Toby Fox has shared an incredibly brief update about the ongoing development of his latest game Deltarune.
In a post on social media, he mentioned how he's working on Chapter 5 "every day" and "was planning on" having the next newsletter for the game out by "late December".
"Working on Ch5 every day. Was planning on having the next newsletter in late December"
An update from Fox earlier this year in August mentioned how Chapter 4 was "basically playable minus some polish" and at the time, he also mentioned how the initial development of Chapter 5 was "progressing steadily".
So it seems all the focus is on Chapter 5 now. Here's what he had to say about the "release schedule" for Deltarune in the same August update:
"With the progress on Chapter 5, I’m feeling confident that once Chapter 3 and 4 come out, the release schedule for the following chapters will be a lot smoother!! It’s still going to take a good while to get there, but once we do, you’ll never have to wait so long for a Chapter ever again!"
Many fans are now trying to guess when the next Deltarune chapters and newsletter might be released. Here are a handful of thoughts and theories from a thread on the Deltarune subreddit:
"honestly the way i see it is that if the next newsletter comes out that late, it might honestly just be the release date newsletter"
"*inhales copium and puts on tinfoil hat* WELL WELL WELL..... he wrote "WAS planning....", that means things changed so..... Buckle up everyone, Halloween it is! *deranged laughing*"
"It's really Sad , unfortunately if the newsletter for December so yeah no chapter this year , Hoping that at least we will get chapter 5 and the other more quickly as promised by toby"
Do you think we'll see Deltarune's next chapters or see a release date for them any time soon? Leave your thoughts in the comments.

Wait, what about chapter 3?
I like many am waiting for the whole thing. I do think he ought to take his time though!
Looking forward to the soundtracks. The games, eh. Maybe someday he'll make something that gives me any impression beyond entirely plainly okay.
@shiftbarackyeaugh 3 and 4 are being polished at the current. They’re probably releasing those two next year. It’ll be a paid release of the game containing chapters 1-4, and chapters 5-7 will be added down the line as updates I believe.
Made it to chapter 2 but never finished it.
It didn't capture my interests as Undertale did.
Loved undertale and the chapters that are already out so definitely looking forward to the full game
3&4 are stuck waiting on GameMaker to patch their new game swap feature, so Toby doesn't have his usual level of control over when they drop. Given the public play test of the updated 1+2 hasn't happened yet, don't expect a shadow drop
At least take weekends off...
@shiftbarackyeaugh I recall hearing he wanted to release everything in bulk
@Arkay this is like the meme of the guy mining and stopping right before a bunch of diamonds
@Arkay I made it through Chapter 2, I like the gameplay but I dislike a lot of the characters.
It feels like you've seen some of the characters for minutes. Then they attempt an emotional crescendo for these characters you've barely grown attached too.
Is it really impossible for him to hire at least a few other people to help develop the game any faster...?
I liked but did not love Deltarune chapters 1 and 2.
I don't really like the episodic approach, and feel that a single game could probably hit harder. As episodes, quite a bit of the characters and story are segmented away and can't build as well as in a single story.
Love to hear it, looking forward to Chapter 3 and 4 in the meantime whenever they're ready for release!
It's coming when it's coming, I still have a great feeling about it though! 🤎
@Rockety he should have done a better job at grabbing my attention then 🤷🏾♂️
I think if he released the whole thing would have been better instead of being episodic
Patience is a virtue I often find myself lacking these days, but for this I will make an exception.
Toby Fox has some of the most deplorable content imaginable. So deplorable, I can't even say the full name without being struck off this website. For now, we can just call it "Cheese Pizza" as a euphemism.
