Overview
- Owners of Deltarune will be able to download and play Chapter 5 in full on 24 June as a free update, Fox announced during the Nintendo Direct and in his newsletter.
- Fox reported that Chapter 6 is “developing well” and listed concrete progress on cutscenes and NPC interactions, overworld gimmicks, normal enemies and bullets, and work on the chapter’s final boss bullets.
- He said Chapter 6 has been easier to make than earlier instalments, which is helping the team move faster through core systems and content.
- Fox noted it is possible some staff may begin work on Chapter 7 before year-end, but reporters stress that this staffing note does not guarantee a 2026 release for Chapter 6.
- Deltarune has released episodically with long gaps in the past, so while current momentum could shorten waits, estimates that the series will finish by 2027–2028 remain speculative and depend on continued smooth development.
