Poppy Playtime 5 Gets a Release Date and a New Name: Poppy Playtime: Chapter 5 — Broken Things

We finally have a release date for Poppy Playtime: Chapter 5 — February 18, 2026. The game also has a subtitle, giving the full official title: Poppy Playtime: Chapter 5 — Broken Things. Based on the latest trailer, the name couldn’t be more fitting. Yikes.

With just a month left, developer Mod Entertainment has unveiled a new cinematic teaser that draws us even closer to the terrifying — and terrifyingly massive — Experiment 1006, known to fans as The Prototype.

Although Poppy Playtime is available on many platforms, this new episode is launching exclusively on PC for now, with the team confirming that “a full console release will follow in the months ahead.”

“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,” the developer teases. “Broken things.”

The episodic game launched all the way back in 2021, and the most recent chapter, Poppy Playtime: Chapter 4, arrived at the end of January 2025 — meaning we’ve waited a long time to discover what happened after Chapter 4’s events. With the studio promising “stomach-churning terror” in this “chilling new layer,” it’s sure to be worth the wait.

Chapter 5 will put you face-to-face with the “deadly puppetmaster behind the horrifying events of Playtime Co.’s dark past,” challenge you with puzzles and obstacles, and task you with “traversing this new realm of shadows in a fight for survival (and the truth).” And of course, the beloved Huggy Wuggy is back.

In news that won’t shock any horror mascot fan, developer Mob Entertainment has teamed up with Legendary Entertainment to develop a film based on its toy-factory horror hit. This is just the latest in a long line of horror games getting adapted, following titles like Five Nights at Freddy’s, Until Dawn, Dredge, Martha Is Dead, and the genre-defining Phasmophobia.
