Surprise! We finally have a release date and a subtitle – “Broken Things” – for Poppy Playtime 5: 18th February, 2026. The console release for Chapter 5 will reportedly “follow in the months ahead”.

To celebrate the news, developer Mob Entertainment shared a new terrifying cinematic teaser (which is very heavy on the red-brown stuff), and shows off the gigantic Experiment 1006, AKA The Prototype.

You can check it out below:

“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,” the blurb teases.

“In Poppy Playtime: Chapter 5 – Broken Things, players must prepare to face off against the deadly puppetmaster behind the horrifying 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 nearer.”

You can expect “stomach-churning terror” in a new area of the factory, new “tortured denizens”, puzzles, deadly environmental obstacles, and new GrabPack tools.

It’s been a long wait for fans. The prior chapter, called Poppy Playtime Chapter 4, predictably enough, arrived on PC back in January last year, and on consoles over the summer.

In May of last year, the studio announced that a Poppy Playtime film adaptation was in the works with Legendary Entertainment and Angry Films.

“When we first started this journey, we followed our passion and created a series of games and brands with the purpose of inspiring and entertaining. We’ve always dreamed big and are thrilled to have created something that has captured the hearts of tens of millions around the world,” Mob Entertainment co-founders Zach Belanger and Seth Belanger said at the time. “This movie deal is a great logical next step in the growth of our transmedia entertainment company.”
