Mob Entertainment announced at PC Gaming Show Tokyo Direct 2026 that Escape from Playtime, a co-op survival horror game set in the Poppy Playtime world, will begin Steam Early Access on October 21.

Escape from Playtime goes into Steam Early Access on October 21, with the price still undecided. Mob Entertainment is developing and publishing.

Players control the Smiling Critters from Poppy Playtime Chapter 3 and search the ruined Playtime Co. toy factory for parts and resources, bringing them back to a safe place. The factory covers classrooms, warehouses, laboratories, and the dark corridors between them, where failed experiments hunt.

Enemies are avoided with tools, hiding spots, decoys, and alternate routes. A mysterious voice rewrites the factory layout each run, and proximity voice chat supports one to four players. A playtest is open for registration.
