Toby Fox has announced that Deltarune Chapter 3 and 4 will release in 2025. The announcement comes courtesy of a sixth anniversary post for Chapter 1 of Deltarune. In the post, he said the following:
“I’m very eager to show you what we’ve made since 6 years ago. Chapter 3 & 4 will 100% come out in 2025. 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.”

Previously, Toby Fox said the following about Deltarune‘s release schedule:
“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…
So, now that Chapter 3 is nearing completion… I think it’s a good time to re-discuss how we will release DELTARUNE for purchase. My original plan was to release Chapter 3, 4, and 5 together. However, the finish line of Chapter 5 is still pretty far off… and I don’t think anybody really wants to wait that long to release anything. Especially me.
So, new strategy: No more waiting for Chapter 5. Instead, we are going to focus on putting DELTARUNE out for purchase once we finish Chapter 4. That should make everything a bit more reasonable!”
