Poppy Playtime Chapter 3: All we know so far

Fariha Bhatti Published 02/12/2023

Poppy Playtime Chapter 3: Deep Sleep teasers are picking pace, which only means the release date is closer than we might think. 

Mob Entertainment’s horror game has everyone on their toes. With constant ARG teasers and Smiling Critter’s creepy cuteness, the lore has never been more enjoyable. Recently, Mob shut down the ARG, which further confirms that the official launch is around the corner. 

Here’s all we know about Chapter 3: Deep Sleep. 

When does Poppy Playtime Chapter 3 release?

Mob hasn’t revealed the exact launch date for Chapter 3: Deep Sleep, but we do know it’s releasing sometime in December. 

Poppy Playtime’s competitor game, FNAF: Help Wanted 2, is set to release on December 14, so Mob may push the release date to the latter half of December. Fans should expect Chapter 3: Deep Sleep between December 15 to 20. But it’s just a wild guess and should be taken with a grain of salt. 

All characters in Chapter 3: Deep Sleep

Poppy Playtime Chapter 3 has confirmed that Mommy Long Legs and Huggy Wuggy are dead for good. But there’s no reason to frown. Mob has introduced eight new characters called the Smiling Critters. Here are all the Smiling Critters with their scents. 

• Bobby BearHug: Rose
• Bubba BubbaPhant: Lemongrass
• CatNap: Lavender
• CraftyCorn: Jasmine
• DogDay: Vanilla
• HopScotch: Peppermint
• KickinChicken: Ylang-Ylang
• Picky Piggy: Citrus 

Besides these characters, the unknown mystery Prototype may also be making a return. The second trailer features a dark silhouette, which is presumably The Prototype.

Chapter 3: Deep Sleep ARG 

Poppy Playtime Chapter 3 ARG has confirmed that CatNap indeed watches over children asleep. It has also teased that CatNap used to be a child who was friends with The Prototype but was later stuffed into the purple toy. 

However, the ARG has now been shut down by Mob Entertainment with a cryptic note. 

It is likely linked with the developing story.
