Video summary

Scott Cawthon has officially confirmed that a new Five Nights at Freddy's collaboration is imminent, with overwhelming evidence suggesting that Freddy Fazbear and his animatronic friends will finally be joining the Fortnite universe. This exciting development comes after a viral teaser post from Scott Games, which reignited intense speculation among fans who had long desired this crossover. While there were earlier hints like the "Survive the Night" code name that turned out to be for a different game, the current context points directly to Fortnite. The timing aligns perfectly with Chapter 7 Season 4, Overwrite, a season dedicated entirely to video game characters and running through Fortnitemares, Fortnite's annual Halloween event known for featuring licensed horror IPs like Poppy Playtime. Given the massive success of previous collaborations such as Dead by Daylight and the high demand from vocal fans, it seems Scott Cawthon has finally decided to take the leap after years of hesitation regarding brand integrity. Despite past comments where Scott stated he was not pursuing collaborations at that time, his stance has evolved significantly over the last few years. He has explained that while he remains careful to protect the unique atmosphere and identity of FNAF, he is now more open to partnerships that respect the source material's dark tone, citing Dead by Daylight as a successful example where the game mechanics matched the horror aesthetic. The video highlights that even within official spin-offs, the brand has experimented with various styles, but the key factor for a Fortnite partnership is ensuring the experience feels authentic. With Epic Games treating other beloved IPs like Alien and Poppy Playtime with great care, it appears Scott has seen how beneficial these collaborations can be and is ready to bring his iconic characters to the battle royale without compromising the gritty feel that fans expect. The most concrete evidence supporting this theory lies within the Fortnite map itself, where a newly constructed building near Pac-Man Island bears a striking resemblance to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza from the recent movie. The structure features identical architectural details, including the sloping green roof, twin pillars, parking lot, and an interior layout with a central stage and dining area that mirrors the film's setting. Although currently under construction and lacking specific security office elements, the building is clearly intended to be developed into a dedicated FNAF point of interest. Fans speculate that this location could eventually host mini-boss fights, unlock mythic items upon defeat, or serve as a hub for animatronic sprites and sidekicks like Adventure Freddy, offering players a unique way to interact with the franchise within the game's ecosystem. In conclusion, the convergence of Scott Cawthon's recent teasing, the thematic fit of the current Fortnite season, and the physical presence of a movie-accurate building on the map makes a FNAF x Fortnite collaboration almost certain. While the specific cosmetics remain a topic of debate, with fans hoping for animatronic skins, human characters from the movies, or perhaps even the Glamrocks band members, the potential for diverse content like back blings and interactive stages is vast. The hype surrounding this potential release has already driven Scott's latest tweet to become his most liked ever, signaling that the wait is finally over. As the season progresses and the new building gets further developed, players can expect a major event that will bring the world of Five Nights at Freddy's into the vibrant chaos of Fortnite, fulfilling years of fan requests and marking a historic moment for both franchises.

Scott Cawthon has just confirmed a brand new Five Nights at Freddy's collaboration is coming soon and all of the details are pointing to Freddy and the gang finally joining Fortnite. So, if you're excited for this possible Fortnite and FNAF collaboration, scroll down, subscribe to the channel. I'm going to be giving you guys all of the details, the reasons why we think this is going to be FNAF Fortnite and any future teasers, of course, we're going to be breaking down those as well. So, make sure to subscribe to stay up-to-date with everything going on with FNAF. So, this is the official teaser from Scott that we got recently. We got it a couple days ago. I'm late cuz my channel got deleted. Please subscribe. I just got my channel back. But, this post went absolutely viral. It is now the most liked and most retweeted post by FNAF Scott Games. And so, of course, fans were theorizing like crazy. Oh my gosh, what if it's Minecraft? What if it's a Roblox game? A lot of people were asking for Sonic Cross Worlds for some reason. But, actually, Fortnite is the most likely option and it's for a lot of reasons. Fans have been asking for FNAF in Fortnite for years and we've gotten a ton of close calls in the past with hints and teasers that we thought were FNAF-related. And especially quite recently, a couple weeks ago, because there was the code name Survive the Night found as a teaser for the upcoming Fortnite season, which is of course something you do in FNAF. Though, it is also a lot of things that happen in other games as well. And the Survive the Night teaser actually turned out to be for 99 Nights in the Forest, which actually brings us to this newest Fortnite season, Chapter 7 