled for 2025 and chapter 5 is not expected before the first half of 2026.

Toby Fox, creator of the acclaimed games Undertale and Deltarune, has self-identified as inefficient in his video game development methodology. This approach has led to the chapters of Deltarune being released sporadically, with chapter 1 in 2018 and chapter 2 in 2021, while chapters 3 and 4 are scheduled for 2025 and chapter 5 is not expected before the first half of 2026.
Stupid, but in a good way
In a recent interview with Game Informer, Fox joked about his development style, describing it as “stupid,” although he also acknowledged that it is precisely this consistent workload that has given a unique charm to his games, managing to attract a vast fan base. “I don’t think [my creation method] is stupid, at least not in a totally negative sense. Clearly, many people are happy with the result,” he stated.
Unlike other RPGs where enemies tend to have similar attack patterns, Deltarune offers unique encounters, each with innovative mechanics and puzzles. Fox emphasized that their approach is not simply based on modifying statistics, but on providing completely new and original experiences in each combat and area of the game. “Everything in the game is simply a container for a never-before-seen mechanic,” he explained.
Regarding the wait for future chapters, Fox indicated that the decision of whether it has been worth it will depend on the players. However, he made it clear that there are no longer external factors influencing the release date of chapter 5, which means that the team now has greater control over the development process: “We will release it when it’s ready”.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has swept this year for knowing how to channel the spirit of classic JRPGs and give them a contemporary twist and a high-budget project finish. Exactly what a whole nostalgic generation of the Final Fantasy from the first two PlayStations wants. But many others, who grew up with JRPGs beyond the Final Fantasy of those two generations and who have not stopped playing the genre, feel that something is missing in the game. We lack the feeling that it truly is a JRPG. Because JRPGs are more than turn-based battles, […]
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has taken the year by storm for knowing how to channel the spirit of classic JRPGs and give them a contemporary twist and a high-budget project finish. Exactly what a nostalgic generation of the Final Fantasy from the first two PlayStations wants. But many others, who grew up with JRPGs beyond the Final Fantasy of those two generations and who have not stopped playing the genre, feel that something is missing in the game. We miss it truly feeling like a JRPG.
Because JRPGs are more than turn-based battles, anime aesthetics, and stories about saving the world. In fact, they don’t have to be any of these things. Something that was masterfully demonstrated by a Belgian game in 2008 that couldn’t have a more peculiar name: Off.
One of the most interesting JRPGs of the 00s
Developed by Unproductive Fun Time, a team made up of two people, Mortis Ghost and Alias Conrad Coldwood, the game makes us control El Bateador, a man dressed like a baseball player with a single purpose: to purify the world. To do this, he will have to exterminate all the spirits he encounters along the way, but also those who command, produce, and control them. All with the aim of making the world pure again.
The game, since its release, became an obsession for certain online communities, especially those who love JRPGs that were on platforms like Tumblr. Although originally published in French, its translation into English allowed it to reach a wider audience, becoming one of the most popular games of its year.
Off was created in RPG Maker 2003 and was inspired by games like Final Fantasy, Silent Hill 2, or Killer 7, as well as the novel Ten Little Indians by Agatha Christie, which already suggests the particular strangeness of the game. But it can also make something evident: it is a game made without many resources and that, in not a few ways, can be difficult to play today. This is something that Fangamer has thought would be perfect for a remaster.
With Mortis Ghost at the helm, although without Alias Conrad Coldwood, this remaster of Off is the same game, but more polished. The combat now feels better and is more technical, the graphics are in high definition, and there is more optional content for those who played the original. The only substantial change is the soundtrack, which replaces the original with a new one composed for the occasion by Toby Fox, the creator of Undertale and Deltarune. Both games are heavily influenced by Off.
An example of what a remaster and a JRPG should be
This remaster respects the essence of the original, being the optimal way to play Off today. Perhaps the only Western JRPG that deserves to be called this way for anyone who is a lover of JRPGs due to the depth and interest of its battles and narrative.
