Poppy Playtime Unveils New Character for Chapter 4!

Developer Mob Entertainment has just released an exciting trailer for Poppy Playtime Chapter 4, showcasing the latest enemy, Yarnaby. Known for its appeal among younger horror fans, Poppy Playtime is gearing up to deliver fresh scares in this highly anticipated chapter, giving fans a sneak peek at what’s to come.

Since its debut in 2021, Poppy Playtime has invited players to step into the shoes of a former Playtime Co. factory employee who returns to the now-deserted toy factory under mysterious circumstances. After Chapter 3 launched in January 2024, fans have eagerly awaited Chapter 4, speculating about the new horrors awaiting them. Now, with Mob Entertainment’s recent trailer, curiosity about the game’s newest villain is finally being satisfied.

The trailer introduces Yarnaby, a deceptively adorable yet terrifying addition to the game’s antagonist lineup. Previously hinted at by Mob Entertainment’s CEO, Zach Belanger, in an April interview, Yarnaby was described as one of the most thrilling creations to develop due to its unique combination of materials, animation, and "toy monster" essence. True to Belanger's words, Yarnaby’s reveal shows an enemy that blends cute and creepy elements in a way that’s both unsettling and memorable.

Poppy Playtime Chapter 4 Trailer: Yarnaby’s Unsettling Transformation

In the latest trailer, viewers revisit the eerie Playtime Co. factory before getting a glimpse of Yarnaby. The creature appears with a mane of rainbow-colored yarn surrounding a cute face with round eyes and a slight, toothy grin. But just as players may be charmed by this seemingly innocent creature, Yarnaby reveals a nightmarish side—its face splits open to expose a second maw, filled with rows of razor-sharp teeth. Its blend of toy-like charm and gruesome design is sure to make Yarnaby a memorable addition to the series’ lineup of unsettling foes.

The appeal of cute-yet-deadly characters remains strong among fans of horror games, with titles like Spooky’s Jump Scare Mansion, My Friendly Neighborhood, and Poppy Playtime leading the charge. Yarnaby’s mix of sweetness and horror promises to elevate the thrills in Poppy Playtime's next chapter. Chapter 4 is slated for release in January 2025, and fans are eagerly counting down the days.
