Chapter 7

From Deltarune Wiki

Deltarune Chapter 7, subtitle unknown, is the upcoming seventh and final Chapter of Deltarune,[1] set to release as a free update to the full game.[2] No release date is currently known.

Release

Chapter 7 will be immediately available to all existing owners of the paid version of Deltarune as a free update upon its release. It will also be available by default in all copies of the game bought after its release.

Story teasers

  • During the fight with the Hammer of Justice in Chapter 4, he recounts that Lord of the Hammer's seventh installment was never written,[3] as "The story, it became so grand, so overwhelming, Some say it swallowed up the author himself. The ones who could write the next, the youth, the pen was lying there for them to pick up. To make the next page. ...they never did.". It is likely that this is meant to parallel Chapter 7.
  • The Weird Route will likely be continued and resolved following a skip of Chapter 6, per the ending screen of Chapter 5's Weird Route.
  • This chapter is implied to not have certain recurring features that all appeared in each of the first five Chapters:
    • Chapter 7 may lack a Shadow Crystal boss and Egg.[4][5][6]
    • The Chapter might also lack an appearance from the Original Starwalker, due to his "final Starwalker" transformation and dialogue in Chapter 5.
    • When eating Chapter 5's moss after gaining the previous moss title, Kris's title changes to "Last Moss - A moss liker's final form", indicating there may be no moss to be consumed this chapter.
  • The vendor track Shop 3, which currently only plays for Pink's shop, is implied to play once again in this Chapter and/or Chapter 6, as Toby Fox described the song as being used for "most of the remaining shopkeepers in the game", in the Winter 2025 Newsletter.[7]
  • Synthesis, Amphitheater, and to a slightly lesser extent Roots and Flashback, are implied to be titles for Chapter 7 or 6 music tracks; all four are words that can appear in Bibliox ACTs, the rest are song titles. Roots and Flashback possibly refer to BIT ROOTS/Digital Roots and Flashback, though upcoming songs with those exact titles are plausible. Amphitheater is also the name of a 2012 Toby Fox song posted alongside early Man tracks.
  • A non-piano version of kris_piano_last_prophecy is likely to play in this Chapter or Chapter 6; all other Chapter 4 piano songs, with the exception of the generic kris_piano_sevenfour, align with in-game tracks. The context may be related to the final panel of the Prophecy.

Development history

In the DELTARUNE Chapter 5 Release Date Announcement newsletter, released on June 9, 2026, Toby Fox said that it is "not unrealistic" that some of the development team will start working on Chapter 7 before the end of 2026.[8]

    Gigi: Your live script readings were mentioned in a previous DR team interview, I believe. Well, you read through the story outline for me and a few others some time ago. I think I was pretty quiet through most of it, but one particular moment made me roar “YEAAAH!” like I’d been possessed by a demon. So, probably that moment.
