Seven years. SEVEN. YEARS. That's how long Deltarune fans have been grinding this real-life waiting simulator, and according to Nintendo Life, we're finally past the halfway point of Toby Fox's gloriously weird RPG saga with the simultaneous drop of Chapters 3 and 4.
To celebrate the occasion, Fox went ahead and gave the game an official release on Switch 2, which is either a genius move or a personal attack on everyone who's been refreshing their feeds since 2021. The Nintendo Life review is calling it a "superbly subversive RPG that defies all rules," which honestly tracks for a game that has spent years speedrunning our patience.
So what's the deal with Chapter 5?
Nintendo Life has already updated their review with Chapter 5 impressions, making this one of the freshest takes on the game dropping right now. If you want the full breakdown, they've got it conveniently placed above the conclusion so you can skip straight to the new content like the side-quest-skipping goblin you are.
For the uninitiated, Deltarune is the spiritual successor to the legendary Undertale - also by Toby Fox - and has been rolling out in chapters since 2018. Chapter 1 was free, Chapter 2 dropped in 2021, and now Chapters 3 and 4 have finally respawned into existence alongside the Switch 2 port.
Why should you care?
Look, if you've never played an Undertale or Deltarune game, you've been playing the wrong RPGs. These are the kind of games that make you question every gaming convention you've ever known, then hit you in the feelings so hard you need a cooldown period. The "defies all rules" descriptor from Nintendo Life isn't just hype - this franchise genuinely plays by its own rulebook.
The Switch 2 release gives both newcomers and veterans a shiny new reason to boot up the adventure, and with more than half the story now accessible, there's never been a better time to jump into Ralsei's fluffy little world. Just... maybe don't ask Toby Fox when the rest is coming out. Some quests have no ETA.
