Poppy Playtime Spinoff Escape from Playtime Gets Early Access Release Date

Escape from Playtime, a cooperative survival horror extraction spinoff of the popular Poppy's Playtime episodic horror games, is set to launch into Steam Early Access on October 21. In this multiplayer game, players assume the roles of Smiling Critters trapped within the abandoned Playtime Co. factory, tasked with escaping. Cooperation and communication are key as players work together, following instructions from an enigmatic voice in the factory to construct a promised home for toys who demonstrate their loyalty and usefulness.

The game employs proximity chat, meaning that excessive noise will alert the Playtime Co. to your location, leading to your demise. The Poppy Playtime franchise aims to expand beyond gaming, with developer Mob Entertainment recently signing a deal with Legendary Pictures to develop a film based on the games. Additionally, action figures based on the games are available from McFarlane Toys. Those interested in playing can wishlist Escape from Playtime on Steam for future access.
