Spring Announcement On Its Way?

So, Toby’s gone a bit radio silent on BlueSky lately. Given the progress of Chapters 3 & 4, some are thinking he’s gearing up for something. In fact, I believe that he may prepping an announcement for tomorrow, March 20.

What makes me say this? Well, in the last newsletter, Toby included an image of the Annoying Dog frozen in ice. From within the ice the Annoying Dog could be heard discussing the development of Chapters 3 & 4, stating that they are “frozen… waiting to be released.” Toby followed this up by stating that the dog would eventually be thawed out.

Given that this was the Holiday 2024 Newsletter, it’s not exactly much of a stretch to conclude that the ice is representative of winter as a whole. Thus, the ice thawing would be indicative of the arrival of spring. And according to the calendar, spring officially starts on March 20.

Furthermore, Toby recently began a 90% off sale for UNDERTALE on Steam, which allowed it to reach its largest concurrent player amount since its release—a pretty big milestone. And it just so happens that this sale is set to end on March 20.

Now, given that tomorrow is a Thursday, something big like a trailer and/or release date might seem unusual to schedule for such a day. However, I could see Toby posting something informing the fandom to “stay tuned,” then saving the actual announcement for the following Friday.

For example, that TV on one of the pages from the Spamton Sweepstakes is still off. He could easily post something cryptic tomorrow like “somewhere, you heard a TV turn on” and secretly change the image to static. Then on Friday, it could fully turn on and link to the release trailer.

I could be completely off the mark with this one, and it’s only a matter of time if I am. But what do you guys think?
