A sequel could be a new threat to monster society on the Surface, threatening to orchestrate another war, or maybe something much more sinister. A spin-off could be detailing another location that exists within the world of Undertale, utilizing previous lore, while introducing new elements within the Undertale universe. Or perhaps focusing another monster’s perspective.

There’s a lot you can do with Undertale’s story, and branch out as well. Again, a sequel could only work if you did True Pacifist. Since there is no "true ending" to Undertale, it's impossible for a sequel like that to exist.

A prequel would probably be the most logical idea if you want to clear up some mysteries. However, that could go a lot of ways. It could branch out Suzy's story, Gaster's, the skelebros', any monster in the game really! Maybe the prequel could have you play as different monsters and tell different stories? I would really love to see that.

Now, a spin-off would be the most unique choice in my opinion. I don't think a spin-off could clear much information, but it IS possible. I have a few other ideas for a spin-off:

Playing as one (or more) of the fallen kids. This might be able to clear up some mysteries, too. Maybe one of the kids met Gaster, or was helped by Flowey, or something. It would be really sad to see your character die at the end, though. Playing as Chara would be really cool, too!

This is a stretch, but... maybe as a monster in the Underground? Or multiple? Heck, maybe even play as Flowey! Any monster would work in my opinion. Even one like Froggit. You could see Frisk go through all of the routes. If Frisk went through all of the routes, though, it would make the most sense to play as Flowey in my opinion. This wouldn't be able to clear much information in most scenarios, but it may be possible to.

I also like the idea of discovering a completely new location in the Underground that you said. I’ll just copy and paste what I said about a sequel after Genocide:

“Assuming you did Genocide but didn’t accept Chara’s offer upon restarting the game, perhaps the sequel could open with Chara’s request to take your SOUL? Or if you did a Soulless Pacifist Route, the game will pick up from there.”

And I would love the possibility to play as Chara too. Soulless Pacifist can't be done, because Chara takes control, not us.

Since when were we in control, anyway? Well, I suppose you wouldn’t really need to canonize the True Pacifist Route, you could just go with a branching timeline of what happens between the different routes, and just say that the sequel takes place only after True Pacifist... kinda like Zelda. Okay, I’ll stop...
