Leave a comment

Toby Fox’s Deltarune Chapter 5: The Field of Pink and Gold is arriving tonight at 11pm SGT (11am EDT) — a free update for anyone who owns the existing Chapter 1–4 bundle. Singapore Switch 2 owners, clear some time this evening.

Free for Owners Across Switch, Switch 2, PS5, and PC

Chapter 5 is a free update for players who have already purchased the Chapters 1–4 bundle, priced at USD$24.99 (check your regional storefront for local SGD pricing). The update rolls out automatically on:

  • Nintendo Switch & Nintendo Switch 2
  • PlayStation 4 & PlayStation 5
  • PC (Windows) and Mac

It is worth noting that Deltarune Chapters 1 and 2 have always been free to download separately on PC and Mac — so if you’ve been putting off trying the game, tonight is a genuinely good entry point before Chapter 5 adds even more story to catch up on.

What We Know About Chapter 5

Toby Fox has kept the specifics close to his chest. The Nintendo Direct reveal on 9 June gave us a glimpse of Kris, Susie, and Ralsei back in action — tackling new battles and exploring what looks like a temple setting. The new trailer showed an emotional moment where Ralsei enthusiastically declares his feelings for Susie in his characteristically endearing style, alongside a handful of new adversaries and returning faces. Nothing about the chapter title, “The Field of Pink and Gold,” has been explained — which is exactly how Toby Fox likes it.

Deltarune follows Kris in a parallel world called the Dark World, where they team up with classmate Susie and a mysterious being named Ralsei. Chapters 1 and 2 were released back in 2021, with Chapters 3 and 4 arriving together in 2024. The game is a spiritual successor to Undertale and shares its signature blend of RPG combat and emotionally charged storytelling.

Chapter 6 Is Already Ahead of Schedule

Toby Fox has confirmed that development on Chapter 6 is well ahead of where Chapter 5 was at the same stage. Work on Chapter 7 is reportedly set to begin before the end of 2026. That kind of momentum is a significant signal that the series is accelerating towards its conclusion — a pleasant contrast to the multi-year gaps between earlier chapters.

Last Words

For Singapore gamers, Chapter 5 hits tonight at 11pm SGT. If you’re on Nintendo Switch 2, it’s already in your library — just check the eShop for the update. If you’re on Steam or PSN Asia, expect it to appear right around midnight. Deltarune has been one of the most carefully crafted indie RPGs of the past decade, and “The Field of Pink and Gold” finally gets to tell us what happens next. Don’t stay up too late. Or do.

Deltarune Chapter 5 Drops 24 June — Free Update for Existing Players

Leave a comment

Toby Fox’s beloved indie RPG is about to get its most-anticipated update yet: Deltarune Chapter 5 launches this Wednesday, June 24 — simultaneously worldwide on Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam. If you already own Chapters 1 through 4, the new chapter is a free update.

When can Singapore players get Deltarune Chapter 5?

The chapter drops at 11:00 PM SGT on Wednesday, June 24 (11:00 AM EDT / 3:00 PM UTC) — so Wednesday night is your window. The release is simultaneous on all platforms worldwide, which means no waiting for a regional rollout. Hit update on Steam, Nintendo eShop, or PlayStation Store at 11 PM and you’re in.

New to Deltarune entirely? The full package — Chapters 1 through 5 — is priced at USD$24.99 on all platforms. Check your regional store for local pricing.

What is Deltarune?

If you missed it: Deltarune is a free-to-play-then-paid RPG from Toby Fox, the one-man genius behind Undertale. It’s technically a parallel story to Undertale, featuring a cast of new and returning characters — including the reserved Kris, the brash Susie, and the endearing Ralsei — who dive into mysterious Dark Worlds to seal dangerous Dark Fountains threatening their town.

The game is known for its sharp writing, memorable music (entirely composed by Fox), and a battle system that rewards creative choices over raw power. Chapters 1 and 2 were released free in 2018 and 2021 respectively; Chapters 3 and 4 landed together in mid-2025 as part of the paid package. Chapter 5 follows roughly a year later — faster than many fans expected.

What to expect from Chapter 5

Fox has been deliberately tight-lipped about spoilers — and intentionally so. In his official newsletter announcing the release date, he wrote: “I want to surprise people playing the Chapter for the first time, so I avoided showing the most exciting moments.”

What he did share hints at a tonal shift from the increasingly dark Chapter 4. Addressing the story’s gathering storm, Fox said: “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?”

GamesRadar reports the chapter carries the subtitle The Field of Pink and Gold, suggesting a warmer, more colourful adventure before the inevitable reckoning the story has been building toward. As Fox himself put it: “In my opinion, it fits well in the overall story of the game.”

Chapter 6 and 7: the road ahead

Deltarune is a seven-chapter project, and the good news is that Fox’s team is already deep into Chapter 6 development. From the same newsletter, here’s where things stand:

  • Cutscenes / NPC interactions: Making good progress
  • Overworld gameplay: All the basic gimmicks of the chapter are created
  • Normal enemies & bullets: Mostly complete
  • Boss & bullets: Working on the final battle’s bullet patterns

Fox noted that “this Chapter is easier to make than the others, so the development is going quite fast,” adding that “it’s not unrealistic that some staff members may start working on Chapter 7 before the end of the year.” Given that Chapter 7 is the planned final chapter, the end of Deltarune’s journey is now in sight.

