Five Nights at Freddy’s: Security Breach Gameplay Trailer Reveals New December Launch Date

Although the initial Five Nights at Freddy’s IP originated as a small, self-made project, the series has grown into an expansive franchise stretching across more than a handful of canonical releases and bridging to fan-made creations that are treated alike the originals as well. So much so that creator Scott Cawthon shared to be investing his own capitol into fan creations as well.

So when it was announced that Steel Wool Studios will be conjuring the first AAA Five Nights at Freddy’s game, it was only a matter of time before it arrives. However, that day has yet to arrive. Following its reveal, Steel Wool Studios went on to press that the title is not prepared to ship in 2020 and instead is aimed to arrive in the latter half of 2021 later on.

From the PlayStation State of Play showcase, Steel Wool Studios returns with a new gameplay trailer featuring a December release for the project. You can watch the new gameplay footage in the video below:

“The animatronics Roxy, Chica, and Monty have been enlisted by Pizzaplex security to hunt you, and their pursuit is a relentless one. Strategizing how you’ll get past enemies is paramount to avoid those actively pursuing you, as well as more passive S.T.A.F.F. bots that will sound the alarm and call the animatronics to your location if they spot you,” Steel Wool Studios Executive Producer Ray McCaffery tells.

“In the event you’re detected, run to escape the immediate danger quickly, but running is limited to the amount of stamina you’ve got, so use it wisely.The animatronics also evolve as the night progresses, which means you’ll need to adapt if you want to survive. Freddy Fazbear himself is your most dependable ally, acting as a guide and protector through the Pizzaplex, giving you shortcuts, insider tips, and warnings about the challenges you’ll face.

“You can also hop inside Freddy’s oversized birthday-cake-hatch, allowing you to hide and march around undetected. You will need to be thoughtful about how and when you use Freddy because he’s only got so much power and requires frequent stops at recharge stations.”

Previously, series founder Scott Cawthon announced he will be stepping down from helming the series in search to find a candidate to take the throne from what he built himself. You can read the full report by heading here.
