Work continues on Deltarune, and creator Toby Fox provided an update on Chapter 6 today.
In case you missed the news, fans won’t have to wait long to experience the next part of the game. Chapter 5 was featured in the Nintendo Direct presentation today and we learned that it’s coming out later in the month.
In a newsletter, Fox touched on Chapter 5 and also talked about Chapter 6. The good news is is that for Chapter 6, things are going well. Some members of the team may even begin start work on Chapter 7 before the end of 2026.
Here’s the full report:
Chapter 5
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?
…
In my opinion, it fits well in the overall story of the game.
Chapter 6 Progress Update
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.
We have the full report on Deltarune Chapter 5 here for those that missed today’s Nintendo Direct.
