Toby Fox Says Deltarune Chapter 5 Is Still Months Away — But Progress Is Strong

[cryptobro]

Fans eager for Deltarune Chapter 5 will need a bit more patience. In a new message shared via the game’s Winter 2025 newsletter, creator Toby Fox confirmed the next chapter is still “several months” from release, reinforcing earlier guidance pointing to the first half of 2026.

While the timeline remains broad, Fox struck an optimistic tone. Most of the chapter’s rooms are already complete, scenes are nearly finalized, and remaining battles are fully playable from start to finish. What’s left is largely polish — including refining bullet-hell patterns and pacing for boss fights.

The update signals steady momentum rather than delays, suggesting Chapter 5 is firmly on track, even if the finish line isn’t quite in sight yet.
