Surprise! We finally have a release date and subtitle – “Broken Things” – for Poppy Playtime 5: February 18, 2026. The console release of Chapter 5 would “follow in the coming months”.
To celebrate the news, developer Mob Entertainment has shared a terrifying new cinematic teaser (which is very heavy on red-brown elements) and shows off the gigantic Experiment 1006, AKA The Prototype.
You can view it below:
“Deep in the vacant halls of the Playtime Co. laboratory, The Prototype stalks its unfinished work…the tattered, lifeless remains of toys that once were. Broken things,” the blurb teases.
“In Poppy Playtime: Chapter 5 – Broken Things, players must prepare to face the deadly puppet master behind the horrific events of Playtime Co.’s dark past. Solve devious puzzles and overcome dangerous obstacles as the true rotten heart at the center of Playtime Co. draws closer.”
You can expect “stomach-aching terror” in a new factory area, new “tortured inhabitants”, puzzles, deadly environmental obstacles and new GrabPack tools.
It’s been a long wait for fans. The previous chapter, called Poppy Playtime Chapter 4, as expected, arrived on PC in January last year and on consoles over the summer.
In May last year, the studio announced that a film adaptation of Poppy Playtime was in the works with Legendary Entertainment and Angry Films.
“When we started this journey, we followed our passion and created a series of games and brands with the goal of inspiring and entertaining. We always dreamed big and are thrilled to have created something that has captured the hearts of tens of millions of people around the world,” Mob Entertainment co-founders Zach Belanger and Seth Belanger said at the time. “This film deal is a logical next step in the growth of our transmedia entertainment company.”
