Escape From Playtime set for October 2026 Early Access release
Mob Entertainment has announced that ‘Escape From Playtime’, a cooperative survival horror extraction spinoff of the ‘Poppy Playtime’ franchise, will launch in Steam Early Access on October 21, 2026.
Set within the abandoned Playtime Co. factory, the game allows up to four players to take on the roles of the Smiling Critters. Players must work together to collect resources under the guidance of a mysterious ‘Voice’ to build a promised home for toys. The gameplay features procedural generation, puzzle-solving, and proximity voice chat, which adds tension as players must remain quiet to avoid being discovered by the factory’s dangerous inhabitants.
The initial Early Access release is expected to include all eight Smiling Critters characters, one starter zone, and a core lineup of enemies.
