About the console ports

First of all, as unveiled in August, Cawthon verified that console ports for FNAF are under development. Originally, Cawthon made that announcement way back in 2016.

The Clickteam developer is in charge of these HD ports for Five Nights at Freddy's original games. As stated by Cawthon, they're working on those newly introduced ports and currently hitting 20% progress. After their completion, the versions will come to Xbox One, Switch, and PS4. Moreover, those ports are receiving an airing on both Android and iOS as well as having an improved HD guise.

Regarding the new upcoming game

However, ideas seemed to keep coming towards Cawthon to make another sequel for his exceptionally amazing series. The creator himself unveiled that “Into Madness” would be the name for his upcoming game. The potential release will be a collection of some preceding gameplay ideas and is likely to be free-to-play. Nonetheless, Cawthon did inform the public about the uncertainty of its release, in quite a jokey manner.

However, Cawthon did point out that the movie isn’t coming out anytime soon. The man didn’t like the initial movie script and decided to let go of it. According to him, there was another idea for the movie that he liked better. Cawthon later explained that it was really challenging, not just for him, but for everyone to think of a good screenplay and plot for this movie. He is very committed to searching for a story that feels right, even though it takes time to do so. Cawthon will stick to what he always said, either he made the right movie, or no movies will be made.

Cawthon himself doesn’t like to delay the project any further, especially when there were many delays in the past. However, as a scriptwriter, he has to think very thoroughly about what’s coming in the movie. Cawthon emphasizes that he must trust his instincts on what he thinks will be the catch for the fans. Even if he has to go through the planning stage 10 more times, that is what the man would do.
