Poppy Playtime recently released a trailer for its second chapter, Fly in a Web, which left fans wondering when Poppy Playtime Chapter 2 would be released. While the trailer didn’t include a release date, it did reveal details about the game's upcoming second chapter and its antagonist. Many online had originally theorized that the latest installment of Poppy Playtime would be released in March, although this obviously did not come to pass. However, new information has surfaced that potentially hints at Poppy Playtime Chapter 2 releasing later in April.
Survival horror video game Poppy Playtime launched in October 2021 for PC, then later ported to Android and iOS in early March 2022. The game combines horror and puzzles, seeing the player step into the first-person role of a former employee visiting their former place of work, the now-abandoned toy factory. Poppy Playtime’s antagonists are vengeful toys, reminiscent of Five Nights At Freddy’s terrifying animatronics. The game was a welcome addition to the survival horror genre, receiving widely positive reviews upon its release, despite negative feedback in response to the game incorporating NFTs, a contentious topic in the gaming industry.
MOB Games released the Poppy Playtime Chapter 2 official trailer on February 22, giving its players a first look at the upcoming chapter. In the trailer, the audience is introduced to a new antagonist, taking over the role from Chapter 1’s main antagonist, Huggy Wuggy. The trailer gives players a preview of Chapter 2’s gameplay, most notably a newly-added green hand for the GrabPack. The trailer concludes with Chapter 2’s antagonist, Mommy Long Legs, emerging from the shadows, and revealing the new chapter’s title, Fly in a Web, which corresponds with her spider-like appearance. One thing the trailer lacks, however, is the new chapter’s release date, which now appears to be confirmed thanks to updates to Steam.
Poppy Playtime Chapter 2: Fly in a Web Release Date
Although the initial trailer for Poppy Playtime Chapter 2: Fly in a Web didn't reveal a release date, new information courtesy of SteamDB (via Gamereactor) appears to confirm that the game will arrive April 29. SteamDB tracks all changes made to Steam and recently updated Poppy Playtime Chapter 2 with a new late April release date, also saying that the chapter will be available to download 19:00 UTC on that day, which converts to 12:00 PT and 15:00 ET respectively.
While many online had hoped for March 2022 release for Poppy Playtime's next chapter, it appears as if those estimations where off by about a month. Current indications point toward Chapter 2: Fly in a Web being available to play soon, although the game’s developers are playing their cards close to their chest. Fortunately for MOB Games, the widespread excitement over the game's upcoming chapter indicates fans have already forgiven the Poppy Playtime's short-lived foray into the world of video game NFTs.
