After spending the last couple weeks teasing his next project, Five Nights at Freddy’s series creator Scott Cawthon took to Steam today to announce the game ahead of schedule — as well as to confirm, again, that there really won’t be a Five Nights 5.
“It’s very important for me to say again that there will NOT be a Five Nights at Freddy’s 5. The story is complete, and the Halloween update and new game will not add to it.”
Rather than stick with the formula that made him into Scrooge McDuck’s real world equivalent, Cawthon is working on an RPG set in that universe called Five Nights at Freddy’s World.
“It will not be a horror game, but a role playing game where you create a party using the huge selection of characters from the FNaF games, including the classic, withered, toy, phantom, and nightmare versions.”
The more ambitious scope of this project means we likely won’t be seeing a demo in time for Halloween. You can find the full announcement over here.
