Poppy Playtime Chapter 4: Release date, launch time and what to expect
Playtime isn't over.
The Poppy Playtime Chapter 4 release date is upon us, which means it's time to buckle up for another episode of horror.
If you're unaware of the Poppy Playtime franchise, it's a series of episodic indie games from Mob Entertainment that centres on a retired employee navigating an abandoned toy factory.
It's one for fans of Five Nights at Freddy's (though not for kids), and its scary puzzle-solving will keep you thinking as you hide behind the pillow.
If you've already played the first three, then you'll be glad to know the next is almost here.
Let's take a closer look at Poppy Playtime Chapter 4.

What to expect from Poppy Playtime Chapter 4
Poppy Playtime is a first person survival-horror, and the player takes control of the aforementioned ex-employee in an abandoned toy factory.
Many of the puzzles in the game are solved with the GrabPack, a tool that gives you extendable arms to reach far distances, swing across gaps, and even conduct electricity.
The Chapter 4 Steam page promises "terrifying new threats" and "shocking revelations" as "every step will test your courage, every puzzle will challenge your mind, and every corner may be your last".
Be aware that you'll need to download the base game before you can play this chapter.
