Video summary
The Five Nights at Freddy's franchise is experiencing a surge of exciting news across movies, games, and merchandise, with the most anticipated development being the official confirmation that FNAF will join Fortnite this Halloween. Leakers have provided substantial evidence supporting this collaboration, including clues from Rocket League's upcoming Halloween event featuring the iconic phrase "I always come back" and specific quest codes referencing Freddy Fazbear's Pizza locations. Additionally, a recent teaser for Fortnite revealed an updated Pizzeria point of interest on the map that closely mirrors the design from the FNAF movie, complete with a sign resembling Freddy Fazbear's Pizza and a central stage area, strongly suggesting the game is preparing to host the horror IP alongside its existing gaming legends season.
Beyond the major crossover announcement, there are significant updates regarding the FNAF film series and the Fanverse Initiative. Blumfest is returning to New York Comic-Con on October 9th, where fans can expect further developments on the script for FNAF 3, written by Gary Dauberman, potentially featuring appearances or teasers from Matthew Lillard and Sky Olrich who will play major roles in the film. In other cinematic news, behind-the-scenes footage from FNAF 2 highlights the fun times of the cast with Toy Chica and Toy Bonnie, while a new glow-in-the-dark DVD cover for the two-movie collection has been spotted at Walmart. Simultaneously, the Fanverse Initiative is pushing forward with "The Joy of Creation," releasing a terrifying teaser for its basement level filled with endoskeletons, and confirming that "My Pop Goes" will launch on PlayStation and Xbox consoles in late September, with a Switch port also in the works.
The merchandise landscape is equally vibrant, with numerous new figures, plushies, and collectibles set to release from various manufacturers. GameStop is launching new FNAF figures for $17 each, while EXG Pro will release a Golden Freddy device holder exclusively at JB High5. Hex has introduced two new waves of products, including back-to-school plushies and backpacks, Blacklight t-shirts, glow-in-the-dark pins, and massive head pillows featuring the main animatronics. YouTube's is also redesigning their FNAF 1 wave to include interlocking figures that recreate the office set piece, while Funko plans to re-release and redesign their Nightmare Pops collection this spring. Jazwares continues to impress with high-quality Woodland Toy Freddy and Boulder Toy Bonnie figures, Squishmallows of lesser-known characters like White Tiger and Lolbit, a new 18-inch articulated Freddy figure, and an expanded Endoskeleton parts line allowing collectors to display multiple suits simultaneously.

The Five Nights at Freddy's Fortnite
collab, has been confirmed by leakers,
even giving us some of the first details
of what to expect in the collaboration.
So, that and so much more FNAF news,
including FNAF 3 movie updates, upcoming
merchandise, and brand new posts from
Scott himself, is exactly what we're
going to be talking about today. So, if
you're excited for all of the FNAF news
and especially FNAF finally joining
Fortnite, scroll down, tickle that
subscribe button because you do not want
to miss out on all the juicy FNAF
Fortnite details. But before we can talk
about FNAF Fortnite, there is a bunch
more FNAF news to talk about. So, let's
not waste any more time because, as you
may have heard by now, Blumfest is
returning to New York Comic-Con on
October 9th. And previously, we have
seen both of the FNAF films be featured
at New York Comic-Con. So, I'd say it is
extremely likely we will see some
updates on FNAF 3 at the festival. The
last update we had was a couple months
ago now that Gary Doberman was writing
the script. He's the writer behind the
IT movies and some of the Annabel films.
