Toby Fox Shares New Development Update On Deltarune Chapter 6
Deltarune developer Toby Fox has provided a development update on Chapter 6 following the announcement that Chapter 5 will release on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 on June 24, 2026.
In his latest newsletter, Fox reported that Chapter 6 is “developing well” and has actually proven easier to develop than previous chapters. The positive progress on Chapter 6 is accelerating plans for Chapter 7, which could potentially enter development before the end of 2026.
According to the update, the development team has made strong progress on Chapter 6’s cutscenes and NPC interactions. For the overworld gameplay, the team has completed all the basic gimmicks—including climbing mechanics and puzzles—and is now focused on creating additional rooms that utilize these established gimmicks.
The news reflects encouraging momentum for Deltarune fans following the game’s episodic release structure. With Chapter 5 arriving on Nintendo platforms next month and Chapter 6 development proceeding ahead of schedule, the franchise appears positioned for continued regular releases. The potential timeline for Chapter 7 development suggests developer Toby Fox and his team may maintain this accelerated pace going forward.
