Undertale and Deltarune creator Toby Fox tinkered with Earthbound romhacks very early in his game dev career, and that inimitable, SNES oddness went on to inform the RPG duo that so many fans know and love today. So it's only fitting for a crew of those fans to have spent two years painstakingly rebuilding Chapter 1 of Deltarune inside their own Earthbound romhack, which will be released for free this month.
Chromadeline, one of the eight developers of the upcoming Earthbound romhack Bound to the Dark World, shared the news on Twitter alongside the reveal trailer for the project, which will launch for free on Friday, October 31, for all your Halloween needs. It's apparently been kept under wraps since 2023.
