Poppy Playtime is returning with its fifth chapter, and Mob Entertainment claims this one will “stay with fans long after they have finished playing.”. The game is set to arrive in 2026 and will push both the story and scares further than ever before.
The developer has released a teaser trailer hinting that we will venture deeper into the factory, possibly into the Labs, a location fans have speculated about for years. The series’ eerie atmosphere and ever-present tension are expected to return, with Huggy Wuggy and other familiar nightmares still on the hunt. Most importantly, this chapter might finally reveal the puppet master behind the horrifying events of Playtime Co.
Mob Entertainment has hinted that Chapter 5 will uncover major secrets, including the true identity of the player and the mysterious Prototype. These details suggest that the story may be reaching its conclusion. Many fans believe Chapter 5 could be the final entry in the main series. It follows the traditional five-chapter format common in episodic horror games. Still, the studio has neither confirmed nor denied that this will be the finale.
Poppy Playtime Chapter 5 is now available to wishlist on Steam and the Epic Games Store. A January 2026 release window has been rumored, and players are also hoping for Nintendo Switch and mobile versions to follow.
