It’s weird to see Five Nights At Freddy’s grow from a simple jumping care party to a full-fledged first-person horror game where you have to run and hide from deathbots, but here we are. During Sony’s State Of Play live stream last night, they unveiled Five Nights at Freddy’s: Security Breach would be launched in 2021, and we watched the game properly for the first time. Players will explore a mall at night, dive into balls and run through closed shops to avoid being chased by bloodthirsty animatronics.
There’s a little bit in this trailer where a scary, clumsy robot crawls out of a slide into a children’s play area, and I want absolutely nothing of it. I have not been in a mall for more than a year and I do not think I will ever want to do it again.
Security Breach is the biggest game in the series yet, moving away from the almost point-and-click style of the older games to a first-person experience where players can freely explore this giant shopping mall. It seems to stem from the FNAF VR game, Help Wanted, and is made by the same developers, Steel Wool Studios.
Admittedly, I’m one of the people who really likes Five Nights At Freddy’s interest – if you can call it lore, it’s mostly just like reading conspiracy theories – so I’m pretty excited for this one. Well, I’m excited to buy the game, upload it, and then immediately pass the controller on to someone else and see how it plays.
Five Nights at Freddy’s: Security Breach will hit PC, PS4 and PS5 sometime this year.
If you excuse me now, I’ll wait for all the FNAF theory YouTubers to post new videos. I bet they had a field day with the trailer.
