Steel Wool Studios announced on October 28th that it will release “Five Nights at Freddy’s: Security Breach” on December 16th this year at the “State of Play”. Supported platforms are PlayStation 4 / PlayStation 5. Previous announcements have foretold a three-month timed monopoly. Along with the announcement, a new gameplay trailer for the game was also released.
The “Five Nights at Freddy’s” series is a survival horror game created by individual developer Scott Cawthon and launched in 2014. In the first film, the player was set to survive a horrifying night as a night watchman at a pizza restaurant with strange rumors. The mascots of restaurants and the animal-themed machines “animatronics” are attacking. The series has gained popularity due to its unique world view and live gameplay, and sequels and spin-offs are being developed. Although it is a first-person perspective, it features a point-and-click gameplay that progresses by clicking on elements on the screen.
On the other hand, in the gameplay video of “Five Nights at Freddy’s: Security Breach”, you can see how you can move around the facility like other first-person horror games. Also, it seems that there is an element to see the state of animatronics with a security camera like the past work. At the vast pizza shop Mega Pizza Plex, which is the setting of this work, it seems that you can explore and escape with a high degree of freedom. In addition, there are also fresh elements such as the depiction of a female security guard who seems to be the main character, making a noise and piercing the gap of animatronics, and stealth play that moves while avoiding discovery by “boarding” Freddie. It is included.
The development of this work is being led by Steel Wool Studios, who worked on “Five Nights at Freddy’s: Help Wanted”. Scott Games by Cawthon mentioned above is also involved in this work, but he has announced that he will retire from the line of the “Five Nights at Freddy’s” series around June this year (related article). In a statement, Cawthon said he would put the series in the hands of credible developers. I’m looking forward to seeing what kind of play Steel Wool Studios, which has been entrusted with the development of the new work, will deliver in this work.
“Five Nights at Freddy’s: Security Breach” will be released for PlayStation 4 / PlayStation 5 on December 16th. In addition, a three-month timed monopoly has been announced, and it is expected that it will be expanded to other platforms from such a background.
