You know what Christmas was missing? Unprecedented fear of being chased by creepy killer robots through a shopping mall. Five nights in Freddy: Security breach launched last night, pitting players against a whole new set of animations. This is the eighth main game in the long-running pizzeria-based horror series (I know, there are plenty of side stories) and for the first time it will allow players to roam freely, rather than being trapped. bound to the desk. surveillance cameras.
(And yes, I know that Sister Location and FNAF VR don’t lock you into the camera, but they still won’t let you run around.)
Security Breach is a first-person survival horror game where you play as a kid named Gregory. He’s trapped inside a Pizzaplex (lol) and needs to survive until morning while uncovering the truth about monstrous animatronics programmed to hunt down intruders.
Interestingly, he will be helped by Freddy himself, who has been a major Deathbot in most other games. Then again, in most of the other games we played as adult characters (mostly night guards). There’s a hint in old FNAF lore that bots are possessed by the spirits of dead children (fun stuff), so maybe Freddy is protecting this boy so he doesn’t become a machine killing.
We’ll still see hints of old-school FNAF games, as Gregory can access security cameras in the building to plan escape routes. This seems like a horror game where you can’t fight monsters, you need to run and hide, and developers Steel Wool Studios say there are points where you should sneak in for danger. pass.
Five Nights At Freddy’s: Security Breach is out now On steam priced at £34/€40/$40. It also launches on PS4 and PS5. Learn more about Developer’s site.
I’m super excited about this game, mainly because me and my friends always catch each other playing different FNAF games around Halloween. They’re going to D&D this weekend, so I might have to insist on a little bit of dread to break up the adventure. I was curious to see what Security Breach was like considering how it differed from the rest of the series.
It is worth noting that the author of the series Scott Cawthon retires this year to focus attention on his family. He announced this shortly after fans discovered he had donated large sums of money to politicians who have repeatedly protested LGBTQ+ rights. At the moment, it remains unclear who will lead the future FNAF games after Security Breach.
