With millions of sales recorded on Steam alone, Poppy Playtime stands as one of the most prosperous indie horror titles of the decade. The game consists of four episodic chapters, numerous spin-offs, and an expanding array of merchandise—including a live-action film adaptation currently in the works.
New Add-On Details
The Missouri-based studio has partnered with Dutch developer Spark Universe to create the Minecraft add-on titled Huggy and Friends, which was dropped on October 14. This pack enhances the classic sandbox game with five unique Poppy Playtime monsters: Huggy Wuggy, Mommy Long Legs, CatNap, The Doctor, and Doey the Doughman. Offered at a price of 990 Minecoins, it translates to approximately $5.99, aligning with the cost of a 960+60 Minecoin package.
Unique Traits of the New Monsters
The launch of this add-on was celebrated with a whimsical cinematic trailer showcasing two Minecraft adventurers being pursued by Poppy Playtime’s terrifying toy monsters. These characters do not merely act as skins; they are formatted as new mobs featuring distinctive AI behavior and encounter mechanics. For instance, Huggy Wuggy aggressively chases players, while Mommy Long Legs engages them in disturbing games, and CatNap brings dreamlike disruptions. Each character offers a unique layer of horror alongside the new gameplay experience.
Conclusion
The Huggy and Friends pack promises to shift Minecraft into a genuine survival horror adventure. Players surviving the challenges might earn special GrabPack abilities, such as leaping, grappling, burning, and shocking, alongside new wearable cosmetics inspired by Poppy Playtime characters: GrabPack, Huggy Wuggy Head, Kissy Missy Head, DogDay Pajamas, and CatNap Pajamas.
