It’s been a delightfully terrifying first week of Escape From Playtime since its October 21st launch, and today Mob Entertainment drops more details on the game’s latest update, plus an early roadmap of new content and features for fans to look forward to.

Available as of today:

• PUBLIC LOBBIES — Instead of mandated group play and lobby codes, the latest update adds public lobbies, making it easy for players to queue, find a group, or set up their own lobby, with group sizes of 2-8 players.
• LORE GALORE — Search every nook and cranny again and AGAIN, because 12 more mysterious notes have been scattered around the factory just waiting to be found, along with strange posters on the walls and seemingly random VHS tapes discoverable throughout the facility. But who put them there, and to what end?
• GROUP TIMING ADJUSTMENTS — Based on player feedback so far, Mob is updating session and shift timing, balancing the difficulty for smaller groups to be able to complete shifts in full. After all, fewer hands means slower work.

Coming soon: more lore through various discoverable artifacts; tutorial updates and a guided shift for beginners; balanced group size and timing difficulty; new items, cosmetics, and emotes; more puzzles and challenges; updated gameplay and enemy enhancements.

Escape From Playtime is currently available in the Steam Scream V Fest with a limited-time 10% discount. Players who have already downloaded Poppy Playtime: Chapter 1 can stack an additional 10% off their game purchase.

About Escape From Playtime: Escape From Playtime sends the Smiling Critters into the abandoned Playtime Co. factory for co-op survival horror in the Poppy Playtime universe. Brave the halls alongside a partner or with up to seven friends, scavenging supplies and hauling building materials for a mysterious Voice that promises freedom and a home. Crawl, climb, solve puzzles, and squeeze into hiding spots while rejected toys hunt you through procedurally generated environments that change with every run. Keep your friends close and your voices down, because proximity voice chat means your next brilliant escape plan could reach the wrong ears. Survive the run, then check the Perm-A-Lounge computer to track your progress, examine rewards, and dig into the company secrets and connections to the wider Poppy Playtime story.
