Developer Toby Fox didn’t give a straight answer.
Undertale was a massive success when it was released in 2015, and many fans hoped to see more of the characters’ stories after the game concluded. So when Toby Fox released DELTARUNE’s first chapter, fans immediately asked if it was a sequel to his previous work.
Is DELTARUNE a sequel?
It should be a simple matter of yes or no, but Toby Fox had a more complicated answer. On the FAQ page of DELTARUNE’s official website, Toby Fox said fans shouldn’t “worry too much about that.”
Несмотря на то, что ДЕЛЬТАРУНА shares a similar aesthetic with Undertale, they don’t take place in the same world. What happens in DELTARUNE’s story won’t affect the characters and the ending you got in Подборка.
Однако это не означает, что игры совершенно не связаны между собой, поскольку Тоби Фокс явно рекламировал игру для тех, кто закончил. Undertale. Хотя правила DELTARUNE’s world might be different from Undertale‘s, the developer still said “that doesn’t mean there will be no connections at all though.”
In the end, Toby Fox is right, and fans should enjoy his new work without getting hung up on his previous game. He was so worried that players would have such high expectations for the next game that anything he’d make would be underwhelming.
Он уже сказал, что не может воспроизвести то же «чувство» Undertale и что ДЕЛЬТАРУНА будет проще в сравнении. Итак, окончательный ответ таков: ДЕЛЬТАРУНА может иметь связь с Undertale, но это игра со своим собственным миром и историей.