However, like I said, that was a couple
months ago now. So, hopefully they're
wrapping up the script. I have a feeling
that if we do get updates on FNAF 3,
it's not going to be anything too
massive because again, they haven't even
started filming. I think most likely
we'll get an update on how the script is
going. Again, hopefully it's wrapping up
by then. If we're lucky, maybe like a
release window or when they plan to
start filming. October 9th, the day of
Blumfest, happens to be the only day
that both Matthew Lillard and Ski Olrich
are attending New York Comic-Con. So, I
absolutely feel like we can expect those
two gentlemen to pop by the showcase,
maybe tease a little bit about Willie
Mapton and Henry in FNAF 3. We know that
they're going to play a big role in the
film. So, of course, come October 9th,
we'll be doing a live stream live
covering all the news, so subscribe so
you don't miss out on that. In other
FNAF movie news, we got some brand new
behind the scenes of FNAF 2 with McKenna
Grace, Toy Chica, and Toy Bonnie. Seems
like all three of them are having
equally as entertaining of times on the
set. And then finally for movie news,
there's a brand new DVD cover at
Walmart. For the two movie collection,
it is a glow-in-the-dark purple cover.
And so quickly checking in on the
Fazbear Fanverse Initiative. We got a
brand new teaser for The Joy of
Creation. This is a teaser for the
basement level, which if you recall in
story mode was the level with all the
terrifying endoskeletons that anytime
you looked away from them, they'd slowly
start creeping up on you. And just based
on the teaser's atmosphere, I can tell
this is going to be even more
terrifying. He's going to crank it up to
20. I feel like I say this every time,
but with every new teaser, I just get
more and more excited for this game. I
cannot wait for it. And then we also got
the very exciting news that My Pop goes
will be getting console releases
scheduled for September 30th at 7:00
p.m. Eastern time. It's going to be
coming out on PlayStation and Xbox
consoles. And we have gotten
confirmation from Kane that there is a
Switch port planned. There's just a
couple more approvals that I think they
have to go through to get that up on the
store. That is very exciting. I believe
the first Fanverse game to get a proper
console port. I know the Flumpties games
are on mobile, so it's not the first
Fanverse port, but I believe it is the
first consoles. And quickly for book
news, we got the brand new release of
the third volume of Tales from the
Pizzalex graphic novels featuring
illustrated adaptations of Nexi, The
Storyteller, and Drowning. If you
recall, this book was delayed quite a
bit, but finally, it has seen the light
of day. And so now, let's move along to
the merchandise news. Starting off with
these guys. These are brand new FNAF
figures being released at GameStop for
$17 each. $17 each. It feels like the
entire budget went to Chica. What is
going on? Uh, you know, let's just move
on to a proper goodlooking FNAF figure
because this is the brand new Golden
Freddy device holder from EXG Pro. You
know, these guys, we've gotten Freddy
and Bonnie device holders in the past
and they look so good. Golden Freddy
continues that trend. He releases on
September 18th exclusively at JB High5,
which is a brand I've never heard of. I
believe it's Australian. But these Cable
Guy figures continue to be some of the
best looking FNAF figures we've ever
gotten for these characters. So, if
you're able to rescue Golden Freddy from
Down Under, I really do think you're
going to like this figure. Moving on now
to Hex. They have released two brand new
FNAF waves. The first one is a back to
school collection featuring a sitting
mangle plushy as well as two plushy
backpacks of Freddy and Springtrap. And
then finally, we also saw the release of
these Blacklight FNAF 2 t-shirts. I've
been looking forward to these things
forever because the art for them looks
so so good. And then we also got a
glow-in-the-dark pin. And then the
second wave from Hex are the brand new
head pillows. Love me some Freddy head.
You got Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, Foxy.
These things are absolutely massive. Do
showed them off. So, these cuddly head
plushies are available right now
alongside everything else we just talked
about. And now, switching over to
YouTube's. If you recall, by the end of
this year, they plan to redesign their
entire FNAF 1 wave. We have gotten
concept art for the Freddy figure in the
office. And we know that Foxy's figure
is going to be him inside Pirates Cove.
