Poppy Playtime Chapter 5 Gets an Official Release Date and a New Subtitle
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
Poppy Playtime: Chapter 5 has received an official subtitle, Broken Things, and a PC release date of February 18, 2026, with console versions arriving later.
Horror fans mark your calendars because the next nightmare in the Toy Factory saga finally has a launch window. Developer Mob Entertainment announced that Poppy Playtime: Chapter 5 is officially titled Poppy Playtime: Chapter 5 - Broken Things, and it is launching on PC on February 18, 2026. Alongside the release date reveal, the studio dropped a fresh cinematic trailer giving players another eerie look at the overarching threat of Experiment 1006, also known as The Prototype.
Console players will need to exercise a bit more patience for this drop. While the franchise has expanded across multiple platforms over the years, the new episode is currently launching exclusively on PC, with the development team confirming that a full console release will follow in the months ahead. The episodic survival horror series has maintained a steady momentum since its debut in 2021, and this latest entry arrives just over a year after Chapter 4 launched in January 2025.
Studio descriptions promise that Broken Things will deliver plenty of stomach-churning terror as players explore the vacant labs of Playtime Co. where The Prototype stalks unfinished work and discarded toys. For a series that relies heavily on community theories, streaming reactions, and deep lore dives across YouTube and TikTok, this launch is guaranteed to spark another massive wave of creator content and fan speculation.