Anyone who enjoys RPGs, experimental games, or works of art that play with the boundaries of what is real and what is fiction should play Off. A game full of subtleties, that constantly puts the player in uncomfortable and interesting situations, and that should not go unnoticed. Not in the year of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Because everything that is said about that one applies to Off as well, and even in a more genuine way. Because Off may be the best JRPG of its generation. And it’s not even Japanese.
Tenna, the antagonist with a tube television head from chapter 3 of Deltarune, has intrigued players since his debut in the video game. This character was conceived by Toby Fox in 2016 when he bought a Kinect with the intention of capturing his movements. Although that idea was abandoned, Tenna has found his place in the world of Deltarune thanks to a collaborative effort involving a team of five developers, who brought this character to life in 3D.

Tenna, the tube television-headed antagonist from chapter 3 of Deltarune, has intrigued players since his debut in the video game. This character was conceived by Toby Fox in 2016 when he bought a Kinect with the intention of capturing his movements. Although that idea was abandoned, Tenna has found his place in the world of Deltarune thanks to a collaborative effort involving a team of five developers who brought this character to life in 3D.
Tenna exposed
The development of Tenna highlights the community nature of independent video game design, where a creator can rely on other talents to bring their vision to life. Fox has shared that “Gigi polished the design,” “Clairevoire cleaned up the sprite frames,” and other collaborators contributed in areas such as editing and typography. This process emphasizes that, at times, a single developer must decide to set aside certain tasks to ensure the project’s completion.
Deltarune, since the release of chapters 3 and 4, has gained considerable recognition, reaching the top spot on Steam’s charts and accumulating a 98% positive rating with over 45,000 reviews. Players appreciate the way the game breaks with traditional RPG conventions, resulting in a unique and entertaining experience.
Interestingly, Fox had initially envisioned Tenna performing MikuMikuDance dances, a popular animation software associated with anime characters. This idea adds a humorous and distinctive tone to Tenna’s development, showcasing the kind of bizarre creativity that characterizes Fox’s work.
As fans continue to explore the world of Deltarune, it is expected that Fox has more chapters planned, promising to maintain the interest and originality that have defined this saga since its inception.
La espera casi ha terminado, ya que los tan esperados capítulos 3 y 4 de Deltarune se lanzarán el 5 de junio, una fecha que coincide con la llegada de la nueva consola Switch 2.

The wait is almost over, as the highly anticipated chapters 3 and 4 of Deltarune will be released on June 5, a date that coincides with the arrival of the new Switch 2 console. This release has generated great excitement among fans, who are eager to enjoy the new adventures and the characteristic humor of creator Toby Fox.
A group of friends with a very defined sense of humor
In a recent interview with Destructoid, Fox shared his joke writing process, an essential aspect of his work. According to the developer, his first filter for evaluating whether a joke works is if he himself laughs. But he also takes into account the opinion of his friends, who have the privilege of trying the game before its release. “If none of my friends think something is funny, I can try to improve it,” Fox confessed, reflecting his commitment to the quality of humor in the game.
Despite his efforts, Fox revealed that some of his ideas did not achieve the desired effect. A specific comedic moment where the character Pizzapants (Burgerpants) talks about messages he has received failed to make his friends laugh, even after multiple modifications. “No one laughed,” Fox explained. Despite his work to adjust the dialogue, the final result still did not elicit laughter. “This story is funnier than the dialogue,” the creator commented, highlighting the difficulty of capturing humor.
As fans count down the days for the arrival of Deltarune, Toby Fox has also recommended some indie video games like Balatro and UFO 50 for them to enjoy while they wait. With the release so close, the gaming world is watching how this new installment will unfold and whether Fox’s humor will resonate better with players than with his close circle.
Nintendo has confirmed that Deltarune, the sequel to Undertale, will officially arrive on the new Switch 2 console. This version not only includes the game as fans have enjoyed it, but also features a special room designed to take advantage of the new mouse controls offered by the console’s Joy-Con. Toby Fox, the creator of the game, referred to this area as a very small special room that allows the use of mouse control functions on two controllers simultaneously, something that is only possible on the Switch 2. No one will be left out of entering […]
Nintendo has confirmed that Deltarune, the sequel to Undertale, will officially arrive on the new Switch 2 console. This version not only includes the game as fans have enjoyed it, but also features a special room designed to take advantage of the new mouse controls offered by the console’s Joy-Con. Toby Fox, the creator of the game, referred to this area as a very small special room that allows the use of mouse control functions on two controllers simultaneously, something that is only possible on the Switch 2.
