New Five Nights at Freddy’s Game Revealed

• Five Nights at Freddy’s: Into the Pit is a pixel-art side scroller set to be released in 2024, possibly around the franchise’s 10th anniversary in August.
• The game appears to be based on a Fazbear Frights story and stars Oswald as the protagonist.
• Developed by Mega Cat Studios, creator of WrestleQuest and Bite the Bullet, Into the Pit has the potential to become a big hit through its combination of pixel art and the franchise’s unique brand of horror.

A new Five Nights at Freddy’s game was prematurely announced after its trailer leaked earlier this week. Five Nights at Freddy’s creator Scott Cawthon offered his thoughts on the pixel-art side scroller’s future release.

Over the last decade, Five Nights at Freddy’s became one of the horror genre’s biggest franchises. 2023’s Five Nights at Freddy’s movie performed exceptionally well at the box office, earning over $300 million on a reported budget of only $20 million. The series took major steps to evolve from its roots, which lie in survival horror point-and-click games. Since 2014’s introductory Five Nights at Freddy’s, the franchise released games with elements from other genres like first-person survival horror, business simulation, role-playing, and more. Following the reveal of the series’ newest game, it seems that Five Nights at Freddy’s will continue that trend.
