Mob Entertainment has locked in a release date for Poppy Playtime: Chapter 5, the next installment in the indie studio's wildly popular mascot horror franchise. According to Niche Gamer, the chapter drops on February 18th for Windows PC via both Steam and the Epic Games Store.
Console players will have to sit this one out at launch - ports are confirmed but don't have a release window yet. It's a familiar rollout strategy for the series, which has typically prioritized PC first before bringing chapters to broader platforms.
What to expect
Mob Entertainment has released a trailer alongside the announcement, giving fans a fresh look at what Chapter 5 has in store. The Poppy Playtime series has built a dedicated following by blending puzzle mechanics with genuinely unsettling horror across its factory setting, and each new chapter has expanded the lore in meaningful ways.
The franchise has grown from a small indie release into one of the more recognizable names in horror gaming, with its toy-themed antagonists earning a foothold in broader pop culture. Chapter 5 continuing that momentum with a concrete launch date suggests Mob Entertainment is keeping up the pace that's kept the community engaged between releases.
