Remember, escape, repeat as delusions of grandeur meet narrative-driven horror

LOS ANGELES — Aug. 26, 2026 — Today’s Future Games Show Live lifts the would-be bloodstained wedding veil to reveal Sweetheart, the first-person narrative-driven horror breakup simulator by Genie Boy Games. Sweetheart severs heartstrings on Windows PC, Mac, and Linux via Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch next year.

It’s not every day a 15-year toxic relationship turns into a monstrous nightmare, but today’s not every day. Skylar Maxine, after all, is not your typical woman: she’s an A-List pop star living in a sprawling L.A. mansion. Skylar’s a veritable icon, equal parts her childhood heroes, Hannah Montana and Marlyn Monroe, but once upon a time, she was simply Skylar, who started dating her childhood crush, Gabe, when they were 12. Now…things are different. 

Unable to bear the nightmare their childhood dreams are turning into, Gabe must split with Skylar, a change she takes…poorly. Fearing the failure of fulfilling their lifelong goals together, Skylar’s mental stability dissolves, and untold horrors manifest in reality as an existential crisis.

Navigate Gabe and Skylar’s dream home in the Hollywood Hills as the 15-year couple breaks apart at the seams. Endure Skylar’s psychological breaks, warping their home and even Skylar herself in a tinsel-toned nightmare echoing shades of Mouthwashing meets La La Land and Midsommar. Sneak and hide through shifting labyrinthian rooms, ruined memories, and liminal spaces in hopes of surviving the emotional onslaught. As Skylar’s new form hunts Gabe, dark truths emerge, shedding a dangerous light on both their realities — or whatever remains of them.

“It’s hard not to want to be like the perfect couples we see on TV,” said Ben Escobar, founder of Genie Boy Games. “Sweetheart shapeshifts these thoughts into a surreal tragedy that examines the early 2000s era as major networks turned children into stars, and the intense fallout of humanity it may have left in its wake. Between the horror and comedic elements lies an authentic, meaningful tale revolving around the stigma of mental illness, the gray areas of dependent identities, and ultimately overcoming abuse in a relationship.”

Check out the debut Sweetheart trailer revealed today at Future Games Show Live here! Contain love’s broken dreams when Sweetheart launches on Steam for Windows PC, Mac, and Linux, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch next year.

Explore the depths of Playtime Co. as the Smiling Critters while working to build a mysterious location for an even more mysterious voice 

Los Angeles, August 26, 2026 – Today, Mob Entertainment, the studio behind the hit horror franchise Poppy Playtime, revealed Escape From Playtime, a new 1-4 player online co-op game that sends players back into the infamous Playtime Co. factory from the perspective of the cute-yet-disturbing Smiling Critters. Tasked with scavenging materials for a mysterious building project that promises escape from the factory, players will need to work together and follow instructions from an ominous voice lurking somewhere in the shadows, all while evading the factory’s most dangerous denizens. 

“We’ve always loved the idea that Playtime Co. is this huge, awful place with more hiding inside of it than anyone has seen,” said Brandon James, Game Director, Mob Entertainment. “Paired with our passion for exploring and building multiplayer experiences in this world, where Escape From Playtime started, and working together with our community, we’re creating a game that will continue to deliver excitement and surprises. And of course a good jump scare or two.”

Escape From Playtime is a co-op survival horror game set deep inside the abandoned Playtime Co. factory. Players take on the roles of the Smiling Critters, the dead-eyed toy line with gaping smiles first introduced in Poppy Playtime: Chapter 3, and explore classrooms, warehouses, testing labs, and the dark corridors connecting them all.

Played solo or with up to three other players, each run sends teams into a dynamically changing section of the facility to find and transport resources for a mysterious Voice. The materials are needed to help build a promised home for toys who prove their loyalty and usefulness. Simple enough, except the factory is filled with rejected Playtime Co. creations stalking the halls. Players will need to search quickly, choose when to split up or stick together, and know when it is time to retreat.

Along the way, players can solve puzzles, uncover clues, scavenge tools, use hiding spots and alternate routes, and turn the factory layout to their advantage. Proximity voice chat adds another risk: communication is essential, but an irresponsible whisper can bring the mission to a brutal end.

As runs are completed, Escape From Playtime reveals a deeper connection to the larger Poppy Playtime story. The Voice promises freedom and a home, but its motives remain unclear. Every resource gathered feeds into something bigger. You are helping build something, but what, and why?

Key Features:

• Critter Co-Op: Play solo or team up with up to 3 friends in a fight for survival inside Playtime Co. More Critters means more ground covered and more chances for something to go horribly wrong, all enabled with proximity voice chat. 
• The Voice: A mysterious Voice sends players into the facility to collect scattered parts and resources. Gather what you need, bring it back safely, and try not to ask too loudly who or what you are really working for.
• Scavenge to Survive: Use whatever the factory gives you to stay alive. Search for tools, uncover clues, find hiding spots, create distractions, and use alternate routes to outmaneuver the rejected Playtime Co. creations stalking the halls.
• Mini Mode: Crawl, jump, and climb through every nook and cranny of the Playtime Co. factory as a Smiling Critter and experience some of the most iconic Poppy Playtime locations through a new (smaller) set of eyes.
• Familiar and New: It’s Playtime Co. as you know it, with a twist. The mysterious Voice seems to be altering the factory’s layout, creating procedurally generated environments that change with each run.

EARLY ACCESS

Escape From Playtime is being built with Early Access in mind, giving players a strong core loop at launch while leaving room for the community to help shape future growth. The initial release is planned to include the full eight-character Smiling Critter roster, one starter zone, and a core enemy lineup. Future updates are expected to expand the game with new zones, Critters, features, and refinements informed by player feedback.

Founded in 2015 by brothers Zach and Seth Belanger, Mob Entertainment is an independent entertainment company dedicated to creating unconventional stories and unforgettable characters. The studio is responsible for Poppy Playtime, the globally successful mascot horror franchise.

Traveling to an isolated star system to check on reports of increased Chaos activity, playable characters Ultramarine Malum Caedo and Sister of Battle Nyra Veyrath soon find themselves facing the wrath of Vashtorr the Arkifane.

Now Malum and Nyra must race from world to world to cleanse the corruption powering Vashtorr’s daemonic machinations – and to stand a chance of banishing the demigod back to the Warp.

Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 continues where the original Boltgun left off, bringing unrepentant strafing action and an increased variety of killer weapon selection to fans. Battle fan-favorite foes like the sassy plague-spreading Nurglings and Chaos Cultists, as well as all-new enemies.
