Deltarune Chapter 5 is set to release on June 24 as a free update for all platforms for owners of the game, following an official announcement during today’s Nintendo Direct.

Chapter 5 marks the fifth of seven planned chapters, continuing the rapid release pace and signaling ongoing development with Chapter 6 already in progress.

The chapter promises the game’s signature humor and heartfelt storytelling as players are invited to explore a mysterious world.

Temmie Chang contributed to the teaser through animation and art, underscoring the collaboration behind the trailer.

Deltarune remains a parallel story to Undertale, sharing characters and universe but existing in its own continuity, featuring a three-layer battle system with a command phase, a bullet-hell defense phase, and a TP economy.

Steam page highlights include a broad soundtrack, new and familiar characters, expressive pixel art, chapter-based progression, bullet-dodging combat, hidden bosses like Jevil, and a single ending.

There is anticipation that some staff may begin work on Chapter 7 before year’s end, suggesting potentially shorter waits for future chapters.

The trailer and coverage reflect the game’s distinctive mix of humor, action, and whimsical battles.

Gameplay features action-packed battles with choices to fight or spare, shaping the story’s outcome.

The author likens the ongoing narrative to Kentucky Route Zero, highlighting community-driven storytelling and commits to playing Deltarune on release day.

Toby Fox teased Chapter 5 as shifting the mood from Chapter 4 toward brighter moments and a fun new adventure.