No one will be left out of entering that room
For those who cannot get a Switch 2 right away, Fox clarified that other versions of Deltarune will also have access to this special room, although it will be played with a different control scheme that adjusts to the lack of the exclusive functionalities of the Joy-Con. This inclusion ensures that all players, regardless of the platform they play on, can enjoy this feature.
Additionally, the creator assured that there will be no significant differences in content, dialogues, setting, or music between the different versions of the game. This provides reassurance to Deltarune fans, who have been waiting for the series’ progress for over six years. Fox also confirmed that the highly anticipated chapters 3 and 4 of Deltarune will be released in 2025, while the first four chapters will be available on June 5, a date that coincides with the launch of the Switch 2.
With the release of Deltarune and the new console, fans can look forward to a complete and enriching experience, reaffirming Fox’s mission that no one is left out in this new adventure. Likewise, the arrival of Deltarune marks an exciting time for players as the Switch 2 ecosystem continues to grow.
The long-awaited release of Deltarune Chapters 1-4 has been confirmed for June 5, making it one of the highlights of the upcoming Nintendo Direct. Toby Fox, the creator of the game, announced that chapters 3 and 4 will be available for PC on the same day. Deltarune will come to Nintendo Switch 2 with chapters 3 and 4.

The highly anticipated release of Deltarune Chapters 1-4 has been confirmed for June 5, making it one of the highlights of the upcoming Nintendo Direct. Toby Fox, the creator of the game, announced that chapters 3 and 4 will be available for PC on the same day.
Deltarune will arrive on Nintendo Switch 2 with chapters 3 and 4
Since its first free release in 2018, which was followed by the second chapter in 2021, fans of the game have been eager for more content. Unlike the previous chapters, which were offered for free, Fox has indicated that chapters 3 and 4 will be priced at 24.99 euros, which will include all chapters up to the fourth. This decision aligns with a shift towards a more traditional monetization model for the series.
Despite the long wait since the release of the previous chapters, Fox has been transparent about the challenges of development. In a recent update, it mentioned that development has been complicated, which has resulted in a prolonged waiting period. However, it hinted that chapter 5 is already in the development phase and that there may be plans for more chapters in the future.
All of this has created a palpable expectation among fans, and Fox has used social media and newsletters to keep the community informed and excited. Additionally, the game will also be available on Steam, PS4, and PS5 on the same day of its release.
With this confirmation, Deltarune is approaching its next big release, and players are invited to add it to their wishlist on Steam, while chapters 1 and 2 remain available for free.

Nintendo has just presented its console, the Nintendo Switch 2. It has been a peculiar presentation, with many ups and downs and certainly not what we expected. Although it is also true that it has been complemented with information that has been provided after the presentation. That’s why we are going to gather everything you need to know here. So you don’t have to bounce between different Nintendo pages, in addition to the Direct itself, to be able to find out everything.
Release date, price, and all the controversy
The console will be released on June 5th. It will cost 469.99 euros for the console alone, or 509.99 euros for the console with the new Mario Kart in digital format. The prices of the games that have already been announced range between 80 and 90 euros. Similarly, microSD cards start at 60 euros and the new pro controller will cost 90 euros. Prices that are not very popular and well above what people expected.
The features of the console
The most interesting thing and what we all wanted to know: what the console is like. With a 7.9-inch screen and the same thickness, it is much larger, but with an equivalent weight. With a 1080p LCD screen with HDR capabilities, magnetic controllers, SL and SR buttons, and larger joysticks, it is a much larger and better console. In addition, they have confirmed things we already knew, such as the mouse mode of the joycons.
