A new game in the Five Nights at Freddy\u2019s series is coming to Roblox<\/em><\/a> \u2014 or rather, it already did, accidentally, in what franchise creator Scott Cawthon<\/a> called \u201cone of the most baffling, insane, things to ever happen in my ten years of working on FNAF.\u201d
Roblox<\/em> players discovered Wednesday that Five Nights at Freddy\u2019s: Survival Crew<\/em><\/a> was playable on the kid-friendly platform, even though the game had not been officially announced. Players also realized that Survival Crew<\/em> was not in a polished, playable state. Cawthon said he had it pulled from Roblox<\/em> after realizing what had happened.
\u201cThis is a game in its infancy,\u201d Cawthon explained in a post on the Five Nights at Freddy\u2019s subreddit<\/a>, \u201ctemp assets; temp gameplay, unfinished everything. The fact that it got dropped today suddenly on the public just blows my mind.\u201d
Cawthon chalked Survival Crew<\/em>\u2019s unexpected launch up to a simple, but baffling mistake: \u201cApparently there was a huge<\/em> misunderstanding when I approved a skin, and it was interpreted as RELEASE THE GAME.\u201d
So, yes, Cawthon said, there is a FNAF game coming to Roblox<\/em>. He hopes to fix it sometime in 2024, with the help of developer Metaverse Team Frights.
\u201cI hope everyone can at least believe me when I say that this was a game in its testing phases and was in no way ready to be released to the public,\u201d Cawthon said. \u201cI, myself, have never even played it yet. So again, catastrophic misunderstanding, and I apologize. Will fix.\u201d
The Roblox<\/em> store listing for Five Nights at Freddy\u2019s: Survival Crew<\/em> is still up but with a warning that the game is in beta. It also includes a description to let players know what to expect when it officially comes to Roblox<\/em> next year.
Welcome aboard as Fazbear Security\u2019s newest team member! You and your crew will be on night duty at all Fazbear Entertainment\u2019s properties. We don\u2019t anticipate you having any trouble (then again, we never did before either and look what happened\u2026). But if something seems out of place, you can always use the handy charging stations located throughout our properties to overload the electrical systems and shock any wayward animatronics back into compliance.
Roblox<\/em> and FNAF fans who did play Survival Crew<\/em> liken it to asymmetric horror hit Dead by Daylight<\/em>, thanks to its emphasis on cooperative gameplay and being chased by animatronic terrors. But due to the \u201cunfinished everything\u201d nature of the game\u2019s early release, a lot could change by the time Freddy Fazbear and friends officially come to Roblox<\/em>.
Take a break from your day by playing a puzzle or two! We\u2019ve got SpellTower, Typeshift, crosswords, and more.
