‘Five Nights at Freddy’s is Coming to Consoles

Published

I’m asked the same question again and again: when will I, a lowly console owner with nary a modicum of experience with a mouse and keyboard, have the opportunity to experience what it feels like to be hunted by the monstrous machinations in the Five Nights at Freddy’s series of freakishly popular indie horror games? If you’ve been playing vicariously through the likes of Pewdiepie or Markiplier — or yours truly, since I have and never will be above shameless plugs, even if they only serve to remind me how I desperately need to return to the YouTubes — then I have some good news for you.

Five Nights at Freddy’s series creator Scott Cawthon recently, and quietly, confirmed the series isn’t merely coming to consoles, they’re being remade for consoles.

“Actually, yes! It will happen. I’m talking with a few companies who are interested in doing console remakes of the original games,” revealed Cawthon when a fan asked if there was “any chance one of your games may get ported to a console?” It sounds as if a console release isn’t likely to happen this year, but it absolutely makes sense for such a successful series to expand its platform support.

In related news, Five Nights at Freddy’s is getting a spin-off dubbed Sister Location, because duh?

Three horror powerhouses are coming together for The Monkey, an adaptation of the Stephen King story that’s being produced by James Wan and directed by Osgood Perkins.

The Monkey is a short horror story that appeared in Skeleton Crew, a 1985 collection that also featured The Mist, The Jaunt, The Raft, Survivor Type, The Reach, and more.

Osgood Perkins (The Blackcoat’s Daughter, Gretel & Hansel, the upcoming Longlegs) wrote the screenplay for the feature film adaptation and he also directed the upcoming movie.

“In The Monkey, when twin brothers Hal and Bill discover their father’s old monkey toy in the attic, a series of gruesome deaths starts occurring all around them. The brothers decide to throw the monkey away and move on with their lives, growing apart over the years.

“But when the mysterious deaths begin again, the brothers must reunite to find a way to destroy the monkey for good before it takes the lives of everyone close to them.”

James Wan is producing with Atomic Monster partner Michael Clear (M3GAN), and C2 Motion Picture Group’s Jason Cloth (Joker) and Dave Caplan (Babylon).
