At the PC Gaming Show, Mob Entertainment has announced that Escape From Playtime will officially release this October.
Escape From Playtime is a new game set in the highly viral Poppy Playtime universe, set before the events of Chapter 1.
Escape From Playtime Release Date
Escape From Playtime will officially release on October 21st, 2026.
Escape From Playtime is a co-op survival horror game set deep inside the abandoned Playtime Co. factory. Players take on the roles of the Smiling Critters, the dead-eyed toy line with gaping smiles first introduced in Poppy Playtime: Chapter 3, and explore classrooms, warehouses, testing labs, and the dark corridors connecting them all.
The press release reads,
“Launching first into Steam Early Access, the game sends players — alone or with friends — back into the infamous Playtime Co. factory from the perspective of the cute-yet-disturbing Smiling Critters. Tasked with scavenging materials for a mysterious building project that promises salvation, players must work together and follow instructions from an ominous voice lurking in the shadows, all while evading the factory’s most dangerous denizens.”
It continues,
“Played solo or with up to four players, each run sends teams into a dynamically changing section of the facility to find and transport resources for a mysterious Voice. The materials are needed to help build a promised home for toys who prove their loyalty and usefulness. Simple enough, except the factory is filled with rejected Playtime Co. creations stalking the halls. Players must search quickly, choose when to split up or stick together, and know when to retreat.”
