Newest Five Nights At Freddy's Game Suddenly Appears And Is Full Of Twists
Scott Cawthon, creator of the Five Nights at Freddy's series, has released a game on PC today that really goes some places.
The game, titled Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator, was released all of a sudden on Steam with very little in the ways of description or screenshots, showing an 8-Bit sidescroller with titular character Freddy Fazbear collecting and designing pizzas. Of course, since this is a Scott Cawthon game, what you see is never what you really get, and the game takes a hard left turn a few chapters in.
I'll leave it to you to figure out where the game goes after that, but it definitely isn't what I expected. You can check out the game for free on Steam right now, no other platforms have been announced.
Our Take
I'm a little tired of this series, but free experimental games that mess with your expectations are probably the best way to continue it.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
