Deltarune

From Deltarune Wiki

Deltarune is the second role-play game independently developed by Toby Fox, with most art by Temmie Chang. The game's setting is a parallel world from Undertale's, with it having potential connections to its predecessor.[1][2] Deltarune is being developed in GameMaker, and due to its length and complexity, it has a large team of developers.[3] Currently, the game is only available in English and Japanese, as Toby states it is not possible to support other languages during its development.[4]

Deltarune's paid release was June 4, 2025 to coincide with the Nintendo Switch 2's launch date in Japan.[5] Its price is $24.99, with subsequent Chapters intended to be released as free expansions to the paid version of the game.[6] For console versions, Deltarune only has to be bought once on a Nintendo or PlayStation console via cross-buy.[7] SAVE data can also be transferred from the demo to the full game. The official Deltarune FAQ page has further details on this, and emphasizes the option to import data only displays once.

Toby Fox has stated that official content releases for Deltarune and Undertale are from the official accounts, as well as from his Bluesky, Twitter, and Tumblr accounts.[8] Content releases such as anniversary events are also notified via the Newsletter on the official Deltarune and Undertale websites.[9]

Gameplay

Deltarune is an episodic role-playing game with up to seven Chapters listed. It features a party system where Kris leads their friends as they explore the Dark World and Light World.

The Dark World's gameplay features collecting items, solving multiple puzzles, and enemies being visible on the overworld. These enemies can be avoided by running or fought via encounters. These turn-based battles are the core of the game: each party member has a separate turn, where they can be set to perform a command: FIGHT, ACT/MAGIC, ITEM, SPARE, or DEFEND. FIGHT, as well as certain spells under MAGIC, can deal damage to an enemy.

The enemy's turn is a bullet hell segment where the player moves Kris's SOUL to dodge attacks for the party. The SOUL being close to an attack causes grazing to occur, which earns TP for the party to cast Spells.

The player can choose to defeat enemies via violence, or Recruit them via ACTing/Actions or casting Pacify on Tired enemies for a peaceful end. Both choices contributes to the Chapter's route end, which can have unique dialogue and slightly altered events in both the Dark World and Light World. Defeating the main or final bosses a certain way can also influence the Chapter's end.

In contrast, the Light World's gameplay is centered around interacting with Hometown and its residents. There are no battles, and SAVE points only appear in Chapter 4. The menu is the simple one featured in Undertale.

For both worlds, the game is centered around character development that compliments the overall story. The player can influence dialogue in a minor or drastic way, including cutscene changes with choices via prompts, subtle quick time events, and interacting.

Deltarune has up to three SAVE files per Chapter, which can be duplicated and deleted, and encourages replaying a Chapter. The SAVEs work Chapter-by-Chapter, with choices and progress transferring to later Chapters via Completion FILEs. Using a Completion FILE is also optional, with the default file meant for "lighthearted" play.[10] The previous Chapter SAVEs can still be used without affecting the future Chapter SAVEs. Due to cutscenes being unskippable, dialogue can be sped up with the [CANCEL] button,[11] and text boxes can also be skipped by holding the [MENU] button.[12]

Synopsis

Once upon a time, a LEGEND was whispered among shadows.
It was a LEGEND of HOPE.
It was a LEGEND of DREAMS.
It was a LEGEND of LIGHT.
It was a LEGEND of DARK.
This is the legend of DELTA RUNE

Ralsei explaining the prophecy

The player is set to control Kris, a quiet human teenager who lives in a small town populated by monsters. Upon going to school, Kris is paired to be in a group project with Susie, a rude monster student. When retrieving chalk from the supply closet, the two fall into a Dark World and meet Ralsei, a kind-hearted Dark Prince who reveals the prophecy to them:

The three heroes, as The Legend plays

The Dark World and Light World live in harmony with each other: Lightners are supported by the Darkners, who are living manifestations of objects in the Light World. It is foretold by the prophecy that the light and dark will fall out of balance and bring the Roaring, an apocalyptic disaster.

