Five Nights at Freddy’s 4 gets a new trailer and updated release date

2 min read

NOPE

To this day, I cannot fathom how Five Nights at Freddy’s has seen so many sequels so quickly. I mean, the very first game came out on August the 8th 2014 – not even a full year ago. It seems those evil animatronics wont be dying anytime soon though, as a 4th title is on the way. Its just received a new trailer and release date, and will be launching very soon.

When Five Nights at Freddy’s 4 was first teased in April, it was to be unleashed on Halloween. The developer, Scott Cawthon, has changed his mind however. He has pushed forward his schedule, bringing the release date a whole lot closer. He sent the following email to popular YouTuber, Dawko, who shared it on Reddit (via PC Gamer):

Hey Dawko,

Ok, here is some new for you, and you’re welcome to make a youtube video to announce it if you want!

I’m going to release Five Nights at Freddy’s 4 on august 8th for the 1-year anniversary of Five Nights at Freddy’s. To keep the Halloween date special however, I’ll be working on a free update with extra content to release October 31st. I also plan on having a trailer ready for next weekend!

That’s the news! Do with it what you want!

– Scott

Again, how the hell are we on title number 4 in the space of a year? I’m not even mad… that’s amazing!

Anyways, I first saw the Reddit post yesterday, and I was skeptical about it being legit. I mean, the Internet is big fake playground after all. It seems the earlier launch date is for real though. The following image went up on IndieDB, and is titled “8815” – the 8th of August 2015 no doubt. (via Siliconera):

4.2

The very same image sits on Scott’s official website. Still need more proof? Fine! The game got its very first trailer yesterday, and it looks all sorts of NOPE. Apparently the animatronics are now into house visits…

Hell. No. I don’t think I could bring myself to play that at all!

What about you? Are you excited for FNAF4? The release is less than a month away now!

            I like smacking the flies, then ripping off a wing and some legs, then leaving them out as little take away snacks for the spiders and ants. Circle of life baby!

            The experience has pushed me to learn more about them so that I can try and tell the difference between venomous and the normal garden variety, luckily I have a rambo down the street that catches them.

            As much as I’ve tried, I simply can’t…I can handle lizards all the way to a crocodile, but a snake….joh, nee, uh uh nee…The reason? Well, when I was small, my grand dad had two dogs, one day they found a puff adder in a pipe. His foreman had a torn t shirt on and was lurking around in the background, dogs went into said pipe, pulled said snake apart and came out each end with half a snake each….shaking the piece, one dog let go…I bared witness to how the tail end of a snake flew into the back of the foremans’ shirt, missing me by a very small margin…we found him sprinting at full speed 3km down the farm road…still screaming….and at full gallop….

    never actually played this game. never wanted to. but i’ve seen people ‘freak out’ while playing it on youtube and i cant understand the appeal. people are paying for one big jump scare? is that what it is? maybe i’ve been spoiled by silent hills and resident evils most of my life but this game seems like a terrible one trick pony to me. am i missing something here?
