This Week In Video Games 5/18/26 — 5/22/26

A lot has gone on this week in video games. Here is a recap of what we covered in the world of #videogames on the site this week

There we all go, with one more week in the books and so many more video games and non-video game things to cover out there. It was definitely pop culture-related and had some interactive media to it, so Universal #FanFestNights will also have a place here, just like Horror Nights. That aside, it was great to see more for the #ResidentEvilMovie come up, then all leads into titles that are launching or launched this week. Video games like #007FirstLight and the latest version of the #Darksiders Warmastered Edition certainly topped that bill. Along with so many others that I will hold off on mentioning for now, but you can see listed below.

Poppy Playtime: Chapter 5 Is Stalking Its Way To The Consoles Now
 
Poppy Playtime: Chapter 5 Is Stalking Its Way To The Consoles Now

The horrors of Poppy Playtime get to continue on the consoles, with the release date set for #PoppyPlaytime: Chapter 5

It’s been a few months, and the #PC gamers have had their run at #PoppyPlaytimeChapter5, now is the time that the console gamers will get to join in. Well, more on May 27th, as that is when Mob Entertainment will be bringing us all the game for the PS4, #PS5, Xbox One, #XboxSeriesX|S, Switch, and #Switch2. All so we can all descend further into the nightmares that Poppy Playtime has been giving us, and see what Playtime Co’s darkest past has to share with the world. More than we are going to share with the world, as I’m sure that they would rather not have any of that out there. I am off-topic now, and we can head back to what we have on the way. Chapter 5 and nightmares that The Prototype will twist us into.

Poppy Playtime: Chapter 5 Is Taking Us Inside Out As It Launches
 
Poppy Playtime: Chapter 5 Is Taking Us Inside Out As It Launches

The launch for chapter 5 of Poppy Playtime has launched on the PC, and we can see where #PoppyPlaytime: Chapter 5 will take the story

All of the ARH stuff, and hype is finally coming to a close for the #PC gamers out there, with the launch of Poppy Playtime: Chapter 5 finally here. There is still no date on when all of the console gamers will get their chance with the game, but I am sure Mob Entertainment is working hard on that as I type all of these words. You will just need to dodge all of the spoilers out there if you have to wait. Then again, knowing the Poppy Playtime community a bit, you’ll most likely just hop into all of the story speculation and lore as you wait, then experience it all personally when it is ported over. There truly is no more waiting in this world, and we all need that instant gratification, don’t we? No shame, but it is a bit telling with the world; each day it gets worse.

Poppy Playtime: Chapter 5 Takes Us For A Run Through The Gameplay Coming

The gameplay for Poppy Playtime: Chapter 5 is teased out there to get us all ready for the next big run we will do in #PoppyPlaytime

It is finally time to step away from the ARG side of things for Poppy Playtime: Chapter 5, and run right into some of the new gameplay we are about to get. Well, at least, the #PC gamers are about to get on February 18th, as Mob Entertainment needs more time to get it over to all of the consoles. That is still coming and a few months down the line. All of it, most likely, is going to look about the same, so let’s see where this chapter of Poppy Playtime is going to take us. Not to mention, here’s our first real look at how The Prototype will be hunting us down as we slap and swing ourselves through all of the dangers that the new areas will have for us. Get ready for a wild ride.

The next part of the Poppy Playtime: Chapter 5 ARG is here, and it takes us further into the facility of #PoppyPlaytime

If you have been following along with all of the build up to Poppy Playtime: Chapter 5 launching on February 18th on the #PC, then you’ll be glad to see that the fun carries on. The next video in the ARG that Mob Entertainment has been placing out there to hype up this chapter is finally here, and it looks as if there might be some salvation. Okay, not really, as Poppy Playtime doesn’t truly feel like that is the setting for all of that. Salvation just happens to be the title of the video clip we have here, so it’s more of a play on words. I’m getting off-topic, though. Let’s dive into the next little clip that is furthering the darkness this universe is known for.

The Work Has Condemned Us All In Poppy Playtime: Chapter 5

The next video in the Poppy Playtime ARG is out there, and further pushing the narrative we’ll explore in #PoppyPlaytime: Chapter 5

As we were all promised, the next bit of the Poppy Playtime: Chapter 5 ARG series is out there for us all to puzzle over. One that is much longer and seems to dig further into the lore that Mob Entertainment is bringing to the world on February 18th. At least on the #PC. The consoles will see Poppy Playtime: Chapter 5 land out there months down the line. You get a little longer to try to figure things out in the ARG while dodging any spoilers for the game you might want to play. All with the irony that you will need to engage with all out there who are playing it to spoil the game as you all wait. Not the greatest of plans, but we’ll have to wait to see how that all plays out.

Try Not To Take A CATNAP on The Upcoming Poppy Playtime: Chapter 5
 
Try Not To Take A CATNAP on The Upcoming Poppy Playtime: Chapter 5

A new ARG for Poppy Playtime has started, with a little look at another experiment to experience in #PoppyPlaytime: Chapter 5

With Poppy Playtime: Chapter 5 hitting the #PC very soon, February 18th, it looks as if it is time for the hype to start to fire off out there. That’s what Mob Entertainment thinks, at least, as it looks like a new ARG has been kicked off out there. One that will take us deeper into the lore of Poppy Playtime while also getting us ready for this new chapter to show off a bigger experiment. Something that we have to look at in the first video out there for all of this, and for many others to dig through each frame to try to figure out what the story is actually telling. Maybe, so others who have the time can also place it out there for those who want to know, but lack the time and expertise to find all the clues.
