Poppy Playtime Chapter 3 release date speculation, trailers, and story

10 months ago 232

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 Poppy Playtime Chapter 3: Deep Sleep release date is set for Winter 2023, which, at this point, is most likely to be some time in December. There is still no exact date yet.

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.

With the development team’s loyalties split across two games, the wait time between chapters two and three has been far longer, exceeding a year, but luckily there’s not much longer to wait until we step into Playcare.

Poppy Playtime Chapter 3 story

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 first 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.

Poppy Playtime Chapter 3 trailers

MOB Games released the first teaser trailer for the game in August 2022, which you can watch below, and followed up with a second in July 2023, which is higher up the page.

As you can see, we’re teed up for a pretty spooky storyline, which looks to be set mainly within 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.

The second trailer shows Playcare in a bit more detail, which reminds us somewhat of the spooky orphanage in The Outlast Trials. We’re pretty terrified to be left alone in the dark and gloomy daycare, but at least we’ll have Poppy to keep us company… We might be grateful for her when that creepy monster from the end of the trailer makes their appearance.

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.
