Toby Fox Announces Deltarune Chapter 5 Release June 24 2026

The next chapter of the acclaimed indie RPG Deltarune will launch on June 24, 2026, developer Toby Fox announced during a Nintendo Direct presentation on June 9. The release of Chapter 5 will be a free update for players who already own the game on Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC.

Alongside the release date confirmation, Fox provided substantial updates on the development of the game's final two chapters in an email newsletter. He stated that work on Chapter 6 is progressing quickly, noting it is easier to develop than previous chapters. According to the developer, the story-based segments and gameplay gimmicks for Chapter 6 are largely complete, with standard enemy encounters mostly finished. Work continues on a boss and its bullet patterns, as well as adding more locations for the new gimmicks.

Fox also addressed the yet-to-begin development of the final chapter, Chapter 7. He indicated it is not unrealistic that some staff members could start preliminary work on that chapter before the end of 2026. Both Chapters 6 and 7 will also be released as free updates. Fox promised another newsletter update on June 24, coinciding with the launch of Chapter 5.