This fate can be prevented by Kris, Susie, and Ralsei, who are the heroes destined to restore balance to both worlds. Thus, the three heroes journey through Dark Worlds to seal the Dark Fountains that the Knight creates across Hometown. Throughout the story, the heroes experience personal growth and form relationships, all while questioning the dynamic between Darkners and Lightners as they uncover the mysteries surrounding Hometown's past.

Alternatively, the player can derail the main story through specific criteria to start the Weird Route, a more violent route of the game that drastically alters several key points in the story.

Game information

Development

Development for Deltarune is separated by Chapters, with upcoming Chapters currently in development. The following consists of a timeline of general development for the game, with information from social media posts, Status Updates, Newsletters, and interviews:

Pre-development

In 2011, the concept for Deltarune came from a fever dream Toby Fox had in college, which depicted an ending to a video game. He was determined to make a game with this ending into a reality.[15]

In April 2012, Toby saw Kanotynes's playing card character designs on Tumblr, which inspired him to make an RPG.[16][17] He had asked for permission to use them,[18] then began development in 2012 on music tracks, created images of Lancer, and wrote script dialogue for characters such as Susie, Lancer and Jevil.[19][20] Despite this, the unnamed RPG's development was abandoned before he could create a single room.[21][22] This RPG idea led to the creation of Undertale, and the original RPG idea later transformed into Deltarune.[23]

During the 2013 Undertale Kickstarter, Toby decided that if he could complete Undertale, Deltarune would be a mix of Undertale and the dream concept.[24] While Deltarune is not listed by its name on the Undertale Kickstarter, it is described as "another game".[25] In a post detailing the Kickstarter's last Stretch Goal, Toby states he will write scripts for Undertale comics and "Another game", which expands on Undertale's world and characters.[26] At the end of the post, Toby describes the other game as being "shrouded in darkness".[27] During and after the campaign, Toby had created image files of Susie.[20]

Initial development

Sometime in 2014 through 2015, Toby begun development for Deltarune by writing, sketching characters, and drafting concepts such as spells.[28] At an unspecified time, Toby shared early parts of Deltarune with Gigi D.G. and Chess.[29] From 2014 through 2015, Toby made concept art of the four main characters.[30] As of 2015, he had done sketches of Susie, Ralsei, and Noelle,[31] and had text files for possible dialogue and prompts.[32]

Following Undertale's release in September 2015, the game's success gave Toby more time to develop Deltarune.[33] He developed the Chapter 1 demo by himself, which took a few years longer than the Undertale Demo.[34]

Him increased contrast.png
him.png, from deltarune.com from 2016 to 2017, with increased contrast

As early as December 2015, deltarune.com's main page was entirely black. The site did not have a favicon or a page title, and only contained a low-contrast image titled him.png,[35][36] which uses the Wingdings font and featured a line from Undertale's unused Entry Number Seventeen. In two follow-up responses to Undertale's success, Toby's comments appear to hint at Deltarune and the site's appearance on December 31, 2015, as the last post mentions "a burning, inexplicable feeling", the very nature of which is "shrouded in darkness".[37][38][39]

From 2016 through 2017, the image was replaced and updated to have a line from Deltarune's prophecy. This line was also uppercase and in the same font: "THREE HEROES APPEARED TO BANISH THE ANGEL'S HEAVEN".[40] In July 2017, the Before the Story track was also teased as part of a PlayStation 4 Undertale dynamic theme for Undertale's console release.[41]

During the three years, Toby often woke up in the middle of the night, and was unable to sleep due to thinking about potential scenes for Deltarune.[42] He also begun properly studying Japanese to help Keiko Fukuichi with smoother translations, and occasionally offered ideas such as first person pronouns.[43][44][45] Toby was also supported by 8-4, Ltd. with the Japanese translation,[46] and the Fangamer staff consistently supported Toby in his projects.[47]

