The latest trailer for Poppy Playtime Chapter 4 revealed what players are most anticipating: a new monster, Yarnaby. Currently, the release of Chapter 4 is scheduled for January 2025; however, this date is not set in stone, and changes may occur in the future.

At first glance, Yarnaby appears harmless enough. The new monster sports a rainbow-colored yarn mane and features large, innocent eyes with a gentle smile. But don’t let the cute exterior fool you. The latest trailer reveals Yarnaby’s true nature when its face suddenly splits in half, exposing a horrifying double maw filled with sharp fangs.

The development team at Mob Entertainment has outdone themselves with this latest creation. According to CEO Zach Belanger, Yarnaby was one of the most exciting characters to develop. The monster combines unique material choices with innovative animation techniques to create what Belanger describes as the perfect “toy monster” design.

What Makes Yarnaby Special?

The new antagonist brings several notable features to the Poppy Playtime universe:

  • Rainbow yarn mane that adds a deceptively friendly appearance
  • Face-splitting mechanism that reveals its true nature
  • Dual-maw design with flesh and fangs
  • Unique animation style that emphasizes its horrifying transformation

Poppy Playtime has captured the attention of horror game fans since its initial release in 2021. The game’s setting in an abandoned toy factory provides the perfect backdrop for Yarnaby to join the roster of memorable monsters that have made the series famous.

The addition of Yarnaby to the Poppy Playtime universe shows how horror games continue to evolve, combining cute designs with shocking elements to create memorable gaming experiences. Fans of the series can look forward to facing this new threat when Chapter 4 launches early next year.
