I doubt Toby will ever make a sequel to Undertale, for this simple reason:
Spoiler:
in his battle, sans says he stopped caring about going to the surface because he knows that even if they manage to get there and live happily ever after, sooner or later you will reset the timeline and undo everything
a sequel would completely ruin that little piece of brilliant fridge horror

Imagine playing as Chara, being a nice kid, eventually growing bored after enough resets, becoming the worst bastard in the Underground...and, as is par for the course for Undertale bastardry, you're gonna have a bad time at the end.
I don't think we'll ever see any other game set in the Undertale universe and I don't want there to be one either, the game is entirely encapsulated already any I think any other foray into its past or future would only diminish it.
The one think you can look forward to though is a kickstarter stretch goal that promised some comic strips set at some point in Undertale, which should appear eventually.
If you get into the SUPER SECRET room before Snowdin you can try to fight the Annoying Dog but it says that the rug he's resting on has some holes and needs to be PATCHED before you can fight him.
So maybe we'll get some extra content?

big-ass spoilers intermingled with some theorycrafting
Spoiler:
as much as that comic is a shot in the feels... Sans' reaction would probably not be that extreme
Sans is aware that someone's been resetting the timeline over and over. that's why he is so lethargic over the course of the game, and combined with his promise to toriel it's why he won't fight you in neutral even if you kill papyrus. he knows that you can just reset anything he does anyway.
the only reason why he fights you in real genocide is because he's up to some level aware that you're about to make an irreversible mistake, and he tries to make the fight as hard and obnoxious as possible to make you ragequit.

Which is an ironic shame for him, as several people do the genocide run purely because they want to fight Sans.
Although that does still neatly tie into the "do you really need to experience everything?" message.

Spoiler:
Exactly how much knowledge he actually has about the resets is not really known. He says they (meaning others are aware to some degree) are aware that "somebody" is messing with the timelines, but he doesn't actually know anything about Frisk or Chara on a direct level outside of whatever the active timeline is. That's why every interaction with them is just "a human" or "the human" or something otherwise vague. He does mention that any resolution is ultimately futile due to the infinite resets but I don't doubt that within any given timeline, he would at least be worried that his brother was doing something that cosmically stupid. He's lethargic, but he is also nearly omnipresent when his brother is involved. He knows a lot of shortcuts, you see.
I could probably do better speculation in a few hours. Wrote this after getting out of bed and checking my email.

tons of spoilers for one of the most obscure secrets in UNDERTALE - W.D. Gaster
Spoiler:
there are several hints that W.D. Gaster is related to Sans, and might even be who Sans refers to when he says "our reports" in his battle
the only way you can find out that W.D. Gaster even exists (or rather past tense, existed) is through EXTREMELY rare events that can happen during a normal playthrough, but you are better off messing with the game files if you really want to see them. several of those events are gray versions of certain character sprites that, when talked to, will tell you that W.D. Gaster was the royal scientist before Alphys, and he accidentally managed to scatter himself across the space-time continuum, more or less removing him from existence but leaving tiny snippers of himself all over the place.
much like Chara refers to powergamers and completionists, W.D. Gaster is a reference to "dummied out" content, in other words content that was removed from the game but not completely wiped, leaving little references
another one of Gaster's events has your screen fill with wingdings that, when translated, form the missing 17th log from the True Lab. wingdings is one of the "obnoxious fonts", like comic sans and papyrus. so W(ing)D(ings) Gaster may be his full name which also means Sans' and Papyrus' last name is Gaster as well
finally, the sprites for the skulls that fire beams at you in Sans' battle are called Gaster Blaster, and look very much like the Determination Extractor in the True Lab which probably belonged to W.D. Gaster before Alphys

There's a big goat skull motif throughout the game actually.
That extractor, Sans' laser attacks, Giga Flowey's face, and Asriel's ultimate attack of which I forget the name all summon split-jawed goat skulls. Gyftrot's head also looks pretty similar but, that probably doesn't mean anything.
Granted it makes most sense for Asriel, because his head does actually contain a goat's skull.

