With the launch of the Switch 2 just hours away, fans of DELTARUNE can also look forward to the long-anticipated arrival of Chapters 3 and 4. The new content will be available on both Switch and Switch 2 starting at midnight on June 5, 2025. Chapters 1 and 2 are already accessible on the current Switch, and this release marks the first major update to the game in over three years.
DELTARUNE creator Toby Fox has kept details under wraps until recently, but in a new interview with Nintendo, he offered a glimpse into what players can expect from the upcoming chapters. According to Fox, Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 will deliver contrasting experiences, each with its own unique tone and gameplay.
Fox likened Chapter 3 to “a breath of helium,” suggesting a whimsical and fast-paced shift from the usual format. The chapter includes a dressing room and, based on trailers, features a scene where characters form a band—hinting at rhythm-style mini-games. Fox advised players to pace themselves with Chapter 3, as it may be best enjoyed in segments rather than all at once.
In contrast, Chapter 4 is expected to be the most traditional RPG-style entry in the series so far. Fox described it as “a breath of fresh air” after Chapter 3’s eccentric energy. He also noted that Chapter 4 includes numerous cutscene events, especially at the beginning, and recommended it to fans who enjoy story-driven content.
Like previous chapters, both new entries will contain hidden elements and clever tricks. Fox encouraged players to replay both chapters if they feel they’ve missed anything, reinforcing DELTARUNE’s reputation for layered storytelling and replayability.
