Deltarune Chapter 5 Release Date Set for June 2026, Toby Fox Provides Chapter 6 Update

Deltarune Chapter 5 is slated for release on June 24, 2026, marking the fifth major update for the parallel story RPG. The release date was announced during the June 2026 Nintendo Direct event.

The game will be accessible on multiple platforms, including PC, Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5. The announcement was accompanied by a 46-second trailer, which creator Toby Fox indicated was designed to offer a glimpse without revealing too much prior to the full launch.

Following its appearance at the Nintendo Direct, Toby Fox utilized his newsletter to provide additional details. He confirmed that artist Everdraed created the trailer, with music performed and arranged by Carlos "insaneintherain" Eiene. Animator and developer Temmie Chang contributed the art featured at the conclusion of the trailer.

Fox described Deltarune Chapter 5, stating, "In Chapter 4, we saw dark clouds on the horizon… That’s why, let’s not look there for now. Let’s turn around and watch the sun, before it goes down completely. Let’s smile again. Let’s have one more fun adventure, okay?" He added that he believes it "fits well in the overall story of the game."

Regarding Chapter 6, Fox reported that development is "developing well." He highlighted good progress in areas such as cutscenes and NPC interactions. Fox also suggested that "this Chapter is easier to make than the others, so the development is going quite fast." He further indicated that it is not unrealistic for some staff members to begin working on Chapter 7 before the end of the year.

According to IGN, the wait for the seventh and final chapter might not be as extended as some anticipated, given the progress on Chapter 6.
