Indie developer tobyfox has announced DELTARUNE Chapter 5 is finally launching this month.
DELTARUNE Chapter 5 is set to launch later this month for all platforms on June 24th at 11 AM Eastern, on PC (Steam), Switch, Switch 2, PS4, and PS5.
The new chapter comes roughly a year after the previous two chapters 3 and 4 launched. The game’s new Chapter 6 was also teased in a progress update.
Here’s a rundown on the new details, plus a trailer:
What Kind of Chapter is Chapter 5?
In Chapter 4, we saw dark clouds on the horizon…
That’s why, let’s not look there for now. Let’s turn around and watch the sun, before it goes down completely.
Let’s smile again.
Let’s have one more fun adventure, okay?
…
In my opinion, it fits well in the overall story of the game.
Chapter 6 Progress update
Chapter 6 is developing well.
- Cutscenes / NPC interactions: Making good progress.
- Overworld gameplay: We’ve created all the basic gimmicks of the chapter. (Gimmick = climbing, puzzles, etc.) Now, we need to create a few more rooms utilizing these gimmicks.
- Normal enemies & bullets: Mostly complete.
- Boss & bullets: We are working on the bullets of the last battle of the chapter.
This Chapter is easier to make than the others, so the development is going quite fast.
This sounds crazy, but it’s not unrealistic that some staff members may start working on Chapter 7 before the end of the year.