Last words

Whether you are a day-one Undertale fan or someone who only just discovered Deltarune through word of mouth, Wednesday night is a great excuse to stay up past 11 PM. The update is free, the game is charming, and after years of waiting it really is nearly here. Singapore players — mark your calendars for June 24, 11 PM SGT.

Leave a comment

Toby Fox’s acclaimed RPG series is adding its next chapter in under a week. Deltarune Chapter 5: The Field of Pink and Gold launches simultaneously worldwide on Wednesday, 24 June 2026 at 11 a.m. EDT — that is 11 p.m. SGT on the same night — and it arrives as a free update for everyone who already owns the game.

One More Adventure Before the Final Act

If Chapter 4 left you feeling unsettled — dark clouds on the horizon and all that — Fox says Chapter 5 is a deliberate tonal shift. In his release-date newsletter he described it as a chance to “turn around and watch the sun, before it goes down completely” and enjoy “one more fun adventure” before the story heads into its closing chapters. The Dark World this time is built around Asgore’s flower shop, Flower King, which explains the floral enemies, the sprawling pink-and-gold colour palette, and the chapter’s subtitle.

Fox also confirmed he deliberately kept the best moments out of the reveal trailer, writing that he “avoided showing the most exciting moments” to preserve first-time surprises. The 46-second Nintendo Direct clip is restrained on purpose — trust that there is more waiting inside.

What Singapore Players Need to Know

The release is simultaneous worldwide, so no region-locking to worry about. Here is the quick breakdown:

  • Release time (SGT): Wednesday, 24 June 2026 at 11 p.m.
  • Platforms: Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PS4, PS5, PC (Windows), Mac
  • Existing owners: Free update — no extra purchase needed
  • New to Deltarune? All five chapters are bundled for USD 24.99 on Steam, the Nintendo eShop, and the PlayStation Store (approximately S$33–35 at current rates; local storefront pricing to be confirmed)
  • Just curious? Chapters 1 and 2 remain free to download on all platforms

What Comes After Chapter 5?

The series is planned as a seven-chapter story, and Fox shared some welcome news on that front: Chapter 6 is already in active development and moving faster than previous chapters, with some staff potentially beginning work on Chapter 7 before the year is out. With Chapter 5 arriving this week, the finish line of one of gaming’s most beloved indie stories is starting to come into view.

Follow our Game News section for updates as Chapter 5 drops next week.

Whether you are a veteran who has replayed Chapters 1 through 4 multiple times or a newcomer who stumbled in through Undertale, the timing here is ideal. Six days out. Mark 24 June in the calendar, Singapore — 11 p.m. is when the flowers bloom.

Deltarune Chapter 5 Drops Free on 24 June — and Chapter 6 Is Already Teased

Leave a comment

Toby Fox just gave Deltarune fans the date they’ve been waiting for: Chapter 5 launches on 24 June 2026 as a completely free update, and the trailer that closed the June 9 Nintendo Direct ended with four words that are already lighting up gaming forums: Chapter 6 is waiting.

What is Deltarune? A quick recap for new players

Deltarune is the follow-up project from Toby Fox, the indie creator behind UNDERTALE — one of the most beloved RPGs of the past decade and, as many Singapore gamers will know, the subject of its own live symphony world tour heading to Singapore in September 2026.

Where UNDERTALE was a standalone story, Deltarune runs as a parallel universe — same characters, different world, deeper mechanics. Chapters 1 and 2 released free back in 2021 and 2022. Chapters 3 and 4 launched alongside Nintendo Switch 2 in 2025. Chapter 5 is the next instalment, arriving as a free update on 24 June.

Deltarune Chapter 5: The Field of Pink and Gold

The official subtitle is The Field of Pink and Gold, and the single-line description from the Direct sets the scene: “The vast garden is charred in an inferno of jealousy.” Toby Fox has seeded floral and garden imagery throughout, with the chapter seemingly drawing on Asgore’s flower shop from the UNDERTALE universe as a thematic backdrop.

The reveal trailer showcases Deltarune’s signature three-layer battle system — strategic command menus layered over real-time bullet-dodge segments, with a TP (Tension Point) economy that rewards near-misses. Kris, Susie, and Ralsei return, and early footage hints at at least one striking new environment. Toby Fox has described Chapter 5 as “funny and heartfelt.”

Free update — how to play on 24 June in Singapore

Chapter 5 will drop as a free update for everyone who already owns Deltarune (Chapters 1–4). If you haven’t picked it up yet, the full package is available on Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, PS4, PS5, PC (Steam/Windows), and Mac at US$24.99 on supported storefronts — check your platform’s local Singapore listing for the exact SGD price.

For Singapore players, the global launch hits at 11 pm SGT on 24 June (11 am EDT / midnight JST). That means you can fire up the patch before midnight or wake up to it on the morning of 25 June. All platforms update simultaneously worldwide.

Chapter 6 is already in development

The final frame of the Chapter 5 trailer carried a single line: Chapter 6 is waiting. Toby Fox has confirmed development is underway and described Chapter 6 as “easier to make than the others,” with the team potentially starting Chapter 7 before the end of 2026. Fox’s shareware-style philosophy means future chapters — including 6 and 7 — will release free to existing owners, just as Chapter 5 is doing now.

Last words

June is shaping up to be a big month for the UNDERTALE and Deltarune community in Singapore. The UNDERTALE: The Determination Symphony world tour adds a second Singapore night in September due to overwhelming demand, and now Chapter 5 drops at 11 pm on 24 June — practically a community midnight-launch event. If you haven’t started Deltarune yet, the next two weeks are the perfect window to catch up on Chapters 1–4 before the new chapter lands.
