Poppy Playtime Chapter 4 Yarnaby Trailer
In thePoppy PlaytimeChapter 4 trailer, fans are shown the familiar scenes of the abandoned Playtime Co. factory before getting a brief look at Yarnaby. The colorful new character sports a lion-like mane of rainbow yarn, surrounding an unassuming face with big round eyes and a slightly toothy smile. Just as many may begin to raise an eyebrow at the surprisingly cute enemy, Yarnaby shockingly splits its face in half to reveal a double maw of grotesque flesh and razor-sharp fangs. Fully embodying the “toy monster” description while sporting a crafty yarn material look and unsettling skull-breaking animation, Yarnaby looks more than ready to join the horrifying lineup of enemies in thePoppy Playtimegame franchise.
Cute characters continue to captivate fans ofsurvival horror video games, with titles likeSpooky’s Jump Scare Mansion,My Friendly Neighborhood, andPoppy Playtimeserving as key examples of the phenomenon. With a disturbing blend of seemingly sweet features masking the lurking horrors within, Yarnaby seems primed to bring a new level of scares to Playtime Co. Chapter 4 ofPoppy Playtimeis currently scheduled to launch in January 2025.
