Two years after its explosive debut, Garten of Banban has evolved from “janky meme horror” to something even stranger—a full-blown franchise with six chapters, merch deals, and a cult following that would make even Huggy Wuggy nervous.

But in 2025’s crowded horror landscape (looking at you, Poppy Playtime Chapter 4 and Rainbow Friends: Reborn), does Banban still hold the crown? Let’s break it down.


1. The State of Banban in 2025

What’s New?

  • Chapter 6 Just Dropped: Introducing Professor Lethalicus, a mad scientist who makes pastel-colored horrors (yes, it’s as unhinged as it sounds).
  • Console Ports: Now on PS5/Switch, complete with glorious 4K jank.
  • The “Banban-verse”: Spin-off games (Opila Bird’s Revenge), plushies, and even a roblox fan game takeover.

The Big Question:
Did the devs (Euphoric Brothers) polish the formula, or double down on chaos?


2. Why Banban Won’t Die (The 2025 Appeal)

✅ The “Anti-Horror” Horror Game

  • In 2025, where Poppy Playtime leans into ARGs and Rainbow Friends goes full lore-heavy, Banban stays gloriously stupid.
  • New villain Stinger Flynn isn’t scary—he’s a helicopter squid with a cowboy hat. Why? Nobody knows.

✅ Streamer Crack

  • Twitch clips of Jumbo Josh’s deranged new voice lines go viral weekly.
  • Perfect for YouTube Shorts: “10 Seconds of Banban Nonsense” comps get millions.

✅ So Bad It’s Legendary

  • The Chapter 5 “plot twist” (Banban was a clone???) broke brains.
  • Fans now unironically analyze the “lore” like it’s Twin Peaks.

3. The 2025 Competition: How Banban Stacks Up

Game Scare Factor Lore Depth Meme Potential
Garten of Banban 😅 (2/5) ❓ (???) 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Poppy Playtime Ch4 😱 (5/5) 📼 (4/5) 🌟🌟🌟☆☆
Rainbow Friends 2 😨 (3/5) 🎨 (3/5) 🌟🌟🌟🌟☆

Verdict: Banban loses on scares… but wins the internet.


4. The Flaws in 2025: Is the Jank Still Charming?

⚠️ The Rough Edges Show

  • Chapter 6’s “boss fight” is just running in circles for 10 minutes.
  • Voice acting sounds like someone’s uncle doing a bit.

💀 The Lore Has Collapsed

  • The “story” now involves time travel, clones, and a sentient gummy bear.
  • Fans argue if it’s genius or a dev team trolling us.

5. The Future: Banban in 2026 and Beyond

🔮 Predictions:

  • Banban movie (leaked as “fast-tracked” by Blumhouse??).
  • Chapter 7 might finally explain… anything. Or not.
  • Will it pull a FNaF and last a decade, or burn out like Baldi?

Final Verdict (2025 Edition)

🎭 Play Banban If:

  • You miss early FNaF energy (weird > polished).
  • Want a game that doesn’t take itself seriously.
  • Need content for your channel (this is free views).

🚪 Skip If:

  • You think “so bad it’s good” is a cop-out.
  • Prefer Atmospheric Horror (play Lethal Company 2 instead).

🔥 2025 Hot Take:
Banban isn’t just a game—it’s a social experiment. And in 2025, it’s winning.
