Toby Fox has announced that most of the development team for Deltarune has made progress on the production of Chapter 5, suggesting that its release could be closer than previously thought. In a recent statement, Fox revealed that formal testing of the game will begin on April 1, and that the professional testing team is already getting familiar with the title. Additionally, the quality assurance for the Japanese translation is expected to be completed in April.
Deltarune continues to dominate
However, the development team has moved “beyond” Chapter 5, which has led to speculation about the future of the saga, especially the form that Chapter 6 will take. Although fans show great interest in this next chapter, Fox has avoided direct mention of it, which has raised more questions about what could happen in the game’s narrative. A fan commented on social media that the way Fox uses terms like “moving from Chapter 5” instead of “moving to Chapter 6” suggests that the latter chapter will be decisive for the story.
The Deltarune series began in 2018 with the release of the first chapter, followed by the second in 2021. The releases of Chapters 3 and 4 occurred simultaneously last year. Some fans believe that if Chapter 5 is released this year, the pace of releases could accelerate even further. This possibility has generated a high level of anticipation within the community, which is debating the impact that Chapter 5 will have on the overall plot.
For now, the uncertainties about Chapter 6 remain, and the emphasis on the development of Chapter 5 seems to be a fundamental piece of the narrative puzzle that Fox has been building. Meanwhile, players eagerly await to discover what surprises this next chapter will bring them.
