Toby Fox has recently confirmed the release times for Deltarune Chapters 3 and 4, adding to the excitement surrounding the game’s launch. Notably, Nintendo Switch users will benefit from a cross-buy deal; if they purchase Chapters 1-4 on the Switch, they will have access to play on the upcoming Switch 2 at no additional cost. PlayStation users can also take advantage of a similar offer, allowing for seamless transitions between the PS4 and PS5 versions after purchase. The announcement comes on the heels of Deltarune’s addition to the Switch 2, following the successful release of its first two chapters in 2021.
The sequel picks up the story of teenager Kris, monster Susie, and Ralsei, the prince of the Dark World, as they embark on a quest to save their universe. The Deltarune reveal was a highlight of Nintendo’s extensive Switch 2 Direct presentation, which also introduced other exciting titles, such as Mario Kart World, an open-world game, and FromSoftware’s new IP, The Duskbloods. Scheduled to launch on June 5, 2025, the Switch 2 has already seen overwhelming demand for pre-orders from eager fans. Fox’s confirmation of a cross-buy deal and the specific release times for Chapters 1-4 have intensified the anticipation within the game’s community.
While Chapters 1 and 2 were released free of charge, Chapters 3 and 4 will require payment. Additionally, Deltarune will feature exclusive elements tailored for the Switch 2 experience, promising to make fans feel right at home. Alongside Deltarune, the Switch 2 will introduce several new titles, including Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment and Donkey Kong Bananza, along with popular third-party games like Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition. This impressive lineup further solidifies the Switch 2’s appeal among gamers.