Upon completing Chapter 1, Toby was concerned about his mental health, and realized that it is "not possible" to develop Deltarune by himself and Temmie, as it is complex in programming, writing, cutscenes, and art. Thus, Toby wanted Deltarune to have a larger development team.[3] In his TwitLonger post, he admitted some concern as he has never directed a development team before.[48] The game's complexity also includes halting development for the UNDERTALE Alarm Clock, as Toby also wanted Chess to help develop Deltarune.[49] Unlike Undertale, Toby did not want to prepare a Kickstarter campaign for Deltarune.[50]

Overall development

Post Chapter 1's PC release, 8-4 Ltd. published the console versions of Deltarune, starting from the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 Chapter 1 demo in 2019. These versions and later versions have programming by returning programmer Sarah O'Donnell, who handles the console ports for Deltarune starting from 2019.[52]

During 2019, Toby also focused on overall development flow for the game.[53] This includes a readable outline for all Chapters, major events, and battles.[54] Toby intended everything to have a "never-before-seen gimmick", at the cost of development being inefficient.[55] In general, he considered working on each Chapter the equivalent to developing a game.[56]

In terms of playtesting, Toby's friends also play, who are also part of the Fangamer staff.[57] The game is also playtested by professionals for bugs on both languages and all consoles.[58] On release, the team actively searches for every bug that players may have so that it can be patched as soon as possible.[59]

As of Chapter 2, Toby works with the development team while being physically restricted from his wrist pains.[60] He has been primarily directing than programming, as he cannot program for long periods of time anymore.[61] Despite this limitation, Toby is highly involved. He gives feedback on any part of the game,[62] reads through all Japanese translated sentences,[63] occasionally goes on call to give explicit directions,[64] and ensuring that everything is enjoyable and matches his intentions for the story.[65]

Including Toby, the team has members working every day, with other people occasionally contributing with programming, art, and music.[66] Starting from Chapter 2, the main development team includes Temmie,[67] Sarah,[68] Taxiderby,[69] Fred Wood,[70] and Jean Canellas.[71] On September 2020, team applications were available for Chapter 3 onwards,[72] with up to 1,000 applications sent in less than a day.[73] During Chapter 2's development, AlexMdle and PureQuestion were hired as super testers,[74] and Sara Spalding assisted with difficult programming.[75][76] They all later became part of the main team as programmers for future Chapters.

Despite new people being hired, general delays occurred during Chapter 1&2 Demo's development and patching period. In March 2019 through May 2020, the team had largely spent time in search of an alternate game engine to GameMaker. In the end, Toby decided to stay with GameMaker as he felt as it was the "best fit for the project".[77] The 1&2 Demo was also made as a single project, which caused issues when patching the game.[78] The team had to retest each Chapter per patch until the game_change function was added by YoYoGames,[79] which was later tested publicly by players via the LTS 1&2 Demo.[80]

On October 2023, Toby announced that he hired a new producer to help speed overall development for later Chapters, starting from Chapter 4.[81] The new producer was later revealed to be Robert Sephazon on Deltarune's paid release.[82] In Spring 2024, Toby mentions that production has improved thanks to Robert Sephazon, and that new people were hired.[83] These new hires were later revealed to be Enjl,[84] Joost,[85] and Andy Brophy,[86] who all became part of the development team during Chapter 4's development.

Release

Due to Chapter development being the equivalent to a game, most of the Chapters and the corresponding DELTARUNE Soundtracks have separate release dates. Each pre-release for the Chapter has a trailer, which is created by Everdraed,[87] and occasionally has music from guest contributors. The official deltarune.com website is often updated to reflect these releases, which is primarily performed by Ryan Alyea and Brian Coia. The voice also often makes pre-release posts on the official Bluesky and Twitter.

