It doesn’t seem like it, but it has actually been 5 years since the first Five Nights at Freddy’s game came to PC and mobile and took the world by storm. Since then, it has spawned numerous sequels, spin-offs, and books. That said, the mobile scene of this horror series has been somewhat neglected in the past couple of years. The latest mobile title we got, Five Nights at Freddy’s: Sister Location, came out all the way back in early 2017, and the other mobile Freddy games have not received any update since their initial releases.
The series’ creator, Scott Cawthon, has said that he was not happy about the situation, but he also didn’t have enough time to do anything about that. That’s where the good news comes in: Cawthon has reached a deal with developer Clickteam to make remastered versions of the Five Nights at Freddy’s games on mobile to improve their quality. Check out a before/after comparison between the remaster and the current version below:
This Five Nights at Freddy’s remaster will use the high-res assets from the PC version and add a better user interface as well as plenty of other improvements and fixes. Other games, Five Nights at Freddy’s 2, 3, 4, and Sister Location, will also get the same treatment in the future.
The fun doesn’t end there either: The 2 newest Freddy games, Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria Simulator (2017) and Ultimate Custom Night (June 2018), are also getting their own mobile ports, again thanks to Clickteam.
As for when we’ll actually get our hands on all of these, the original Five Nights at Freddy’s should be remastered really soon, and then we’ll see Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria Simulator arrive on mobile next, followed by the Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 update. If there’s no change of plan, everything should take place in August – maybe dragging on a little bit into September – with the other projects coming at some point after. We’ll probably hear more about the specific dates in the next few weeks, so be sure to stay tuned!
