What is the Poppy Playtime Chapter 3 release date? Chapter 2: Fly in a Web was the last instalment of Poppy Playtime, and left us both relieved to have avoided Mommy Long Legs and excited for what might come next.
The Poppy Playtime games are an interesting mix of horror micro-scenarios, with the overall narrative being punctuated by several terrifying mini-games. The second chapter of Poppy Playtime tasked the player with a few rounds of whack-a-mole, red light green light, and a really twisted game of Simon Says. What will the next chapter of the indie game involve, and more importantly, what is the Poppy Playtime Chapter 3 release date?
Poppy Playtime Chapter 3 release date speculation
The developer, MOB Games, has confirmed that Poppy Playtime Chapter 3: Deep Sleep is set to release in Winter 2023 on PC via Steam. We don’t have an exact date yet, but given it’s been over a year since the second chapter, we expect to get our hands on the game in December 2023.
Why? Well, MOB Games released the first two chapters of the game just seven months apart. Poppy Playtime Chapter 1 was released in October 2021 and Chapter 2 was released in May 2022. This was then followed by Project: Playtime, a free co-op game, seven months later in December 2022.
Given the development team’s loyalties have been split across two games, it’s likely that we’ll see the third chapter arrive in December of this year, allowing us to continue our little nightmare.
Poppy Playtime Chapter 3 teaser trailer
MOB Games has released a teaser trailer for the game, which you can watch below.
As you can see, we’re teed up for a pretty spooky storyline, which looks to be set mainly within the Playcare. Based on the gas mask alone and the creepy new monster, we think Chapter 3 might be the most disturbing entry to the series yet.
Poppy Playtime Chapter 3 story details
In the final scene of Poppy Playtime Chapter 2: Fly in a Web, you find yourself aboard a train with Poppy as it derails, ultimately crashing into a building. The last thing you see before unconsciousness takes you is a sign for ‘Playcare’. In the teaser trailer, Elliot Ludwig himself confirms the Playcare location, stating that it is a refuge for children. It looks clear that the third chapter of Poppy Playtime will take place inside this refuge.
Now you know that Poppy Playtime Chapter 3 will be released this year, it could be the perfect time to revisit the previous games and get back up to speed with the unnatural goings on. If you’re after something else to play in the meantime, we have the best PC games here, and the best horror games if you’re looking for something else to keep you awake at night.
