Deltarune is set to launch an exciting version exclusive to the Nintendo Switch 2, packed with unique features that elevate the gaming experience. Announced during the recent Nintendo Direct for Switch 2 on April 2, this release will include Chapters 3 and 4, along with some exclusive elements tailored for the next-generation console.
A standout feature of the Switch 2 version is a unique room designed to utilize the new mouse functionality of the Joy-Cons. Toby Fox, the game's developer, shared in a Fangamer newsletter, "So, we made a very small SPECIAL ROOM which takes advantage of using MOUSE CONTROLS ON TWO CONTROLLERS AT ONCE, only possible on the Nintendo Switch 2!!" This innovative feature promises an immersive experience, showcasing the capabilities of the Switch 2. For those playing on other devices, this special room will still be accessible, though with a different control scheme. Players can also transfer their save files from the Nintendo Switch demo of Deltarune 1 and 2 to this new version, ensuring a seamless transition.
Deltarune will be priced at $24.99, encompassing Chapters 1 through 4. Initially released in 2018 and 2021 respectively, Chapters 1 and 2 were free, with the announcement that subsequent chapters (3-5) would be paid content. However, Toby Fox has exciting news for fans: future chapters will be added as free updates. "But, it's my hope that as we complete more Chapters, you'll feel like this game was a super super super super good deal," Fox stated. This commitment to providing value to players is commendable, ensuring that a one-time purchase of the game will grant access to all future content.
Additionally, the game’s soundtrack will be available on Steam for $14.99, featuring over 150 songs in the upcoming release of Chapters 3 and 4. Future chapters will also include new songs, all added for free. Deltarune aims to deliver a comprehensive and enriching experience, making every penny spent well worth it.
Mark your calendars for June 5, 2025, when DELTARUNE Chapters 1-4 will launch alongside the Nintendo Switch 2. The game will also be available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC. To stay informed about the latest developments, be sure to check out our dedicated article below!
