Deltarune is set to elevate the gaming experience with exclusive features on the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. Announced during the Nintendo Direct for Switch 2 on April 2, the game will not only include Chapters 3 and 4 but also introduce some unique elements tailored for the next-gen console. Let's dive into what makes the Switch 2 version of Deltarune special and how much you can expect to spend on this exciting addition to your gaming library.
Deltarune Switch 2 Exclusive Features
One of the standout features for the Switch 2 version of Deltarune is the introduction of a "SPECIAL ROOM." As shared by the game's creator, Toby Fox, in a Fangamer newsletter, this room will utilize the innovative mouse functionality of the new Joy-Cons. Fox explained, "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 unique feature promises to enhance gameplay in a way that's exclusive to Switch 2 users.
For those who don't own a Switch 2, fear not. The SPECIAL ROOM will still be accessible, but with a different control scheme. Additionally, players can seamlessly import their save files from the Nintendo Switch demo of Deltarune Chapters 1 and 2 to continue their adventure in the new version.
Deltarune Future Chapters and Pricing
Deltarune is priced at $24.99, which includes Chapters 1 through 4. Initially, Chapters 1 and 2 were released for free in 2018 and 2021, respectively, with the announcement that subsequent chapters would be paid. However, Toby Fox has now confirmed that Chapters 3-5 will be available as free updates. He expressed his hope that players would feel they got "a super super super super good deal" with this approach.
Alongside the game, the Deltarune soundtrack will be available on Steam for $14.99, featuring over 150 songs from Chapters 3 and 4. Future chapters will also see their music added to the soundtrack at no extra cost, ensuring that fans get comprehensive and value-packed content.
Deltarune Chapters 1-4 are set to launch on June 5, 2025, coinciding with the release of the Nintendo Switch 2. The game will be available across multiple platforms, including PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC. Stay tuned for more updates and detailed information on this highly anticipated title.
