Overview
- The full Chapter 5 update will be available worldwide on June 24, 2026, as a free download for owners of the paid Deltarune base game on Switch, Switch 2, PlayStation and PC.
- Fox intentionally kept the Chapter 5 trailer spoiler-free to preserve surprises for first-time players and encouraged experiencing the new content unspoiled.
- In a June 9 newsletter, Fox reported concrete progress on Chapter 6, saying cutscenes and NPC interactions are making good progress, overworld gimmicks are built, normal enemies are mostly complete, and work continues on the final boss bullets.
- Fox described Chapter 6 as easier to make than earlier chapters and said this has sped development, with a note that some staff may begin work on Chapter 7 before the end of the year.
- Media outlets have suggested—based on the faster reported pace—that the series could finish sooner than past gaps implied, with speculative completion windows of 2027–2028, but no release dates for Chapters 6 or 7 have been announced.
