Scott Cawthon shocked everyone on April 27 with the release of this image on ScottGames.com:
This thing is nightmare fuel of the highest degree! And then just recently, Scott added another image, this tme depicting what appears to be the old withered bonnie, but with a face:
Both of these images seem to point towards even more horror inspiration entering the series. Both of these animatronics feature sharp teeth and claws, and Freddy appears to be some sort of eldritch abomination this time around, featuring several small versions of his head coming from his body.
But the most important thing about these games is the date: Halloween 2015. Two things that make this important. Firstly, this is the longest development cycle that any FNAF game has ever had. What this means in terms of gameplay is hard to say. Is it really going to take that long or does Scott just want a big release day on Halloween? The second thing this may point to is the theme. FNAF3 took place in a normal haunted house attraction that would run year round, but who's to say that someone else didn't find these old animatronics, and wanted to put them to use just on Halloween? I mean just looking at them we can see that they are clearly not meant to be hanging around children in a Pizzeria. So where the hell is this going to take place? It's still supposed to be "At Freddy's" according to the title. But Fazbear's Fright is burned to the ground, and the Pizzeria's were all shut down and couldn't possibly be functional as buildings unless someone else moved in and turned them into other businesses.
We have a long 5 and a half months ahead of us now, and all we can do is hypothesize and giggle in the meantime. What do you guys think? I personally think this is going to be great, I already am in love with the designs for Freddy and Bonnie, and cannot wait to see Chica!
UPDATE: Here's Chica!