Chapter 1 was released for free on PC and Mac on October 31, 2018. The Chapter 1 soundtrack was released on November 1, 2018. Subsequent Chapter 1 demo versions for the Switch and PS4 was released in 2019, with Switch 2 and PS5 versions being a part of the paid release in 2025. In 2019, a Chapter 1 Spoiler-Free Trailer was released, and features DOGTARUNE (Trailer).[88]

Chapter 2 was released for free on PC and Mac on September 17, 2021 as part of the Deltarune Chapter 1&2 demo. The Chapter 2 soundtrack was released alongside the demo. The Switch and PS4 versions of the demo was released on September 23, 2021, with Switch 2 and PS5 versions being a part of the paid release in 2025. For Chapter 1&2 Demo's console release, the trailer has Toby in an Annoying Dog suit,[89] and has a fan-made rendition of Rude Buster by Rakuichi.[90][91]

Similarly to the paid release for Undertale, Toby made social media posts stating variants of "Deltarune tomorrow" prior to its release.[92][93] Both Temmie and Fred have also made similar posts on June 3, 2025.[94][95]

Deltarune's paid release was on June 4th 2025 on most platforms; it includes Chapters 3 and 4,[96][97] and the Chapters 3+4 soundtrack was released alongside it. The trailer for the paid release contains Toby returning in the dog suit, a polished arrangement of Game Main Theme (Piano Sketch) by Camellia,[98] and a sepia animation of the heroes by Temmie Chang.[99][5]

Chapter 5 is set to release in 2026 as a free update to the paid release; Chapters 6 and 7 will also be free updates,[6] but their release date is unknown.

Deltarune does not have a native Linux version, but the Windows version works on Linux using compatibility layers, and is verified on Steam for the Steam Deck. Although Undertale was ported to Xbox One, there has been no word on an Xbox version of Deltarune. This may be because game_change, a feature used in Deltarune as of 1&2 demo's v1.16, does not support Xbox.[100]

Version differences

Deltarune has received a number of patches, with the paid release being the full version of the game. It is periodically updated as its development continues. All console versions of Deltarune have optional dynamic borders, around the game.

The current versions are: PC/Mac: v1.05 Steam Beta Branch, consoles: v1.04

There are currently no plans for new patches for the current Chapters as of August 4, 2025.[101]

Anniversaries

Deltarune's official Anniversary date is October 31, which is Halloween and coincides with Chapter 1's PC release date. This Anniversary date is intentional.[103] However, events that pertain to Deltarune more often occur on Undertale's Anniversary date, which is September 15. This is due to Toby Fox also considering it a day to celebrate Deltarune.[104]

An overview of Deltarune Anniversary posts/related events is documented below:

2025 10th Anniversary 7th Anniversary
  • It was not actively celebrated, though Toby shared some of his friend's testimonials on the unfinished Chapter 5 before and after the Anniversary.[133][134][135]

Trivia

  • Deltarune is an anagram of Undertale.
  • The "deltarune" logo is stylistically lowercased, in contrast to the "UNDERTALE" logo being uppercase. Despite this, any in-game mention of the game's namesake is always uppercase, including most external content.[104] Some posts are exceptions and have "Deltarune" with regular title casing, such as post Chapter 1 release,[136][103][108][132] and before the paid release in 2025.[92]
  • The Chapter 1 demo, known as SURVEY_PROGRAM, has a user agreement that states that the player will "ACCEPT EVERYTHING THAT WILL HAPPEN FROM NOW ON." This dialogue is similar to the voice in-game, as it is in uppercase, and a similar question is asked in the introduction.
  • Prior to paid release, the Chapter 1&2 Demo originally described the game as a "program". It and deltarune.com in 2018 also described Deltarune as being intended for those who have finished or are already familiar with Undertale.[137][138]
  • deltarune.com/mobile/ is an unused subpage that states Deltarune is not compatible with mobile devices. It originally appeared when attempting to download Chapter 1 on mobile devices. As of April 2nd, 2025, the Deltarune Chapter 1&2 demo's "PC / Mac" button directly links to Deltarune's Steam page on all devices. There has been no word on mobile versions of Deltarune.