And then each figure is able to like
interlock together to create a little
set piece of the four animatronics. And
well, we got confirmation from YouTube
that they do plan to remake more of
their older FNAF figures and that this
redesign wave for FNAF 1 is only the
beginning. So, I'd love to know which
older FNAF YouTubes figure would you
like to see get a redesign? And then
also on the topic of YouTube's news, if
you want to go over and vote for your
very own JohnnyBlocks YouTube's figure
of Stephanie, you're able to do so on
the YouTube's community page. I'll leave
the link in the description and in the
pinned comment. And actually, YouTube's
is not the only company looking to
remake some of their older FNAF
merchandise because we got the scoop
from Scarlet Joker, a reliable Funko
insider that come next spring, Funko
plans to re-release and redesign their
FNAF 4 Nightmare Pops, including
Nightmare Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, Foxy,
as well as two brand new exclusive
figures that we don't know who they are
just yet. I know a lot of people are
holding out hope for Nightmare Fredbear
and Nightmare. That would be super cool.
I wouldn't mind plush trap or like
nightmare on either. And so, finally,
for merchandise, let's talk about
Jazwares because we've gotten a ton of
brand new Jazwares products, including,
as you can see, the upcoming Woodland
Toy Freddy and Boulder Toy Bonnie
figures. These guys continue the Target
exclusive line of FNAF AR skins, and
actually, they do look pretty damn good.
These guys officially released this
fall. Though of course they are popping
up early in some stores. And actually
in-person pictures of these figures,
they look really, really good. The
sculpt, the texturing, the paint job,
they all look incredible. Unfortunately,
it is still hard for me to get behind
FNAF AR figures. For as good as they
look, I still just feel like our
resources should be going to other
characters instead of skins for a dead
game. But I guess if Jazwares does plan
to continue the AR line. At least the
figures are looking really good. Also
for Jazwares, we got some brand new
Squish Malow plushies. You got White
Tiger, Lolbit, Shadow Freddy, and
Dreadbear. And I think all four of these
plushies look really good. I don't have
any critiques for them really. It is
just an odd character selection for a
wave. Like White Tiger, Lolbit, Shadow
Freddy, and Dreadbear. What? But again,
as long as they look this good, which
they do, I will not complain at all. All
these guys are showing up at Five Below.
Also for plushies, we have a sleeping
chica plushy coming up pretty soon who
looks absolutely adorable. We got some
brand new images of the upcoming 18in
Freddy figure. This guy has so many
unique abilities. The glowing eyes, the
extended legs, the mouth opens, his
expression changes, you can twist his
eyes. Definitely feels like a lot more
of a premium figure for Freddy from
Jazwares with the massive height, with
all the features. The paint job as well
looks so much better than their other
Freddy figures. And then also, we've
seen the brand new FNAF 4 Nightmare
keychain plushies. You got Freddy, Foxy,
Bonnie, and then interestingly enough,
the Fredles. Though it is just one, he
seems pretty lonely without his
brothers. And then lastly for Jazwares
and merchandise, we got the news from
Scott, and that is the FNAF Endoer parts
and service pack from Jazwares has
finally been released. The Endoer line
from Jazwares is so cool, but the
unfortunate thing is that you can only
display one suit at a time. So, over on
the Jazwares vault, they are releasing
extra Endos for you to buy. For $25, you
get two 6in figures of rusted endo and
factory fresh endo. Coming with a
cardboard storage box with the following
pairs of eyes. Classic Freddy, classic
Foxy, classic Bonnie, and Toy Chica.
Don't know why Toy Chica and not Classic
Chica. So finally, it is nice to get
more endoskeletons so you can display
more of your Endo series figures. And so
speaking of the FNAF Scott Games account
recently, ever since the last FNAF news
video we did, they've just been posting
teasers of like upcoming merchandise
that we just talked about or sharing
blast from the past video. So again, not
really a whole lot to go over there.
