The third and fourth chapters of Deltarune are still on the way

One of the main characters from Deltarune Chapter 1. — Toby Fox

Toby Fox, the mind behind the acclaimed Undertale, announced late yesterday evening that Deltarune chapters three and four are still on the way, but there’s still a lot of work to be done. In a post on BlueSky, Fox said he is “still console testing” and though he’s found fewer bugs than before, there are still plenty to correct — and he hasn’t even started testing on the PlayStation 5 yet.

This update comes a month after professional bug testing began for the fourth chapter of the game on PC. Two weeks ago, Fox said he has to implement and test trophies on PlayStation, as they’re a requirement for the game to be released on the platform.

Still console testing. There are fewer bugs, but there's a lot to go through. (Haven't even tested PS5 yet)In addition to fixing Ch3/Ch4, we also need to implement having saves from the DEMO carry over to the main game on consoles… We only received the technology to do this now. I hope it works!

Deltarune has been available in an unfinished state since 2018. Fox launched its second chapter in 2021, and he’s been diligent with updates since then. His original plan was to release chapters three, four, and five at the same time and complete the game, but Fox did not want to leave fans without a release for so long.

Details about the game are still scarce, but in his September 2021 update, Fox said the game will “definitely cost more than Undertale.” Whether chapters three and four will release at the same time or together is also unclear.

Undertale caught the attention of gamers for its heartfelt world and charming characters, but also because it was created by a single person. The indie title left a huge impression, with even major titles like Baldur’s Gate 3 featuring Easter eggs that reference it. Though the wait for Deltarune might be long, Fox says it will be worth it and asks fans to be patient.

Fox still plans to release both chapters in 2025, but it’s still early in the year. Fans may need to hunker down for a bit longer until they’re available in a playable state.

Helldivers 2 now lets players customize their favorite weapons

Two soldiers hug in front of an explosion in Helldivers 2.

Helldivers 2 received an unexpected update with new weapon customizations and more enemy types, just in time for the Illuminate to come roaring out of a black hole with their sights set on Super Earth. "In a sudden, completely unprovoked offensive, they emerged. Nothing is safe, not even the heart of democracy itself," the announcer shouts, exaggerated gravitas in his voice. "Liberty's darkest hour approaches. Super Earth needs you."

The update lands with all of the tongue-in-cheek humor that Helldivers 2 brings to the table, but it also introduces new Illuminate enemy types, including the jetfighter-like Stingray and the Crescent Overseer, a foe that can launch attacks over cover. Then there's the Fleshmob, described as "a Frankenstein's monster of Voteless parts" that is reminiscent of Flood Carriers from Halo. The PlayStation Blog post hints at other, as-yet-unannounced enemies.

Ghost of Yotei launch date shown in new trailer, and it’s sooner than you think

Ghost of Yotei

After a long wait, Sony has finally lifted the veil on Ghost of Yotei's release date: October 2, 2025. A new story trailer introduces players to the main antagonists, a group of six gang members that Atsu has sworn to hunt down. Called "The Onryo's List," Atsu carries it with her everywhere she goes — and uses it to wipe the blood of her enemies from her blade.

In the PlayStation Blog post, Sony writes, "It’s been nearly five years since we shipped Ghost of Tsushima, and in that time we’ve been hard at work making Ghost of Yōtei something special. While the stories are unrelated, it’s important to us to make this a worthy follow-up to Jin’s journey, and we can’t wait for you to experience Atsu’s quest for vengeance later this year."
