Deltarune chapters 3 and 4 launch June 5 with contrasting gameplay and story experiences
With the launch of the Switch 2 just hours away, fans of DELTARUNE can also look forward to the long-anticipated arrival of Chapters 3 and 4. The new content will be available on both Switch and Switch 2 starting at midnight on June 5, 2025. Chapters 1 and 2 are already accessible on the current Switch, and this release marks the first major update to the game in over three years.
DELTARUNE creator Toby Fox has kept details under wraps until recently, but in a new interview with Nintendo, he offered a glimpse into what players can expect from the upcoming chapters. According to Fox, Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 will deliver contrasting experiences, each with its own unique tone and gameplay.
Fox likened Chapter 3 to 'a breath of helium,' suggesting a whimsical and fast-paced shift from the usual format. The chapter includes a dressing room and, based on trailers, features a scene where characters form a band—hinting at rhythm-style mini-games. Fox advised players to pace themselves with Chapter 3, as it may be best enjoyed in segments rather than all at once.
In contrast, Chapter 4 is expected to be the most traditional RPG-style entry in the series so far. Fox described it as 'a breath of fresh air' after Chapter 3's eccentric energy. He also noted that Chapter 4 includes numerous cutscene events, especially at the beginning, and recommended it to fans who enjoy story-driven content.
Like previous chapters, both new entries will contain hidden elements and clever tricks. Fox encouraged players to replay both chapters if they feel they've missed anything, reinforcing DELTARUNE's reputation for layered storytelling and replayability.

Nintendo Switch 2 launches with high demand and long queues in Tokyo
Gaming fans flocked to stores for the global launch of Nintendo's new Switch 2 console, with demand running high for the upgraded device. In Tokyo's Ikebukuro shopping district, dozens of lucky lottery winners queued outside electronics retailer Bic Camera to collect their pre-ordered consoles. 'I feel like I'm going to cry,' said Yumi Ohi, a 30-year-old delivery contractor who traveled from nearby Saitama Prefecture after missing out on previous sales lotteries. The Switch 2 retains the hybrid design of its predecessor but includes a larger screen and improved graphics. Nintendo is launching the console with titles like 'Mario Kart World' and expects strong early adoption due to the established base of Switch users. 'The much larger audience of Switch users should translate to stronger adoption in the opening part of its lifecycle,' said Piers Harding-Rolls, an analyst at Ampere Analysis. Since launching the original in 2017, Nintendo has sold over 152 million Switch consoles globally. That momentum, driven by hits such as 'Animal Crossing: New Horizons' and two 'Legend of Zelda' titles, has created high expectations for the Switch 2. The company reported receiving 2.2 million applications for its sales lottery in Japan and saw U.S. retailer Target sell out pre-orders in under two hours. Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa confirmed plans to strengthen production capacity and exceed the sales forecast of 15 million units this fiscal year. Analysts project lifetime Switch 2 sales could top 100 million by 2030. Despite some concerns over the limited number of first-party launch titles, fan excitement remains high. 'Given it's a special occasion, I wanted to buy the Switch 2 right away,' said Shinichi Sekiguchi, a hotel receptionist in his thirties.

Gamers line up for Nintendo Switch 2 launch with global shortfall expected
TOKYO: Gaming fans queued up for the launch of Nintendo's Switch 2 on Thursday, which is widely expected to be in short supply globally amid pent-up demand for the more powerful next-generation gaming device. 'The level of demand seems to be sky-high,' said Serkan Toto, founder of the Kantan Games consultancy. In the Ikebukuro shopping district of Tokyo, dozens of successful applicants to a sales lottery by electronics retailer Bic Camera, lined up before the store opened to collect their devices. 'I feel like I'm going to cry,' Yumi Ohi, a 30 year-old delivery contractor, told Reuters. Ohi had missed out in other lotteries and had come from Saitama prefecture, adjacent to Tokyo, to receive her Switch 2. Nintendo has sold 152 million Switch home-portable devices since launching in 2017. It became a games juggernaut with titles including two 'The Legend of Zelda' titles and COVID-19 pandemic breakout hit 'Animal Crossing: New Horizons'. The Switch 2 bears many similarities with its predecessor but offers a larger screen and improved graphics and debuts with titles including 'Mario Kart World'. 'The much larger audience of Switch users should translate to stronger adoption in the opening part of its lifecycle,' said Piers Harding-Rolls, an analyst at Ampere Analysis. 'Nintendo is better prepared this time around' to deal with the high demand, he said. Nintendo aims to match Switch success with new console The launch of the $499.99 Switch 2 is a test of Nintendo's supply chain management during US President Donald Trump's trade war. Nintendo last month forecast sales of 15 million Switch 2 units during the current financial year, as well as 4.5 million Switch units. President Shuntaro Furukawa said Nintendo will strengthen production capacity to respond to strong demand and focus on sales promotion in an effort to exceed the forecast. 'Given it's a special occasion, I wanted to buy (the Switch 2) right away on its release date,' said Shinichi Sekiguchi, a hotel receptionist in his thirties. Nintendo said it received 2.2 million applications for its Switch 2 sales lottery on its My Nintendo Store in Japan. Pre-orders at Target sold out in less than two hours. 'You are looking at weeks or months until you can walk into a store and buy a Switch 2,' said Toto of Kantan Games. Investor expectations for the new device are similarly lofty. Nintendo's shares are trading near highs and have gained almost 30% this year. Concerns include whether momentum for the Switch 2 will be sustained after hardcore gamers have upgraded. 'The volume of first-party games on offer at launch isn't as strong as it could be, so some more casual users may wait and see how the games available build over the next one to two years before making the leap,' said Ampere's Harding-Rolls. Ampere forecasts Switch 2 sales to exceed 100 million units in 2030. 'Mario Kart World' has a U.S. sticker price of $79.99, generating debate over the price of games. Nintendo is also attracting third-party titles to the system. 'I've been around since the era of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System and games from (that period) were expensive too so I think it's somewhat within the acceptable range,' said Akitomo Takahashi, a salesman in his forties. Takahashi said he was keen to play action role-playing game 'Elden Ring' on his Switch 2.

Japan's Nikkei surges on trade deal hopes lift tech; Toyota Industries slides

The benchmark Nikkei 225 Index closed 0.8% higher, while the broader Topix added 0.5%. Gainers outnumbered decliners on the Nikkei, with 138 stocks advancing versus 82 ending in the red.

The trend of rising semiconductor stocks spread to the Japanese stock market on the day along with hopes of progress in trade talks, Wataru Akiyama, a strategist at Nomura Securities, said. 'Semiconductor-related shares are on the rise due to expectations of strong results stemming from chip demand centred around AI.' The yen was little changed at 143.94 per dollar, after a 0.9% slide on Tuesday, benefiting exporters. Japan's Nikkei bounces as US tariff fears ease, yen softens The United States is expecting countries to make their best offers on trade negotiations by Wednesday as sweeping tariffs loom. However, Japan has not received a letter from the US seeking its best proposals on trade talks, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi said.
