Escape from Playtime is making its way to players. The co-op survival horror extraction spinoff from the Poppy Playtime franchise launches into Steam Early Access on October 21, according to reporting by IGN.
Steam Early Access Launch Set for October 21
The multiplayer spinoff drops players into the abandoned Playtime Co. factory. They take on the role of Smiling Critters working together to escape.
Surviving the Playtime Co. Factory Floor
IGN reports that participants must follow the instructions of a mysterious voice inside the facility. The goal: build a promised home for toys that prove their loyalty and usefulness.
Survival demands a delicate touch. The game requires puzzle-solving, hiding, and sneaking while managing communication carefully.
Proximity Chat and Deadly Rejects
IGN notes that Escape from Playtime utilizes proximity chat. That means players who are too loud risk alerting the Playtime Co. rejects roaming the factory floor.
Make a sound, and they will hunt and destroy you.
Extending the Horror Ecosystem
According to IGN reporting, the parent Poppy Playtime franchise looks to follow in the footsteps of Five Nights at Freddy’s. It is extending its reach into film through a 2024 deal signed between developer Mob Entertainment and Legendary Pictures.
Merchandise and Wishlist Availability
The brand also maintains a physical merchandise presence.
Players interested in the upcoming extraction title can currently add Escape from Playtime to their Steam wishlists ahead of the October 21 launch.
