DELTARUNE Updates

2025

June 2

?? Toby Fox has published a fresh guide for Deltarune Chapters 1-4, focusing on non-violent gameplay and introducing Default State saves. The new Default State save feature enables players to begin from any chapter using a pre-set file, beneficial for beginners or those changing gaming platforms. These saves restrict items and Castle Town content to promote complete playthroughs. The guide also clarifies that sparing or calming foes enlists them in Castle Town, opening up side content, whereas defeating them violently enhances stats but eliminates that content and might modify cutscenes.
