Let's just cut right to it.

Update 1.2.0 is releasing on July 31st, 2026. Because of time zones though, most of the world will get it the day before.

You may recall that I previously said the update was finished, and that is true. So why the long wait? Well, the next update is looking to be quite big. When I first put the plan for Part 2 together, a lot of content ideas were planned for different updates. While this has remained mostly according to plan, the scope of the last update, 2.0.0, is growing. As such, to focus on development efforts for that final update, that update's major content got pushed to 1.3.0, the one after this one.

The next update was already large, but just so the wait between updates isn't horribly unjust, 1.2.0 will release later so 1.2.0 can continue great progress. As it stands now, the update is now leaving the concept phase. One bit of music needs to be added, and a guest artist will also be composing for this update, but then the music is finished. And then... level design basically. I'm going to design enemies as I go based on what feels right.

If I had to guess, 1.3.0 will be out by the end of September, and you'll get your first look at that when the 1.2.0 drops in July.

Deltarune Tomorrow

Life also gets in the way sometimes. I have other hobbies, and a lot of those are about to be eaten up with Deltarune once Chapter 5 comes out in a few days. That's why this announcement is so early, because I will have little time after I get to play Chapter 5.

It isn't the most well kept secret that I believe Deltarune to be the best game ever created, and that is a hill I will die on, so rest assured, I will be playing this chapter on release and for days after. It's just one of those perfect games in a lot of ways.

Oh yeah, there will also be a presentation on this update before it releases. It will also be in that last window of July.