Spoiler:
The rabbit hole goes a little deeper when you find Sans's lab in Snowdin. It takes a lot of work to actually unlock since it requires at least 3 (or was it 4) no-kill runs. After this, Sans gives you a key to see what's in his room. In his room, there's another key which opens the lab. Inside the lab is an unfinished machine with a cloth over it (that you can't remove), several sets of blueprints for machines that you cant' comprehend, a photo with Sans, Frisk, and some others you don't recognize, and a badge of some sort. The description for the badge gives you actual indication as to what it actually is.
Either Sans is putting you on, or there's something else there.
Also, it's curious that the Gaster Blaster skulls resemble Alphys' head at least a little.
Spoiler:
She built the one in the lab, but she got the blueprints for it from somewhere else

I could probably do better speculation in a few hours. Wrote this after getting out of bed and checking my email.
tons of spoilers for one of the most obscure secrets in UNDERTALE - W.D. Gaster
Spoiler:
there are several hints that W.D. Gaster is related to Sans, and might even be who Sans refers to when he says "our reports" in his battle
the only way you can find out that W.D. Gaster even exists (or rather past tense, existed) is through EXTREMELY rare events that can happen during a normal playthrough, but you are better off messing with the game files if you really want to see them. several of those events are gray versions of certain character sprites that, when talked to, will tell you that W.D. Gaster was the royal scientist before Alphys, and he accidentally managed to scatter himself across the space-time continuum, more or less removing him from existence but leaving tiny snippers of himself all over the place.
much like Chara refers to powergamers and completionists, W.D. Gaster is a reference to "dummied out" content, in other words content that was removed from the game but not completely wiped, leaving little references
another one of Gaster's events has your screen fill with wingdings that, when translated, form the missing 17th log from the True Lab. wingdings is one of the "obnoxious fonts", like comic sans and papyrus. so W(ing)D(ings) Gaster may be his full name which also means Sans' and Papyrus' last name is Gaster as well
finally, the sprites for the skulls that fire beams at you in Sans' battle are called Gaster Blaster, and look very much like the Determination Extractor in the True Lab which probably belonged to W.D. Gaster before Alphys
Spoiler:
The rabbit hole goes a little deeper when you find Sans's lab in Snowdin. It takes a lot of work to actually unlock since it requires at least 3 (or was it 4) no-kill runs. After this, Sans gives you a key to see what's in his room. In his room, there's another key which opens the lab. Inside the lab is an unfinished machine with a cloth over it (that you can't remove), several sets of blueprints for machines that you cant' comprehend, a photo with Sans, Frisk, and some others you don't recognize, and a badge of some sort. The description for the badge gives you actual indication as to what it actually is.
Either Sans is putting you on, or there's something else there.
Spoiler:
You can actually get that key on your first time though by saving right before his judgement, then just closing the game and reloading. And about the drawer with the pictures, there's an album with Sans and people you don't recognize, and sometimes a single picture of you and everyone else that I'm not sure of the specifics on how to unlock, but I'm pretty sure it persists through true resets.

on the arrival shuttle, I saw the iconic toolbox on the ground. I clubbed myself in the head with it trying to figure out the controls.
Setting the tool box, now bloodied, back on the table; I went to heal myself with a medkit. I clubbed myself in the head with that too.
I've come a long ways from asking how to switch hands.

The HoP just toolboxes someone to death out of nowhere, then gets speared by a chemist who saw him murder a guy, then the chemist gets beaten to death because someone else saw him kill the HoP.
Tele-man somehow dies and gets its looted by an atmos tech who managed to use it to send two nuke ops to lavaland, who were then surrounded by several very angry people from earlier and some extra golems on top of it.
Captain dies, gets cloned/revived, lasers the guy holding the disk into crit to take it back.
Some idiot tries to welderbomb the AI hiding out at mining for no discernible reason.
Two permabans and a dayban, i'm expecting a snarky appeal from one of them soon. What the fuck.
