In a new FAQ on Deltarune‘s Steam page, Toby Fox has revealed that he is aiming to release Deltarune Chapter 6 in 2027. The announcement comes just a few days after the release of Chapter 5.
In response to the frequently-asked question of “…When’s Chapter 6?” Fox responds with, “We are aiming for a 2027 release! Meanwhile, we will be periodically releasing information on the development progress of the game.” Additionally, in a recent newsletter, Toby Fox offered more updates on the future of Deltarune:
Chapter 6 is developing well.
-
- Cutscenes / NPC interactions: Making good progress.
- Overworld gameplay: We’ve created all the basic gimmicks of the chapter. (Gimmick = climbing, puzzles, etc.) Now, we need to create a few more rooms utilizing these gimmicks.
- Normal enemies & bullets: Mostly complete.
- Boss & bullets: We are working on the bullets of the last battle of the chapter.
This Chapter is easier to make than the others, so the development is going quite fast.
This sounds crazy, but it’s not unrealistic that some staff members may start working on Chapter 7 before the end of the year.
It is unknown whether or not Deltarune Chapter 6 will release on its own, similarly to Chapter 5, or release alongside Chapter 7, similar to the release of Chapters 1-4. Toby Fox will likely reveal more details about the future of the series in the coming months. In the meantime, Deltarune Chapters 1-4 are available now for $24.99 on Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, PC, and Mac. Chapter 5 is also available now, via a free update on all of the aforementioned platforms.
