As big as you make it, the Underground has burst past basements and backrooms into a sprawling, shape-shifting force — scaling with ambition and rewriting the rules above ground.

Undertale just hit the big 1-0, and Toby Fox marked the birthday the most Toby Fox way possible: a charity stream that remixed the Underground in surprising ways and then turned into a thoughtful pep talk about canon, imagination, and what this world can be.

The stream, the charity, the weird new stuff

Fox teamed up with Fangamer for a 10th Anniversary Stream on YouTube benefiting Doctors Without Borders. Alongside the fundraising, fans got a tour of an Underground that didn't entirely match the 2015 game. Think alternate angles rather than DLC: a moody, ruin-heavy stretch that felt unfamiliar, and a strikingly colorful take on Gaster's usually monochrome Mysterious Door. If that last one made your Undertale-lore brain light up, you're not alone.

  • What it was: a charity stream co-hosted by Toby Fox and Fangamer for Doctors Without Borders
  • What we saw: new-feeling areas (including a somber ruin-y zone) and a colorful version of Gaster's famous black-and-white door
  • What it means: these are not game updates; they're a curated "what if" tour of the Underground's possibilities

So, is this new Undertale content? Short answer: no

Fox was clear that the extra bits showcased on stream are not being patched into Undertale. He likes the game exactly as it is. The new areas were framed as a thought experiment, not a retcon.

"All the extra stuff on the stream will not actually be in the game... I like the game as it is now."

"This 'what if' was always there. It never wasn't there and it will never not be there."

The philosophy: your canon is valid

This is where it got very Toby. He talked about the Underground like a living place that keeps going after you put the controller down: monsters with homes and hangouts, food and friends, and a world that stretches past what the screen shows you. The point wasn't to drop a secret you'll never reach; it was to remind you that you're allowed to imagine what's under the bridge or beyond the horizon, and that his answer isn't the only one that counts. He even invited fans to come "behind the wall" with him — not as a lore drop, but as an attitude.

"Every monster has to have a place to go home to... The Underground is a wide place. The only limit to all of this is your imagination."

Bottom line

No, this stream doesn't tease new Undertale content in the traditional sense. But Fox basically stamped "approved" on the idea that your headcanon is as legit as his. For a game that's been obsessed over for a decade, that's kind of huge — and honestly, I'm here for it.
