Deltarune Chapter 5 Is Live: Switch Support, Secret Boss, and Weird Route Details

Deltarune Chapter 5 has officially launched, bringing Toby Fox's beloved RPG sequel to Nintendo Switch 1 and Switch 2 following its announcement at a recent Nintendo Direct. The release marks a major milestone for the long-awaited project, with players already diving deep into its secrets — including a mysterious "Weird Route," a hidden secret boss unlocked via the Mystery Key, and a dramatic moral choice involving a character named Yellow and the ominously named Hyper Punishment gun.

The launch hasn't been entirely smooth, however. Nintendo Life flagged a crash issue affecting the Switch versions at release, though a hotfix was swiftly submitted to consoles. Despite the technical hiccup, the community has wasted no time dissecting every corner of the new chapter, with guides already surfacing for some of its most cryptic and challenging content — a testament to just how eagerly fans have been awaiting this installment.