Season 4, Overwrite, which is entirely themed to video games and features some truly iconic gaming characters. You got Sonic, you got Pac-Man, Mega Man, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Sora from Kingdom Hearts, Joker from Persona, and even a ton more gaming collabs on the way like League of Legends. And it's also worth noting that this video game season that's happening right now will run through Fortnitemares, which is Fortnite's annual Halloween event that introduces a ton of licensed horror characters. And last year's Fortnitemares had an absolutely stacked lineup. You got Scooby-Doo, Ghostface, Jason, Black Phone, Terrifier, Wednesday. But I think most importantly, it had a couple indie games as well with Repo and Poppy Playtime. And I think it drummed up a lot more hype and demand for FNAF in Fortnite. And so I think with this current season being video game characters and Fortnitemares running through it, this is just way too good of an opportunity to pass up. I know a lot of people are going to bring up Scott's past comments on FNAF collaborations. Actually, Scott said FNAF is never coming to Fortnite, so touche. Although, contrary to popular belief, Scott has never said no to FNAF in Fortnite. In 2021, Scott made a Reddit post saying, "No collabs for now, including Fortnite or Fall Guys, focusing on solo FNAF projects this year." And of course, in that comment, he says "for now" and "focusing on FNAF projects this year." So very clearly, that statement is like of the times. It doesn't reflect on current time, 5 years later. Although, most recently, 2 years ago in Dawko's interview, Scott makes it clear that he is still being very careful with collaborations to make sure that FNAF still feels like FNAF and to protect the brand integrity. >> I'm very careful with collaborations because I want to protect the brand and I want to make sure that Five Nights at Freddy's stays as Five Nights at Freddy's. And there are some games where even if I really enjoy the game, it just doesn't feel like a it doesn't feel like a good match. It feels like a it feels like a mismatch. The brand integrity is the most important thing for me and keeping everything feeling [music] like it belongs. And so that's really been my only that's really been my only only hesitancy. I feel I feel like I am branching out a little bit and I am a little bit more open to those things than maybe I was in the early years, but I'm still very careful about it. We'll just see we'll we'll see how things go. >> And I think it's for that reason that he picked Dead by Daylight for FNAF. Especially when it comes to a character like Springtrap who's super dark and violent. The character already is pretty bloody and gory, so putting him in Dead by Daylight just makes sense. They also added in a lot of FNAF's gameplay with like jump scares and the security doors and the cameras, which is actually a very similar thing that they did with Funko Fusion, another FNAF collab. They made the FNAF level in Funko Fusion match the atmosphere and gameplay of FNAF, which shows that Scott is more open to collabs, even if the overall game itself is Funko Fusion, which absolutely does not fit FNAF at all. Although, if we're talking about brand integrity, you're not even safe from your own game, Scott. When in official FNAF spin-off games, we have NSFW Island and jiggle physics toy Chica and anime Bonnie. Like, what are we doing here? Even the American Dream Mall is a pretty major FNAF collaboration, so again, does seem like Scott is opening up more to the possibility of other collabs. A real-life pizzeria is something that Scott would have never have done years ago. If you recall the build-up to the 10th anniversary collab reveal, there were so many people begging for Fortnite. I'm sure that was a big like, oh my gosh, there are so many people who want this, cuz that was probably the most vocal FNAF fans have ever been for that collab. So, I think seeing all the hype and reactions that day to the possi- even just the possibility of FNAF and Fortnite, and then also how successful that collaboration was with Dead by Daylight. The announcement was Dead by Daylight's most liked tweet ever. It set the record for the peak player base on Steam when it released. And even just the tease of another collab, not even an announcement, is again now Scott's most liked tweet of all time. I really wouldn't be surprised if over the past 2 years at least, Scott has seen how much people want FNAF and Fortnite, and with how open he is now to more collabs. After seeing how successful and beneficial it can be, and also probably how Epic treats other IPs like Poppy Playtime and Alien, IPs that we know Scott loves to death. It feels like he's finally bit the bullet on a FNAF Fortnite collab, the golden scar bullet. And so, not only did this collab teaser just so happen to be posted on the very first day of the new season, there is also a major piece of evidence on the brand new Fortnite map that I'd say is pretty damn concrete evidence that this collab is Fortnite. And so, welcome to Fortnite. As you can see, we got my buddy Miles Tails Prower. And so, hopefully pretty soon, in a couple months maybe, in this lobby you'll actually be able to see Freddy and the gang. And now, I said that there was something on the new map that pretty heavily implies that FNAF is coming to Fortnite, so allow me to show you. Or should I say, do you want the house tour? So, if you're