Five Nights At Freddy’s 4 Confirmed
Thought Five Nights At Freddy’s was over? Well think again. There aren’t a lot of people out there with the ability to drive the internet absolutely crazy with nothing but a single, static picture. But Scott Cawthon, the creator of the Five Nights At Freddy’s series, is one of those people. Earlier today an image appeared on his website, scottgames, of Springtrap – the main antagonist of his last game, Five Nights At Freddy’s 3. The corner of the image contains a caption reading “The final chapter,” and a 31st October release date. Plus, the file name of the image is “4”.
At the time of writing, the website was crashing two out of three times, so in case you’re unable to feast your eyeballs on the latest Five Nights At Freddy’s hype-machine, here it is:
Creepy, right? We’ve got Springtrap with what appear to be tiny Freddy heads poking out of his chest. But that’s not what’s got the fans in a tizz. The fans are freaking out because of the hat. Earlier in the year, Cawthon’s site featured this image:
Fans interpreted the image of Freddy’s hat on the floor to mean the series was finished. It was supposedly Cawthon’s way of saying he’d hung up his Freddy hat for good, the series concluded with the third installment. It was a fair assumption, considering the last game more or less tied up all the story’s loose ends (albeit in Cawthon’s cryptic way). But a few weeks ago that image was replaced with another:
Yes, Scott Cawthon can even get people to freak out over a blank image. Cawthon’s shown time and time again that there’s nothing he loves more than to tease his fans, and with the hat gone fans were going wild over the possibility of another game. It turns out they were right.
The Five Nights At Freddy’s series owes much of its success to its popularity with Let’s Players on YouTube, with all three of the previous games collecting millions of views across countless channels. Because, you know, if there’s one thing more enjoyable than playing a horror game, it’s watching other people play horror games. But outside of the Freddy fans, the reaction to the announcement of fourth Five Nights At Freddy’s is more along the lines of meh. There have been three Five Nights At Freddy’s games in the past nine months and people seem to be tiring of the franchise. Even Markiplier, who among the larger YouTube channels has spent the most time with the games, said during his playthrough of Five Nights At Freddy’s 3, “I don’t think this series needs another game.” Among those YouTubers who played the previous three games, there seems to be consensus that yes, they will of course play it, but it’s become a chore.
I love watching grown adults leap out of their chairs in terror as much as the next person, but the next Five Nights At Freddy’s better feature something that’s actually different to the last three.
Helldivers 2 proved to be a surprising success, highlighting the unpredictable nature of the gaming industry. As per Circana analyst Mat Piscatella, it currently ranks as Sony’s seventh highest grossing game in the United States to date, trailing behind a trio of Spider-Man titles, a couple of God of War games, and Ghost of Tsushima. It’s only been on the market for less than three months and is not even being sold at full price.
According to Piscatella, a significant factor contributing to the game’s success is its release on PC. He mentioned that, based on Circana’s Player Engagement Tracker, the game has consistently ranked first in terms of active users on Steam in the US since its launch, including April. The release of Helldivers 2 on both PlayStation and PC has been an extraordinary triumph.
He stated that Helldivers 2 has already become the seventh highest-grossing Sony-published game in history. Without a PC, it would not currently be considered one of the top 20 games. While I’m emphasizing the success of the PC SKU, it’s important to note that I’m not disregarding the success of the PlayStation SKU. I just wanted to clarify that. This launch has proven to be incredibly successful.
Prior to the release of Helldivers 2, Sony made it clear that they would be launching their live service-style titles simultaneously on both the PS5 and PC. The success of this approach will undoubtedly strengthen their strategic vision. It will be intriguing to witness if the company reveals official sales figures in the near future, as the title appears to be one of the platform holder’s most successful sellers to date.

The developer of Stellar Blade for the PS5 Expressing gratitude to the fans for their unwavering support amidst a recent controversy surrounding censorship
Shift Up, the Korean developer, seems to be reconsidering its contentious alterations to the Stellar Blade outfit. In a message to fans, they have urged everyone to stay tuned for updates and expressed gratitude for the passionate feedback from players. For those who may not be aware, a petition gained significant attention over the weekend when gamers discovered changes made to a few of the game’s costumes through a day-one patch.
The launch day update includes a fantastic New Game + mode, but some players were disappointed by the changes made to protagonist Eve’s outfit. These alterations sparked debates about censorship. Director Hyung-Tae Kim later clarified that this was the studio’s original vision, but he acknowledged that it may require further persuasion to win over users. Internal discussions were also underway to address any concerns.
Thanks to all our Stellar Blade fans for your passion & feedback. Stay tuned for updates🤍 pic.twitter.com/jCRzM4OQBS

There is no definitive confirmation regarding the reversal of the outfits, but considering the language used in the statement and the widespread controversy surrounding the alterations, it is highly likely that a future patch will restore the original costumes. If you want to get a sneak peek at all of Eve’s different outfits and learn how to unlock them, be sure to take a look at our comprehensive guide, All Outfits and How to Get Them.
It’s quite possible. Fans all over the world are interested in Shift Up’s highly anticipated action-adventure game, Stellar Blade. With its captivating post-apocalyptic setting reminiscent of Nier and a compelling protagonist named Eve, it’s no wonder the game has generated such widespread attention.
The game consistently impresses with its stunning visuals and high-octane action, leaving players in awe with each new trailer.
Yet, just like other noteworthy second-party and third-party game releases, fans are pondering: Will Stellar Blade be available on PC?
In this article, we delve into the details to determine the platform availability of the highly anticipated title.
Will Stellar Blade be available on PC? Allow me to provide you with the answer.
Unfortunately, Stellar Blade will not be available on PC, at least not initially. Currently, the game is only available on PlayStation 5 starting on April 26, 2024.
Regrettably, it appears that there is no indication of a potential PC release for Stellar Blade in the future. In most cases, trailers for PlayStation timed-exclusive titles conclude with a disclaimer that specifies the duration of their exclusivity.
In the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth launch trailer, it is explicitly stated that the game will only be accessible on other platforms starting on May 29, 2024.
Regrettably, when it comes to the stellar blade, there is no indication of such.
It’s important to note that Sony Entertainment Interactive published Stellar Blade, unlike Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. This means that the chances of it being released on PC or other platforms in the near future are even slimmer.
However, it is worth noting that there is a chance the game might be released on PC in the future, given PlayStation’s track record of bringing their exclusive titles to the platform. However, it could be a while before this comes to fruition.