  25. Any money left over after the game's development will go towards extending the world of UnderTale outside of the game... maybe through another game!UnderTale by Toby Fox (Fox, Toby, July 08, 2013.) kickstarter.com.
  26. With this amount of money, I will be able to show you more of Undertale's world and characters. Two ideas I have for this are:

    - Comics

    - Another game

    At $45000, after the development of Undertale, I will write the scripts to these two things.

  29. Toby: I still have memories of showing you and Chess a dramatic battle from UNDERTALE in a hotel room… I remember it was the first time I had shown the battle to anyone else. Wasn’t that the battle with Sans? Do you guys remember this? Also I will also include Chess for this question. Chess come here.

    Gigi: I think some memories might be blending together here. I do remember when you showed me the Undyne the Undying battle in a hotel hallway, having to quickly flip down your laptop whenever someone stopped to talk. I also remember when you showed Chess and me the early parts of DELTARUNE the night before we went to Korea.

  33. I've said it many many times before, but I didn't expect the simple game I made to receive so much attention. Because of that, many interesting things have happened, and now I can even spend my time making another game.DELTARUNE Status Update - Sept 2020 (Fox, Toby, September 15, 2020.) deltarune.com.
  34. When I made the demo of UNDERTALE, I made it to prove to myself that it was possible to make a whole game alone (with some help with the art).

    Because I was able to make it in a few months, I felt that I had proved that it was possible.

    However, making the demo of DELTARUNE...

    took a few years.

  37. The success of "UNDERTALE" has been incredible. Thank you to the artists, the fans, and to my friends for supporting me in 2015. December 31, 2015.
  38. But, lately, something has left me feeling unsettled. A burning, inexplicable feeling...

  42. For the past 3 years I've been waking up in the middle of the night unable to go back to sleep because I've been thinking about the scenes that happen in the game.

    Even though so many details are still hazy,

    I really want to show you the things I've been thinking about.

    That's really my only reason for making this game.

  43. ちなみに、今年は日本語をちゃんと勉強していたので、今回は日本語版の翻訳をもっと手伝えました。

    例えば、スージィを 「俺使い」、 ランサーを 「僕様使い」 というキャラクターにしたのは僕の発想でした。(ヨホ)
    November 02, 2018.
  44. 原作者が真剣に日本語版のことを考えて提案をしてくださって、そこに刺激を受けてこちらもいろんなアイデアが浮かんできて…という体験は、なかなかないです。@tobyfox さんとのお仕事はいつも刺激的で、自分のMAXパワー以上のものを引き出していただいている気がします。140字じゃ伝えきれない感謝… November 03, 2018.
  45. . @tobyfoxさんのすばらしいところは、「こんなふうにしてほしい」という方針を明確に示してくれた上で、「翻訳者はあなただから、僕の意見はあくまでも参考です」と、翻訳の実作業については常にこちらを信頼して任せて下さるところ。まさに過不足のない監修とはこういうことだなと頭が下がります November 04, 2018.
  46. I also want to say thanks to 8-4 Ltd. for translating the game to Japanese and supporting me in a lot of other ways just to make something good happen, they're amazing. We all worked on the translation really hard!! November 02, 2018.
  47. And special thanks to @fangamer for always supporting me in whatever I do. They're good people and always looking out for my best interests somehow. November 02, 2018.

  50. 9. "Will you do a Kickstarter?"

  52. aw yes! now that it’s been announced I can finally share that I’m handling both the Switch and PS4 ports of Deltarune (*´∇`*) (enlisted by 8-4, naturally) February 14, 2019. Archived on September 13, 2020.
  53. The game will be released in many "Chapters", the first of which I released two years ago on Halloween. Since that time, I've been working hard to figure out the rest of the game.DELTARUNE Status Update - Sept 2020 (Fox, Toby, September 15, 2020.) deltarune.com.
  54. The good news is that a few months ago, I completed a significant milestone regarding the game's design. I completed readable outlines for every chapter in the game, including first-pass dialogue for almost all the cutscenes, examples of the music, etc.

