After announcing last month that Chapter 3 of Poppy Playtime was due out in December, MOB Games has made the hard decision to delay the official release by several weeks into 2024. According to MOB Entertainment co-founders Zach and Seth Belanger, the decision to delay Chapter 3, entitled “Deep Sleep”, is to ensure that the game releases “at the quality [MOB Entertainment is] striving for.”
In a message to fans, the Belangers state that the devteam has been “putting in extraordinary effort” to give fans the best possible experience. “Chapter 3 is going to be the biggest, highest quality installment of Poppy Playtime yet, and we cannot wait for you guys to enjoy it.”
As a consolation for the delay, the devs have put together a brand-new gameplay trailer that kicks off appropriately with a saccharine 90s-style cartoon. The cuteness quickly turns dark once we start seeing what remains of the Playcare orphanage, and the result of the toys having their way.
Chapter 3: Deep Sleep sees players investigating the decrepit Playcare orphanage, which is situated beneath Playtime Co., the abandoned toy factory from the previous chapters. You must make your way through this haunted place, solving new puzzles and avoiding the nightmares that lurk within the dark. You still have your trusty GrabPack, which now has new hand attachments that allow players to explore in new and creative ways.
You can currently find Poppy Playtime on PC via Steam.
