Following the release date reveal for Deltarune Chapter 5, Toby Fox sent out an email newsletter with updates on Chapters 6 and 7 too. In the case of the former, the developer noted “development is going quite fast.” With the latter, there’s a possibility that work might start on it before 2027 ends. Fox also promised another newsletter will appear on June 24, 2026.
When it comes to work on Deltarune Chapter 6, Fox said it is “easier to make than the others” and went over specific areas of it. The update noted that progress on the story-based segments is going good. It mentioned the gimmicks are done, but a few more places are being added where we’ll see them. Both the boss and its bullet patterns and standard encounters are still being finished up, though the regular fights are “mostly complete.”
Deltarune Chapter 7 development hasn’t started yet. Fox did note, “This sounds crazy, but it’s not unrealistic that some staff members may start working on Chapter 7 before the end of the year.” Chapters 5-7 will all be free updates for folks who buy the game.
The Deltarune Chapter 5 release date is set for June 24, 2026, and chapters 1-4 are available now on the Switch, Switch 2, PS4, PS5, and PC.
