Fans of Toby Fox’s beloved indie series can now look forward to a definitive timeline, as Deltarune’s next chapter is slated for a 2027 release, while the current Chapter 5 has already seen a surge in simultaneous players on Steam.
The game’s Steam storefront has been refreshed with a fresh FAQ section, offering new insights into the forthcoming installment.
According to the FAQ, the developers are targeting a 2027 launch for Chapter 6, and they will periodically share updates on the game’s development progress.
It remains clear that Chapter 5 is not the series finale, and the FAQ hints that the narrative will continue with additional chapters released at no extra cost over time.
On June 24, 2026, Deltarune Chapter 5 launched, and SteamDB reports an astonishing peak of 291,816 concurrent players—more than double the 133,920 players that flooded the title at launch. That figure excludes console audiences, suggesting the actual simultaneous player base is even larger.
Toby Fox’s earlier masterpiece, Undertale, once held a cult following but only peaked at 11,071 concurrent players during a sale. The current numbers for Deltarune point to an even larger commercial triumph.
Despite remaining unfinished, Deltarune boasts a Metacritic metascore of 86 and a user rating of 9.0, underscoring universal acclaim.