They have also commented that it has three-dimensional sound, clearer speakers, and microphones with built-in noise cancellation. Additionally, it has a stand with multiple angles, two USB-C ports, one on top and one underneath the console. With 256GB of space, with faster write and read speeds, 4K support, and a fan in the dock, they have also confirmed that it will be fully backward compatible. Except for those games that, for one reason or another, do not work.
Something that has been confirmed is that, in addition to the backward compatibility of games, there are Switch games that will have versions for Nintendo Switch 2. These games can be updated for an extra fee, but they can be updated for free if you are a subscriber to Nintendo Switch Online. The confirmed games so far are Mario Party Jamboree, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, and Pokémon Legends Z-A.
These improvements could be addressed both on a technical level and in the inclusion of new content, both in terms of story and new features. Although for now they are limited to Nintendo games, the door is open for other companies to do the same in the future.
The famous C button
In the end, the famous C button is not useful for anything we thought. It serves to connect to Game Share, a new free feature at launch, but which will become paid, that will allow us to connect with our friends to chat with them. Being able to connect via webcam and also share screens, it is a way to integrate social functions into the console.
Launch Games
Although it is a new console, the truth is that it doesn’t have many launch games. It seems that Nintendo is relying on the Nintendo Switch catalog and its improvements to sustain the first months of the console, given the relatively weak nature of its initial launch. What are its launch games?
Mario Kart World, the new installment of Mario Kart, will be the launch game for the console. With a changing atmosphere that will alter the scenarios, it will feature, in addition to the Grand Prix, two new modes: Survival Mode and Free Mode, where we will have to race until only one remains and run around the world without limitations respectively. Emphasizing the open world and racing everywhere, it is a shift towards a new kind of gameplay within Mario Kart, more similar to Double Dash than the previous installments.
They have also announced that the third and fourth chapters of Deltarune will be released. Being the major launch of the console, even if it is not exclusive to Nintendo Switch 2.
The other launch games are basically third-party games that can already be played on other consoles. That’s why we will list them below without particularly focusing on any of them:
Street Fighter 6
Split Fiction
Hoghwarts Legacy
Hitman World of Assassination
Brave Default Flying Fairy
Yakuza 0 Director’s Cut
Civilization VII
Survival Kids
Cyberpunk 2027 Definitive Edition
Kunitsu Gami
Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S
Nobunaga Ambition
Ridge Racer 2
Nintendo GameCube arrives at launch on Nintendo Switch Online
Another big surprise is that Nintendo GameCube will be coming to Nintendo Switch Online. Exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2, it will launch exclusively with three games, but three of its most beloved games: The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker, Soul Calibur II, and F-Zero GX. They have announced that many more games will be released in the future and that the controls can be customized, in addition to having quality and graphical resolution improvements. To celebrate this, they will also release a GameCube controller edition compatible with the console.
The games coming from now until the end of the year and later
Nintendo has also announced three major games for the console by the end of the year. The first is The Duskbloods, a game from From Software that will be exclusive to Nintendo Switch 2 and is set to release in 2026, which seems to follow the path of Elden Ring: Nightrein. They have also announced a sequel to Kirby Air Rider called Kirby Air Riders, directed by Sakurai, for this year. And although it won’t be available at launch, Donkey Kong Bonanza is a new 3D Donkey Kong game in the style of Super Mario Odyssey or Kirby and the Forgotten Land called Donkey Kong Bananza on July 17.
They have also announced a new IP called Drag X Drive. A wheelchair basketball game that favors and rewards the use of beautiful gameplay and acrobatics. With 3v3 matches and played entirely with both joycons as mice, it is a very unique game that could stand out when it releases next summer.
We will now present all the other announced titles from third parties in list form. There are many, and some are very interesting, although we missed more original games. Except for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, the third part of Hyrule Warriors, which will narrate the events that occurred before Tears of the Kingdom from Zelda’s point of view.
Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition

When can I reserve the console?
You will be able to reserve the console starting April 9th. That said, to do so at the Nintendo store, you will need to receive an email from Nintendo itself in order to proceed. In other stores, you should have no problem doing it without that.
