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.
