Poppy Playtime
The next video in the Poppy Playtime ARG is out there, and further pushing the narrative we’ll explore in Poppy Playtime: Chapter 5
As we were all promised, the next bit of the Poppy Playtime: Chapter 5 ARG series is out there for us all to puzzle over. One that is much longer and seems to dig further into the lore that Mob Entertainment is bringing to the world on February 18th. At least on the PC. The consoles will see Poppy Playtime: Chapter 5 land out there months down the line. You get a little longer to try to figure things out in the ARG while dodging any spoilers for the game you might want to play. All with the irony that you will need to engage with all out there who are playing it to spoil the game as you all wait. Not the greatest of plans, but we'll have to wait to see how that all plays out.
Digging into the video and leaving the weird timeline of releases aside, here we get to see more of the behind-the-scenes in the facility that we might be exploring in Poppy Playtime. A few of the workers have been stuck in place for a bit of time, and we get to see how the escape plan comes together, falls apart, along with learning that things are not always on the up and up in the universe. I am sure we wouldn't have Poppy Playtime as a game if things were all above board. Maybe, though, this will show us just how the lack of humanity out there will play into the game, and maybe with how the Prototype will be interacting with everything. These all do look to be learned behaviors, so that might be why things go sour for them all.

What do you think all of this means for Poppy Playtime, and its lore? Will any of this have any real bearing on the overall story? Will we get to see any of this playout in the mix of things in this new chapter? How will the console gamers be able to dodge all of the spoilers before the game launches out there for them to enjoy? Let's talk all about this in the comment section further down the page here. Poppy Playtime: Chapter 5 has two more of these videos to come, with the launch following soon after, so expect there to be a lot more news on the site for it. That said, please follow along here and on all of our socials to be sure you are as up on all of it as possible. You wouldn't want to be the only one to miss out on things, would you?
