Toby Fox Comments on Deltarune Chapter 5 Release Date

by

Toby Fox has announced that the next chapter of Deltarune, the sequel to the popular game Undertale, will be released sometime in 2026. Fans have been eagerly awaiting updates, and Fox has been gradually sharing details about the game’s progress. The first two chapters of Deltarune were very popular on Steam, attracting more players than Undertale, and the physical release quickly became the best-selling digital game on the new Nintendo Switch 2 console.

After the release of the paid version of Deltarune, Toby Fox announced that the remaining parts of the game will be released as free updates. The complete game is planned to have seven chapters, and there have typically been several years between each chapter’s release. The paid version included the first four chapters, and the ending of Chapter 4 suggested that Chapter 5 would be available in 2026. Toby Fox has now confirmed that fans won’t have to wait much longer for the fifth chapter to come out.

Deltarune Chapter 5 is Coming in 2026

Toby Fox recently updated fans on the progress of Deltarune Chapter 5, confirming it’s still planned for release in 2026. In a New Year’s message on Twitter, Fox revealed that translation work is already underway, even sharing a sneak peek at some dialogue. He previously mentioned in December that the chapter is still several months from release, as localization and testing are still needed before it’s ready.

Okay, so Toby Fox dropped a little hint about the translation for the next chapter of Deltarune, and it’s got me SO excited! It sounds like we’re finally going to learn more about those mysterious Shadow Crystals you get for beating the secret bosses. I’ve always been fascinated by those! And it seems like Seam will be a big part of explaining all that lore, which makes sense considering he’s connected to the boss rewards. But the best part? It looks like the Annoying Dog is coming back, and apparently, we might even be able to use him in battle! Seriously, who wouldn’t want that?!

Toby Fox is Already Looking Ahead to Future Deltarune Chapters

Recent updates from Toby Fox about the game Deltarune have given fans a glimpse of what’s coming next. In a December update, Fox said that most of the development team will probably start working on Chapter 6 in a few months. He also mentioned back in September that one developer had already begun early work on a new enemy’s attack patterns. With Chapter 5 currently planned for release in 2026, fans shouldn’t expect Chapter 6 to be available until 2027, at the earliest.

Toby Fox has become a major figure in indie gaming, and his success with Deltarune continues to build on the acclaim Undertale originally received. Both games are considered among the best indie titles ever made. This popularity led to a unique opportunity: Toby Fox composed music for Nintendo games like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Pokemon Sword and Shield‘s DLC, and Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. With each new release, Toby Fox’s influence grows, and fans eagerly await the next chapters of Deltarune, which promise to be just as impactful.