Really, the only interesting post from
FNAF Scott games since the last video is
this post about baby that says, "What is
your favorite variant of baby? Circus
Baby, Scrap Baby, Eleanor, or the Fourth
Closet." Now, already people were
freaking out cuz like, what? What do you
mean Eleanor is a variant of Circus
Baby? Even though, come on, let's really
look at them together. And then attached
to the post is this artwork of Baby that
incorporates all the other Funtime
animatronics. You got Funtime Freddy,
Balora, Funtime Foxy, which is probably
my favorite, and then Enard as well. A
super cool art piece, though. Again, I
wish they credited who did this art. But
so now, let's move on to the big
headlining news for today. You've waited
long enough because we got the news from
Sam Leaks, who has been a very reliable
and accurate Fortnite leaker, that FNAF
is coming to Fortnite this Halloween for
four nightmares, which if so, is
absolutely huge. We kind of already
figured that the FNAF collab was going
to be with Fortnite, especially because
on the brand new Fortnite map right now,
there is a building being constructed
that looks a heck of a lot like the FNAF
pizzeria, even down to having a big
center room with a show stage right at
the front. The brand new season is all
about gaming legends, iconic gaming
characters. And of course, with a season
like that running through Fort
Nightmares, it only makes sense to get
FNAF finally in Fortnite. And this brand
new info on FNAF Fortnite actually comes
from Rocket League of all places because
leakers were able to find that the
upcoming Halloween event for Rocket
League features a player title that says
I always come back. Which I know a lot
of people online were saying that's a
Chucky line. Chucky is also famous for
saying that phrase. And while that is
true,
>> go ahead and shoot. I'LL BE BACK. I
ALWAYS COME BACK. There are also
upcoming quests for the Rocket League
Halloween event that mention getting 87
and 83 like shots on a goal. So 87 83
and I always come back. Come on, that is
FNAF guys. And so because Rocket League
and Fortnite share collabs, FNAF is
going to be coming to both Fortnite and
Rocket League. So it is pretty
interesting that since we're also
getting FNAF in Rocket League, what kind
of cosmetics and especially what kind of
cars are we going to see in that collab?
I saw a lot of FNAF fans really want the
Midnight Motorist car, William Afton's
purple car in Rocket League. That would
be super cool. I guess we have cars from
like Five Laps at Freddy's that they
could take influence from or like the
Funko Racers or the Jazwares racers. And
actually, breaking news just as I'm
editing today's video. We just got the
first look at the updated version of the
Pizzeria point of interest. It was
revealed in today's Fortnite teaser.
just barely. You can see the updated
building that is going to get updated on
Thursday, the next big Fortnite update.
And immediately, the biggest change that
you can see is just barely on the front
of the facade, there is a sign on the
upper middle of the front of the
building, exactly where the sign is for
Freddy Fazbear's Pizza in the movie. If
this is not confirmation, I don't know
what else is. I don't know if it's my
mind playing tricks on me, but I swear
the sign looks like you can see Freddy's
hand going up, just like it is in the
film. Already, the building looked
identical. It has a giant room with a
show stage right in the center. And now
it looks like it's getting a sign out
front that looks exactly like the Freddy
Fazbear's pizza sign. It also looks like
there might be another sign out in like
the parking lot area. It's kind of hard
to tell if that is just like the street
light that's always been there, but also
there is a bigger Freddy Fazbear's pizza
sign in the parking lot in the movie. So
maybe that could be a new sign as well.
But either way, this brand new teaser
that seemingly reveals the Freddy
Fazbear's pizza sign has me so excited
cuz like this just has to be it now.
Obviously like it it it's it's it's
getting harder and harder to say this
will not be Fortnite. I really just
cannot wait. I feel like the official
announcement is probably going to come
around the beginning of October because
October 1st should be like the first
proper big reveal of Fortnite. So, I'd
love to know what are your thoughts on
FNAF finally joining Fortnite because
the closer we get to Fortn
is happening. FNAF really is joining
Fortnite. All the evidence piling up, I
always come back. Player card, 87 and 83
quests, the pizzeria on the map, the
gaming season, Fortnite Mayares, it all
just makes so much sense. So, I'm going
to do a video pretty soon going over
everything I'd love to see in a FNAF
Fortnite collab. I'd love to hear from
you. What do you want to see in this
collaboration? Thank you guys so much
for watching this video, and I'll see
you all on the flip side. Goodbye.
