Fresh off the release of the massively successful Poppy Playtime: Chapter 5, what’s next from the Poppy Playtime franchise? And was Chapter 5 the final chapter of the saga?
In a new chat with Variety that just dropped this week, creators Zach Belanger and Seth Belanger make it clear that Poppy Playtime: Chapter 6 is absolutely on the way.
The Belanger brothers tease, “I don’t know if I’m at liberty to say much about it, but I would say that we’re in the third act of the original series. Let’s just leave it that.”
Mob Entertainment’s George Krstic tells the outlet in their exclusive chat, “What comes next has to really hit hard. It has to be an evolution. We want our players to know that there’s still plenty of Poppy to come as long as they’re willing to stay along for the ride.”
What to expect from the future of Poppy Playtime?
“We look at it as, the three year olds are only getting older, just like the rest of us. So that’s not to say that we don’t want to stay in that PG-13 or high-teen area,” the team tells Variety. “But that being said, from a thematic perspective and kind of in general, we want to get more horrific and darker in a lot of ways over time, as opposed to going the other way.”
And what about that Poppy Playtime movie?
Legendary Entertainment is developing a movie adaptation of the Poppy Playtime video games, which is planned to be a live action movie. It’s been a while since we’ve heard a peep about the project, but it sounds like it’s still in development. Stay tuned for more.
What is Poppy Playtime: Chapter 5 about?
In Poppy Playtime: Chapter 5, players must prepare to face off against the deadly puppet master behind the horrifying events of Playtime Co. Solve devious puzzles and overcome dangerous obstacles as the true rotten heart at the center of Playtime Co. draws nearer. Traverse this new realm of shadows in a fight for survival (and the truth) with Playtime’s security system Huggy Wuggy in hot pursuit and separated from your only allies. Will you finally end this nightmare, or fall victim to the puppet master’s twisted madness?
Stomach-churning terrors await you in this new section of the factory as you uncover the dark works hidden within The Prototype’s stomping grounds. In this chilling new layer of the Playtime facility, you will encounter the tortured denizens living in the darkness. They may aid you in your quest to defeat The Prototype, but can they be trusted?
As before, you’ll need to solve devious puzzles and overcome dangerous environmental obstacles, but this time with the power of new GrabPack tools and functionality.
Stay tuned for more on all things Poppy Playtime.
The original survival horror video game was released in 2021, and much like Five Nights at Freddy’s, it’s become an incredibly popular merchandising powerhouse in the last few years.
Will that similarly translate to box office success? Only time will tell.
