Poppy Playtime Chapter 4 release date

Poppy Playtime Chapter 4 was released on Steam on January 30, 2025.All of the previous chapters are on console and mobile, so it’s safe to say Safe Haven will be, too, but we don’t know when to expect it on iOS, Android, PS, Xbox, or Nintendo Switch just yet. As soon as we have more information, we’ll let you know.

Is there a Poppy Playtime Chapter 4 trailer?

Yes, there are actually five Poppy Playtime Chapter 4 trailers for you to enjoy, as well as a small teaser video on X.

As for the 45-second teaser clip Mob Entertainment shared on X on December 7, it showcases Poppy Playtime’s Pianosaurus, yet another toy that’s set to give you nightmares upon the release of Poppy Playtime Chapter 4. The video shows you the trailer Playtime Co. created for the toy on a computer, only for the actual thing to emerge from behind the PC, giving you a look at one of the most terrifying toys yet.

The third trailer for Poppy Playtime Chapter 4 is so eerie, introducing a character known as The Doctor. We’re not even going to describe what happens. You need to watch this one for yourself.

Who is the villain of Poppy Playtime Chapter 4?

While we had numerous theories about who the big bad of Poppy Playtime Chapter 4 might be, including thoughts on Poppy Playtime’s Boxy Boo following his appearance in The Hour of Joy videotape, but the toy of this hour is Yarnaby, another being that used to be one of the orphans of Playcare.

However, he isn’t the only enemy you need to worry about in Safe Haven, as the Nightmare Critters make their debut in Chapter 4 as well, the scarier version of the Poppy Playtime Smiling Critters. Then there’s Pianosaurus and The Doctor as well.

Poppy Playtime Chapter 4’s story

It turns out our Poppy Playtime Chapter 4 theories were right on the money. Well, some of them, at least, as we do find ourselves in a prison, as we descend even further into the factory. To call this place hell is too kind – this is where you uncover real horror. The secrets in the depths of the factory are paramount.

Luckily, the main reason you head down there while Poppy returns to save Kissy Missy is that you’re after even more allies, and boy, do you need them with The Doctor and Yarnaby out to get you. This is where Doey the Doughman comes in, though you really ought to keep an eye on him.

There’s plenty more we can say about the story, but Poppy Playtime Chapter 4 is still new, so we’ll refrain from heavy spoilers for now. But you should know that this is the most important chapter yet, and it features the likes of Ollie, Kissy, Poppy, and, of course, the Prototype. The twists and turns on offer in Safe Haven are very clever, and it certainly leaves us wondering what we can expect from Chapter 5 – the pressure is on.

That concludes everything you need to know about Poppy Playtime Chapter 4. If you want to get a better look at those who call the Poppy Playtime factory home, check out our Poppy Playtime characters guide.
