The latest Deltarune Chapter 3, 4, and 5 update is live, and it primarily focuses on how work on Chapter 4 is going and the road to the release of Chapter 3 & 4. Toby Fox noted in the July 2024 newsletter that three people completed the “unfinished Chapter 4” and some of the development tasks involve adjusting four battles, working on two cutscenes, and polishing a bit.
In the update, Fox noted that the goal is to have a simultaneous worldwide release on both consoles and PCs for the third and fourth parts. He also noted those two together are longer than the first and second ones. As for Chapter 5 of Deltarune, Fox noted initial work on bullet patterns and maps started.
Toby Fox also released a “Quests to Release Chapter 3 & 4” page that offers a more detailed explanation of the current Deltarune progress as the team works toward getting to Chapter 5. It goes over how YoYoGames made a new Gamemaker function just for this title called game_change and the challenges of being the test case first. Then it talks about getting the console versions of the game prepared. (The first two chapters appeared on the Switch and PS4.) The Japanese localization work will start after that. Finally, they’ll deal with bugs, getting a rating, and the last bits of preparation for release.
Deltarune Chapter 3 & 4 are in development for consoles and the PC.
