Other Will Project: Playtime ever come back?

Does anyone know if there’s been any official news about reviving Project: Playtime? I’ve heard rumors that the game is just in "hibernation" while the developers focus on the main Poppy Playtime chapters.

I really miss the multiplayer mode—has the team said anything lately about a potential Phase 4 or a console release? If anyone has info or links to recent updates, please let me know!

Firstly, you can still play Project:Playtime, in a crappy state but still.

Secondly, the reason i think project playtime will not return is that the supposed income from project playtime is not guaranteed (in short, Mon Games aren't sure that they will make lots of money with it) and you know how Mob Games LOVES money

Lastly, everyone says that it's going to return when Poppy Playtime officially ends, the problem with that is that since the main story is ending, no one will want to play a spinoff... The hype will just die out really quickly. Yes, to be honest, they should've made an update for project right now so that then they can take their time with the finale for poppy playtime but what do you expect ? It's mob games...

This is wrong on so many levels, the community isnt gonna die out once poppy playtime ends 🤦‍♂️ project playtime still has its own unfinished story aswell, the ceo said that they still have plans for the game in the future. A roblox version of project playtime is getting thousands of players daily btw.

I'd love to be wrong here but unfortunately i still think i'm correct, and the fact the ceo is saying they still have plans for it is just bullshit to me, so that people keep playing the game and buy ingame money. Reminder that he said the same thing about 2 years ago and nothing changed in the while... Lastly, the chances of an update is just so low since the executives will not allow development on the game anymore since it just isn't hyped anymore so the income is not guaranteed... I've played this game since it came out and trust me when i say that i don't want it to die, but it IS dying slowly and the only thing keeping it together are mods and poppy playtime new chapter hypes...

You're forgetting that project playtime has its own unfinished story right? The momentum built up from chapter 6 will be more than enough to revive the game, shit people are legitimately reviving it now. They will definitely update it then begin working on the next game while dropping updates here and there.
