with an adorable illustration and some news: he's releasing Deltarune Chapters 3 and 4 in 2025 "100%".

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.

The name "Deltarune" itself is an anagram of "Undertale." However, Deltarune features a new protagonist, Kris, who finds themselves transported into a mysterious "Dark World" along with the school bully, Susie.

Together with a familiar-looking goat creature named Ralsei, the three "Lightners" set out to close mysterious "Dark Fountains" that have sprung up all over the world, throwing off the balance between light and dark.
