Report: Five Nights at Freddy's 3 already in development
It appears that only two months after the launch of Five Nights at Freddy's 2, developer Scott Cawthon is returning to the world of twitchy night watchmen and deadly pizzeria animatronics for Five Nights at Freddy's 3. The photo you see above recently appeared on Cawthon's website under the name "fnaf3.jpg." Viewing this as more than coincidence, PC Gamer attempted to contact Cawthon for some sort of confirmation that Five Nights at Freddy's 3 was in development. While they weren't able to speak to Cawthon directly, he did send over a revealing auto-reply email. "Five Nights at Freddy's 3 is in production," the message stated. "Please do not email me asking any questions about it; NO questions about FNaF3 will be read or answered!" Obviously Cawthon offered no further details on the game, but that does sound like confirmation of its existence. For those unaware, the Five Nights at Freddy's games cast players as a security guard who must survive the night alone in a Chuck E. Cheese-style pizzeria where all the mechanical critters have become murderous. These are simple games, relying on limited movement options and quick reflexes, but they've become beloved among the Let's Play set for their effective jump scares and overwhelming tension.

Animatronics stalk Steam again in Five Nights At Freddy's 2
It's been four months since Five Nights At Freddy's reminded us all that animatronic critters are almost certainly murderous, yet developer Scott Cawthon has already released the sequel. According to Cawthon's description of the game on Steam, Five Nights At Freddy's 2 casts players in much the same role they played in the first game, that of a night watchman at a Chuck E. Cheese-esque pizza parlor inhabited by animatronic birds, bears and other animals. As you've suspected since childhood, these robotic entities come to life at night and roam the hallways searching for blood. If they make their way into the security room, your hapless watchman will be brutally killed. The goal of the game, as its title suggests, is to survive five increasingly difficult nights trapped in the pizza parlor with your metallic stalkers. Alongside the animatronics seen in the original Five Nights At Freddy's, the sequel adds "a new cast of characters," and grants players their own faux Freddy Fazbear head that, when worn, will fool the animatronics into thinking you're one of them. Five Nights At Freddy's 2 is currently available on PC at a price of $8. [Image: Scott Cawthon]
