Trailer Reveals Subtitle and Release Date
Mob Entertainment has officially unveiled the trailer for Poppy Playtime: Chapter 5 – Broken Things, confirming both its release date and subtitle. The highly anticipated installment will arrive on PC February 18, 2026, with console editions expected in the months ahead.
A Darker Glimpse Into Playtime Co.
The cinematic teaser sets a chilling tone, highlighting the grotesque atmosphere of the abandoned Playtime Co. facility. Central to the trailer is Experiment 1006, known as The Prototype, depicted stalking the ruined lab among shattered toy remains.
The official synopsis reads: “Deep within the vacant halls of the Playtime Co. lab, The Prototype stalks its unfinished work… the tattered, lifeless remains of toys that once were. Broken things.”
Facing The Prototype
Mob Entertainment confirmed that Chapter 5 will bring players closer to the core mystery of Playtime Co. The Prototype is positioned as the “deadly puppetmaster” behind the factory’s darkest secrets.
Players can expect:
- A new section of the factory to explore.
- Complex puzzles and environmental hazards.
- Expanded GrabPack mechanics.
- Encounters with new hostile characters, described as “tortured denizens.”
A Long-Awaited Chapter
The reveal ends a lengthy wait for fans. Poppy Playtime: Chapter 4 launched in January 2025 on PC, with console versions arriving later that summer. Since then, updates on the next chapter had been scarce until this announcement.
Beyond the games, Mob Entertainment has confirmed that a feature film adaptation is in development with Legendary Entertainment and Angry Films, signaling the franchise’s continued expansion into other media.
What Happens Next?
With Broken Things set to release in February, anticipation is building for what could be the darkest and most intense chapter yet. Fans will soon confront The Prototype directly, unraveling deeper mysteries within Playtime Co. as the series pushes toward its most terrifying installment.