looking at the Fortnite map right up here by the Pac-Man Island is going to be this building right here. We're actually going to fly right over it. So, this building right here is one of the main reasons why a lot of people think the collab is going to be Fortnite. Because if you actually compare this building to the building in the FNAF movie, it's pretty damn identical. You got the parking lot right out front, the two pillars on each side of the building, the green roof that slopes up into a bit of a pointed top. Of course, you got the main doorway right in the middle, and then actually it gets even more crazy once you go inside into this big open area, maybe could be used as a dining area, and also this stage right here. I mean, come on, guys. The second you walk in, you're in a big dining area, or at least like a big open room right now, and then there is a stage right dead center. This place is probably going to be contested cuz a lot of people are heading here to to check out FNAF in Fortnite, by the way. Stay away from my FNAF. Yeah, so I will say the layout is not identical to FNAF. Obviously, you got the the outside, which looks Again, I'll say I think spot-on to the FNAF movie. You walk inside, big empty area, show stage right up there. Over here would normally be like the bathrooms and such, but it's just like a work in progress building, which I will say they do have a while still until Fortnitemare, so I think over the next several weeks, I think we're going to see this building get more and more developed into Freddy Fazbear's. There's no real security office, there's like a bunch of pizza around, so it's obviously not one-to-one with FNAF, but I mean, come on, guys. Like this is this is pretty spot on. I don't know. You got Freddy and the gang up here. You can make him do some party hips. It does bring up the question like what kind of skins do you think we're going to get? Oh, the storm is coming in, but like here's the kitchen area. Cuz I would assume one of the main reasons why Scott wouldn't want FNAF in Fortnite is because he maybe wouldn't want like Freddy Fazbear holding a gun or hitting the gritty, but also I do think he knows that if we don't get animatronic skins, I think Scott knows the fans going to be pretty upset, right? So like maybe we're going to get like the humans from the movies. I know Josh Hutcherson's a big Fortnite fan. I'm sure he would love to have his own skin in the game. You also can do so much more with a collab. Like that little stage that was up there, you can totally have the animatronics just like constantly doing a little show. Brand new to Fortnite are like these sprites right here that I just so happen to find. So maybe we can get like some Freddy animatronics as the sprites. You can also have like a little sidekick. Like how cute would it be to have like a little mini Freddy, like Adventure Freddy or Helpy running around with you? Like obviously FNAF fans' number one want are the animatronics as skins or like some human characters as skins. You could do the Glamrocks as well. I feel like the Glamrocks fit kind of the style and look of Fortnite better. I feel like they'd fit more in than the classics. Sometimes for like bigger collaborations, Fortnite does like a mini battle pass. So I think there's absolutely going to be enough hype if they want to do something like that and have just a bunch of rewards and cosmetics for FNAF. Also worth noting that POI up here is a landmark. So it's a little mini like point of interest. Oh my god, no way. Gold shadow sprite. Yo, this is this is crazy. Yeah, this little landmark right here is like a dedicated space on the map. So, you could have like a dedicated FNAF point of interest that has like a mini boss fight. And when you defeat the boss, you get like a super powerful like FNAF mythic item or something. I did also see a few people be like, "Oh, what if this little map right here is just like Fortnite doing their own version or like a parody of FNAF?" I guess it's possible, but again, I feel like with Scott teasing a brand new collab the same day the season drops, it's just way too much of a coincidence. And also, I'm sure Epic would get a lot of like pushback for something like that instead of getting the real deal. Although, that did just happen recently with Minecraft, so who knows? Maybe that's not past them. Nice. >> [laughter] >> All right. Oops. Yeah, that's how I feel. Anyways, sorry. I got too invested in the Fortnite. But yeah, honestly, I just really think that this collab is going to be Fortnite. I think it's finally time. I think Scott has seen the hype for it. It just makes so much sense with the gaming season running into Fort Nightmares. The Scott Games Twitter account literally teasing a brand new collab the same day that Fortnite drops this new season and the same day there's a new building that looks pretty spot-on to Freddy Fazbear's from the movie. Even if it's not skins, which I do really hope we get, I think there is a lot of potential that you can do with more cosmetics like back blings, sprites, sidekicks, locations, boss fights, that kind of stuff. But I'd love to know your thoughts. Do you think we're finally getting FNAF in Fortnite? What kind of skins are you hoping to see in terms of animatronics or humans? What kind of cosmetics do you think we're going to get? Want to thank you guys for letting me yap so much about FNAF in Fortnite, and I'll see you all on the flip side. Goodbye.
