Next Five Nights at Freddy's Game Teased

Sister Location.

44 Comments

Five Nights at Freddy's creator Scott Cawthon has updated his website with a cryptic teaser for what appears to be the next game in the series of possibly a spinoff.

No Caption Provided

The website mentions Five Nights at Freddy's by name, as well as what could be the game's subtitle: "Sister Location." A tagline is also on the page, and it reads: "There was never just one."

That line, along with the title "Sister Location," would suggest that the next Five Nights at Freddy's game could be set in a different location, separate from the earlier entries in the series. There is also a spooky face in the background that matches up with the look of past games in the franchise.

The first Five Nights at Freddy's debuted in August 2014 on PC and has since been ported to iOS.

Three sequels have been released since, while spinoff Five Nights at Freddy's World came out in January this year. However, it was removed from sale after complaints that it had been released too early and felt unfinished.

What are you hoping to see from Sister Location? Let us know in the comments below!

I have mixed feelings on this...

On one hand I can't be mad at him or his games, they are really small (you can beat the main 4 games in 1 hour each) and ridiculously cheap, so having audience wanting more is good and good on him for releasing even more

On the other hand... It is at this point where it really feels like flat out milking, the appeal of these games ran its course and nowadays many find their mere mention to be obnoxious, and it doesn't help that Scott is doing this after saying 4 was going to be the end... If he wants to make more, good for him, but at this rate the burnout from the FNAF franchise is going to sting hard (it was already setting in by the time the 4th game and the world spinoff were out)

I'll give him this. Even when he's already made too many he doesn't give up on a franchise. He's the indie developer that most wants to be like Activision or modern day Ubisoft.

Well done, Scott. Well done.

@cornbredx: Like you'd be any different. Tens of thousands of people shoving their cash in your face, in advance, demanding you crap out whatever piece of trash you can muster just to satisfy them. Your response? "Nah, 'cause artistic integrity and all that'".

Yeah, bullshit.

Some of you are such hypocritical idiots. You wing about indie developers not getting enough support and triple a games being bad then you attack this guy for bringing his stuff to the party

@fordy269: Yay! Some common sense. Cauthon has made a bigger, and genuinely enjoyable, contribution to gaming than any of these internet trolls ever will.

There was a time when I wanted to play Five Nights at Freddy's. When the first one came out it seemed pretty cool. And then there was a second and I amused I was late to hear about the first one. And then there were 4, before I'd even sure the third had been released. And then I wasn't excited anymore. I didn't want to play the first one, because why not the newest ones where he (it's one guy right) has had time polish his formula? But I didn't really want to play those because there'd be a new one out before I could get around to them. If he'd just slooowed down on releasing them, people like would have bought the first one and then maybe the second (or third...) if we liked the first. But now I don't know anyone who plays it and I think gaming sites cover it mostly for because it generates clicks and angry comments.

The games are cool and all, but I don't like how Cauthon markets these things. It's mostly deceit. Still, it's nice to see a guy go from a dollar store cashier to being a successful dev. The gaming world is all the better for it no matter what the haters say.

I don't blame the guy for making more. He made something, alot of people liked it and he has been successful from it. They are not really my thing, but if he makes more and people play them more power to him and the fans.

@CapmJim: It's really more about the mystery by this point. The mechanics have always been flawed except for the third game but by that point the haters took over so you wouldn't know it was an improvement.

Right when I thought this series was finally dead, here's another game... I hope fans of the series get something out of it, though. As stupid as I think the series is, I don't wish ill on the fans (the sane ones, anyway).

Who still invests in this trash after 4 effortless piles of shit? This is literally a slideshow of a handful of pictures with some sounds. Wow.

This is the type of thing that will be looked back upon in another 5 or 6 years and laughed at hysterically, while leaving some scratching their heads as to why they ever spent a cent on this junk. How you're ever dumb or just mentality inept enough, to be entertained by this shit, is beyond me.