    Although certain details are still hazy, the flow of the game and all major events and battles that take place are now clear.
    DELTARUNE Status Update - Sept 2020 (Fox, Toby, September 15, 2020.) deltarune.com.
  55. “In Deltarune, we can’t rely on just tweaking numbers. Everything in the game is simply a container for a never-before-seen gimmick. Every enemy has new bullet patterns, new [actions], every area has new puzzles, etc. I don’t necessarily think this is a good or bad thing, after all Final Fantasies are some of my favorite RPG’s... but the method that I have chosen is not very efficient for development.”Inefficient And Laborious – The Ongoing Path To Making Deltarune (Diaz, Ana, September 30, 2025.) gameinformer.com.
  56. That being said, I do feel like calling each episode a "Chapter" really undersells the fact that creating each one is like developing its own game. I've made the equivalent of like 2 and a half Undertales at this point. Continuously."I've Made The Equivalent Of Like 2 And A Half Undertales At This Point"- A Quick 'Deltarune' Chat With Toby Fox (Grassl, Zion, December 30, 2025.) nintendolife.com.
  57. Chapter 3 is pretty much content complete! There will be essentially no more changes to dialogue or gameplay from here. Hooray!

    On my birthday, a friend came over to my house and played through the whole thing.

    It was very gratifying to see them laugh at all of the stupid jokes we've labored over for years. It took a long time to get here, but now it feels like everything will be downhill.

    After they completed it, I asked "did anything seem incomplete" and they mentioned that "the bullets seemed kind of hard..."

    I nodded and forgot about this feedback immediately.

  61. 「Chapter 1」と『UNDERTALE』は全編僕ひとりでプログラミングしましたけど、手首を痛めてしまったせいで、今はもう、あんまり長時間プログラミングできなくて……なので、「Chapter 2」は90%ぐらい、チームの別のメンバーがプログラミングしました。そう、僕は今回から、ディレクターになったんです(ベレー帽をかぶった、プロフェッショナルなイヌをご想像ください)。

  77. We had actually attempted to develop the game since the time too. Development started around March 2019 and a 99% work was spent on investigating engines alternate to GameMaker, which I used for Chapter 1.

    Without getting into the details, I decided a few months ago to go back to GameMaker after all. It still felt like the best fit for the project. So using Chapter 1 as a base, we've started creating Chapter 2 since May 2020.

Everyone's only been working on the team for a little over a month and a half, but it's making a real difference already.

    For this special day, I've interviewed some of the Development Team of DELTARUNE Chapter 2! Let's reminisce on some standard memories about developing the game!

  130. I'm very eager to show you what we've made since 6 years ago.

    The specific time is still relying on localization and console porting.

    Please hear me clawing at the door trying to escape the shallow coffin I have been buried in.

  132. 1 2 Deltarune reached a 6th Anniversary.

    Since UNDERTALE came out, 9 years passed, and I only released 2 Chapters of DELTARUNE so far.

    Internally, Chapter 3&4 are basically completed besides translation and bug testing... they are frozen... waiting to be released...

  133. I had a friend play through an early unfinished version of Chapter 5!

    Their testimonial was "I am still thinking about it a lot and want to play it more and it's kawaii when toby is worried about if it's good enough"

  134. I showed another friend.

    Their testimonial was "What's the opposite of 'I miss Tenna?'"

  135. My friend said this affectionately as a joke and perhaps it doesn't have a deep meaning. They liked the game.@tobyfox.undertale.com on Bluesky, November 04, 2025.
  136. Here are my thoughts on Ch 1 of Deltarune. This should answer some questions.
