Check your regional store for local pricing.<\/p>\n<h2>What is Deltarune?<\/h2>\n<p>If you missed it: Deltarune is a free-to-play-then-paid RPG from <strong>Toby Fox<\/strong>, the one-man genius behind <a href=\"https:\/\/www.undertale.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Undertale<\/a>. It&#8217;s technically a parallel story to Undertale, featuring a cast of new and returning characters \u2014 including the reserved Kris, the brash Susie, and the endearing Ralsei \u2014 who dive into mysterious Dark Worlds to seal dangerous Dark Fountains threatening their town.<\/p>\n<p>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 \u2014 faster than many fans expected.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/deltarune-chapter-5-screenshot.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Deltarune Chapter 5 screenshot\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of Toby Fox<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>What to expect from Chapter 5<\/h2>\n<p>Fox has been deliberately tight-lipped about spoilers \u2014 and intentionally so. In his official newsletter announcing the release date, he wrote: <a href=\"https:\/\/toby.fangamer.com\/newsletters\/ch5-release-date\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;I want to surprise people playing the Chapter for the first time, so I avoided showing the most exciting moments.&#8221;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>What he did share hints at a tonal shift from the increasingly dark Chapter 4. Addressing the story&#8217;s gathering storm, Fox said: &#8220;In Chapter 4, we saw dark clouds on the horizon\u2026 That&#8217;s why, let&#8217;s not look there for now. Let&#8217;s turn around and watch the sun, before it goes down completely. Let&#8217;s smile again. Let&#8217;s have one more fun adventure, okay?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>GamesRadar reports the chapter carries the subtitle <em>The Field of Pink and Gold<\/em>, suggesting a warmer, more colourful adventure before the inevitable reckoning the story has been building toward. As Fox himself put it: &#8220;In my opinion, it fits well in the overall story of the game.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>Chapter 6 and 7: the road ahead<\/h2>\n<p>Deltarune is a seven-chapter project, and the good news is that Fox&#8217;s team is already deep into Chapter 6 development. From the same newsletter, here&#8217;s where things stand:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Cutscenes \/ NPC interactions:<\/strong> Making good progress<\/li>\n<li><strong>Overworld gameplay:<\/strong> All the basic gimmicks of the chapter are created<\/li>\n<li><strong>Normal enemies &amp; bullets:<\/strong> Mostly complete<\/li>\n<li><strong>Boss &amp; bullets:<\/strong> Working on the final battle&#8217;s bullet patterns<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Fox noted that &#8220;this Chapter is easier to make than the others, so the development is going quite fast,&#8221; adding that &#8220;it&#8217;s not unrealistic that some staff members may start working on Chapter 7 before the end of the year.&#8221; Given that Chapter 7 is the planned final chapter, the end of Deltarune&#8217;s journey is now in sight.<\/p>\n<h2>Last words<\/h2>\n<p>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 \u2014 mark your calendars for June 24, 11 PM SGT.