@datriax: You're going way too hard at something a lot of people enjoy. Everybody likes different stuff, so who cares if this exists? There are too many laughable games I bought or got as a gift when I was younger. Nostalgia alone will make me laugh at my past video game purchases, and many of those were some of the best games developed at that time.

People mature and then they have different interests. NOBODY will look back and feel anything negative about what entertained them 5 or 6 years ago. Who would care? If it's beyond you, it's just not for you, so you definitely shouldn't be tripping about it.

Now it is really stupid. Not only Scott said 4th will be the last one, now he makes everything "harder to understand". What's next? In FNaF 6 it will be 3RD DINNER? WHAT A SPIN.
I actually liked FNaF lore etc, but that's just really dumb now.

What do I want? VR.

You're looking at actual TV monitors, but they're spread around you so you can't see all of them at once. And sometimes you have to even peek under your desk.

I would've thought he'd hang it up after the Freddy World debacle but I guess it's easy money because people eat this stuff up.

I'm still surprised that these games have yet to be ported to consoles.

@LPDisturbedHU: He doesn't have that kind of business so it's not a very good example on your part. You seem to think he has a dev studio with hundreds of people. I hate to break this to you, but he does not. One man can only do so much. I think he's taking the smarter approach and making sequels rather than porting to unnecessary (for this particular franchise) platforms.

@cornbredx: Are you saying that he can't take a break from making new entries to bring FNAF to another highly profitable set of platforms? Are you insane?

You're right, one man can only do so much, but those games make him so much money that he could afford to work on porting over games in the PC space over to consoles and make easy money. Plenty of other devs do and I'm sure many of them were in worse scenarios than the creator of FNAF.

Not to mention that wasn't even your original argument! You said they didn't need to be a console because they make money on mobile! You even forgot to mention the fact they were originally popular PC games, NOT JUST TABLETS!

Don't act like you know everything, it just makes you look like an ass.

@LPDisturbedHU: Well, how much money he actually makes is purely speculation on both of our parts, but I realize now that your one of those people that only fights with people (we call them assholes where I come from) so there is no real discussion here. This donkey is out hot shot.

Have fun making arguments with people who were never arguing with you big guy.

@cornbredx: He got a movie deal, I think he's doing just dandy.

And you're the one who started the fight! You pretty much told me it wouldn't make any sense to port the games over to console!

Seems like someone isn't willing to discuss a subject once he realizes he's lost. Especially after he gets called out for being a jerk and pretty much telling me that I don't know what I'm talking about.

Good luck on your retreat, buddy.

@7tizz: It's a game mostly intended for touch screen interfaces. That's why it's not on consoles. It might work on WiiU though.

@7tizz: Yes, I believe it is on steam. It started there if I recall.

I mean I see what you're getting at, but it just seems unnecessary to port this game to consoles when it's interface works well for touch screens and does well enough there. Everyone has some kind of computer that could run it so consoles seem unnecessary for this game.

Although, I don't know his bottom line so I can't speak to how easily he even could port these games. It seems like he focuses more on making more of them than actually porting them all over the place.

I understand why he focuses more on the mobile market. It's actually bigger than consoles and if you hit it big there you can be set for a really long time (at least right now). It's much more difficult to deal with the publishers on XBOX and PS4. And you have to go through all kinds of hoops. It's possible, especially as an indie dev, he just doesn't want to deal with it.

Or maybe he knows how fleeting the series' popularity is and he's trying his best to stay on top of it for as long as he can milk it. Why not? I mean he has the people lapping this stuff up- kids love it (I speak from experience as my niece plays it a lot) and I'm sure at least some amount of adults do too.

It could also be that making the business too big is too much for him right now and porting the game to consoles would require more of that. But again I only speculate based on what the game is and how he seems to develop his games. I don't know his actual intentions. From my perspective, the way he's handling it is smart, business wise.
