Deltarune
Deltarune: Chapter 3, 4 and 5 are in development at Toby Fox, who explained how his intention is to release them all together and for a total purchase price, so they won't be free like the first two chapters.After the worldwide success with Undertale, which became part of the general videogame culture at this point, there was great curiosity for the new work of Toby Fox, who recently published his Deltarune project, divided into chapters.
Deltarune: Chapter 2 received a release date just this week and was made available on September 17, 2021.
As well as Chapter 1, which came out a couple of years ago on Nintendo Switch as well as on PC and PS4, its distribution is free, but it is a progressive introduction to the full game, which then will have a real standard price.
Trying to do a little 'to clarify the future of Deltarune, Toby Fox explained that he plans to release all subsequent parts of the game, namely Deltarune Chapter 3, 4, and 5 all at once, but there is still no precise release date or period for that.
The fixed idea, for the moment, it's just to release the three remaining chapters together and put them on sale at a price, therefore not for free: that will be the moment when the author "will ask the players to buy the game", explained Fox. The price is not yet known but it looks set to cost more than Undertale, which currently costs around € 15.
