When will Deltarune Chapter 5 and 6 arrive?

Deltarune’s next chapters: Chapter 5 ships, Chapter 6 keeps moving

Toby Fox has laid out the immediate roadmap for Deltarune after progress updates for later chapters.

Chapter 5 release

Multiple reports agree that Deltarune Chapter 5 is scheduled to release on 24 June 2026 on Switch 1 and Switch 2. The announcement also frames Chapter 5 as part of the game’s ongoing episodic rollout, with fans getting a clearer timeline than earlier waits.

Chapter 6 progress

Fox followed the Chapter 5 news with a development update focused on Chapter 6. He said the chapter is “developing well” and that its creation is moving faster than prior chapters.

Chapter 7 may start soon

In the same update, Fox indicated that work on Chapter 7 may begin “before the end of the year.” That matters because it suggests a tighter development cadence than the long gaps players have become used to, and it reinforces the sense that the team has momentum going into the next set of episodes.

Why this matters

Getting specific dates for Chapter 5 and then hearing that Chapter 6 is progressing, with Chapter 7 potentially starting within the year, helps Deltarune’s audience plan around releases rather than waiting in uncertainty.

Quick timeline

• 24 June 2026: Chapter 5 launches on Switch and Switch 2
• Now through 2026: Chapter 6 development continues (“developing well”)
• Before end of 2026 (possible): Chapter 7 could enter development

That combination of a confirmed next drop plus forward-looking production plans is the biggest signal fans have received about how quickly the later chapters could come together.
