On the video games side of things, developer Naughty Dog was particularly secretive about the story in The Last of Us: Part II. This reading session took place in a secluded room with an iPad labeled as “code red.”
In the interview in which that fact was revealed, Paul Bettany, who played the character Vision, talked about spending “24 hours reading a script that I was never gonna make” after being handed one of the aforementioned fakes. Spider-Man’s Tom Holland did not get the film’s script during the production of the film, while Iron Man’s Robert Downey Jr. In this particular case, however, the efforts to preserve the biggest surprises were quite drastic, to say the least. Despite the marketing efforts behind the #DontSpoilTheEndgame campaign around Avengers: Endgame in April 2019, numerous people watched leaked material from the movie anyway. Not only are people wary of talking about the buzziest new release before they’ve seen it, but they have another thing to worry about: leaks, which can provide huge info dumps even before an episode has aired, a movie has premiered, or a game has launched. This commitment to spoilers-or, rather, the prevention of them-feels at once unique and in keeping with much of the media’s feelings about keeping story details close to the vest these days.

Yet many of those same loyal fans who heeded his plea to hold off on talking about Deltarune’s first chapter three years before remained committed to keeping initial discussion of the game’s newest part spoiler-free. 17, 2021, when Fox released Deltarune’s second chapter on a moment’s notice, he didn’t repeat the request to keep the story under wraps. At the same time, though, there were also players who did respect Fox’s wish to safeguard Deltarune’s secrets it was only after the 24-hour grace period passed that these fans sent tweets asking Fox their lore questions or shared Reddit posts discussing their theories about Deltarune’s next chapters.
Within hours after the game’s release, players swarmed YouTube with walkthrough videos exposing its story and gameplay. Yet Fox added one specific request on the download page: “For public safety, you are advised to refrain from discussion of the program for 24 hours.” But that’s not how the internet works. The standard reaction to a major surprise release like this is to share excitement about it publicly.
