Development of Deltarune began in 2012, three years before Fox's previous game, Undertale, was released. Though it shares some narrative elements with Undertale, including alternate versions of characters from Undertale and the fact that Deltarune is an anagram of Undertale,[5] it takes place in a different setting. In an FAQ about the game, Fox implied that there may be direct connections between the two worlds.[6] Deltarune's battle system was overhauled to more closely resemble the combat of the Final Fantasy series. The first chapter of the game was released for free on October 31, 2018, for macOS and Windows; the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 editions were released on February 28, 2019. The second chapter was released for free on the same platforms in September 2021. More chapters are planned for a paid release, but no release date has been announced yet. What has been released so far of the game has been generally praised by critics for its soundtrack, characters, and sense of humor.
