Deltarune Chapter 2 Release Date Announced | Screen Rant
Undertale's sixth anniversary livestream culminated in the reveal of Deltarune Chapter 2's release date, and it's arriving Friday, September 17. Undertale creator Toby Fox dedicated the stream to the original game, celebrating the six-year milestone of the franchise in a Deltarune Chapter 1 playthrough streamed alongside the indie game merch aficionados at Fangamer.
The Undertale developer was previously rumored to try for a late 2020 release date for Deltarune Chapter 2, but this never came to be. Deltarune information has remained aside from a few screenshots since then. This silence continued up until Fox's announcement of the Undertale anniversary stream. Leading up to the event, a new line of Undertale stickers and upcoming Good Smile Company Papyrus and Sans figurines were revealed. However, the actual September 15 stream saved the best for last.
Fox and Fangamer dropped the major reveal at the tail end of the Deltarune Chapter 1 stream after the three hosts left the set. A plush of Undertale's Annoying Dog, representing Fox himself, slowly creeped toward the controller on the couch, and the screen displayed the options to "Keep Playing Chapter 1" or "Continue to Chapter 2." After selecting the second option, all-new footage of Kris, Toriel, and Susie led to an official teaser for Undertale Chapter 2. According to the video and Toby Fox on Twitter, Undertale Chapter 2's release date is set for Friday, September 17 at 8 PM EDT for PC, Nintendo Switch, and PS4.
Fox talks about a variety of inspirations for Deltarune throughout the broadcast. Perhaps in a nod to fans wanting an unannounced Undertale 2, the creator comments that he purposefully framed the world of Deltarune to "make it seem like Undertale." The build of the game played on the stream also had several unique Easter eggs, as NPCs like Birdly make fourth-wall-breaking references to the real-world event and a birthday cake with the number six at its center could be spotted sitting on a shelf in the background of Seam's shop. Fox and Fangamer have also revealed several new pieces of merchandise, including new mugs, a blue Sans hoodie, and small figurines of Undertale characters like Sans, Papryus, Frisk, and Toriel.
Throughout the course of a good-spirited and -humored steam, Fox and Fangamer managed to pack in plenty of exciting news about Undertale and Deltarune Chapter 2. Years have past since the release of Deltarune Chapter 1 rekindled fans with determination, and the impending launch of the second chapter in Kris, Susie, and Ralsei's story looks poised to do the same.
Deltarune Chapter 2 will release for PS4, Nintendo Switch and PC on September 17, 2021.
