The long wait is now over as Poppy Playtime Chapter 2’s release date has been confirmed. According to MOB Games’ official Twitter account, the highly anticipated DLC of the Poppy Playtime franchise is set to arrive on Thursday, May 5th.
Poppy Playtime Chapter 2’s release date has been a subject of rumors after a listing on Steam indicated that the DLC will be available on April 29th. Later on, the alleged release date leak of the survival horror game was removed from the page. Director Isaac Christopherson has then stated that the DLC will not be released on April 29th but instead will be accessible very soon. Recently, MOB Games brought an end to all speculation by confirming the game’s release date on their social media platforms.
Poppy Playtime Chapter 1 launched just a few months ago for PC in 2021 and has since earned a great deal of attention from various gaming personalities, building its popularity among horror game fans. The gameplay is comparable to that of Five Nights at Freddy’s Security Breach, except that it takes place in a toy factory. Along with the addition of a new map, enemy toys, and gameplay in Chapter 2’s launch, the mystery behind the disappearance of Playtime Co.’s employees ten years ago may also begin to unravel.
In Poppy Playtime Chapter 1 – Tight Squeeze, players were given an introduction to the GrabPack utility, which is crucial in navigating through the Playtime Co. toy factory. There are also the five VHS tapes, which are clues to the staff’s whereabouts and secrets of Playtime Co., serving as an overview of the Poppy Playtime Lore. Moreover, the terrible enemy toy, Huggy Wuggy, provided an early impression of how scary the jumpscares in Poppy Playtime will be in the game’s next DLCs.
Ahead of the release date announcement, MOB Games have been releasing teasers of Poppy Playtime Chapter 2 content, including a video trailer and torn poster pieces of the new map, Game Station. Mommy Long Legs, the upcoming antagonist in Chapter 2, was shown off in the trailer without any indication of her gameplay and whether she would be as scary as Huggy Wuggy or worse. Here’s a look at Poppy Playtime Chapter 2 trailer “Fly in the Web,” courtesy of MOB Games’ official Youtube channel:
Poppy Playtime Chapter 2 has a lot in store for its players. Apart from the upcoming DLC, MOB Games has also stated that a horror movie based on Poppy Playtime‘s story is in development, though no further details have been released as of now.
