Poppy Playtime Chapter 1 hit us in October 2021 and was instantly the most viral game around. Online, there were comparisons to FNAF and the Bendy series, and clips circulated of YouTubers and streamers getting half scared to death. The game has evolved since then in its second to fourth chapters, and it looks like we need to buckle in again for Poppy Playtime Chapter 5 – and the ride begins now. It\u2019s officially coming in 2026, and the developer, Mob Entertainment, is teasing us with a trailer and some spine-tingling details.<\/p>\n
What we know based on this announcement is that we\u2019ll be going even further into the factory – which will presumably entail a visit to the Labs. I don\u2019t like the sound of this much, but with Huggy Wuggy freshly on our tails, it seems like we\u2019ll have no choice. Inside, we\u2019ll meet shadows and scares, but crucially, we\u2019re finally going to meet the puppet master behind the gruesome events and uncover the secrets we\u2019ve been eager to uncover from the last years of Poppy Playtime.<\/p>\n
Yep, that\u2019s right – this is a hint towards finding out the identities of some of the major Poppy Playtime characters, including the Prototype and, of course, the player. This would suggest that some of the major story elements are wrapping up in Chapter 5. Rumors are flying that this will be the final Poppy Playtime chapter, and most episodic games end after the five-chapter arc, so it would make sense, but at this stage, we don\u2019t know. I could easily see an epilogue chapter or two, if not a spin-off game.<\/p>\n
