It's Winter.

Cold water falls from the top of the sky.

It's unavoidable, but eventually Spring will show up...

It has nothing to do with winter, but let's share another video from DELTARUNE Chapter 5's Castle Town.

It's a continuation from last time. You need to have Tenna in your town to see this one...

Of course, this is a spoiler if you haven't completed Chapter 3 and 4 yet.

Progress is going excellently!

We have begun the localization process! We extracted the text from the game... 8-4 and I annotated all of the text with notes for the translator.

After localization reaches its final stages, we will begin testing with a professional testing team.

We also need to examine how the game operates on consoles. We will start considering that in January.

If I had to give a realistic estimate, I believe that it will take several months to release the game from where we are now.

It feels crazy to say this even though only 6 months ago you guys only had Chapters 1 and 2, but in a few months, much of the team will probably already be focusing their attention on Chapter 6...

A FEW MORE DETAILS

• All the rooms in the game are more or less done, minus polish to the backgrounds.
• Almost all the scenes in the game are complete. A single digit amount of them need visual polish.
• Most of the battles in the game are done, except for a couple. These unfinished battles function from beginning to end, but need adjustments to their pacing and bullet patterns to be considered complete.

The game contains hours of fun!

I looked through the soundtrack, and this is the only song that doesn't spoil something.

Most of the remaining shopkeepers in the game use this music.

Well, that's everything about Chapter 5!

It's not very Wintry, but since it's been around six months, isn't it a good time to look back on Chapter 3 and 4 and share our thoughts?

CHAPTER 3 and 4 LOOK BACK »

Hey, check this out!

((walks into you and then the screen swirls with a loud noise))

SQUARE ENIX is doing an official collaboration with UNDERTALE!

So far, the idea is some shirts and musical albums. (Temmie contributed a couple of the designs, too!)

I should mention the piano album, too! Echoes Beneath

Many talented artists from Square Enix work together to create and perform this. Yoko Shimomura (composer of Kingdom Hearts, LIVE A LIVE, Super Mario RPG, and much much more) was the producer, and even arranged one of the tracks!

Pretty cool, huh? ((Turns red and disappears with a small noise))

Hey, wait! I'm stronger than that! ((Disappears instead by crumbling piece by piece and slowly lowering off the screen))

That's better.

One last thing! DELTARUNE is 20% OFF for the Steam Winter Sale!

It'll be on sale on console platforms as well in the coming days, so please keep an eye out.

... I'm pretty sure all of the people reading the newsletter already bought the game though, right?

Chapter 5!!! It's really moving along now!!! Happy 2026!!!
