Video summary
Johnny celebrates the twelfth anniversary of Five Nights at Freddy's by highlighting three major announcements that have revitalized fan excitement: a permanent real-life pizzeria, sequels to popular games, and new merchandise reveals. The most significant news concerns the debut of the world's first permanent immersive restaurant experience at American Dream Mall in New Jersey, scheduled for 2027. This project is not merely a themed decoration but a fully functioning venue where guests can dine on pizza, play arcade machines recreated from various game titles, and watch authentic animatronic stage shows featuring Freddy Fazbear and the rest of the cast. The attraction will also include Foxy's Pirate Cove with its own dedicated show stage and immersive multiplayer survival horror experiences that allow visitors to step behind the curtains into a genuine reimagining of the franchise world.
In addition to the pizzeria, Scott Cawthon finally revealed long-awaited sequels after years of anticipation from the community. The first teaser for Security Breach 2 appeared on Steel Wool Studios' social media in the form of an engagement bait video that glitched out to reveal a new, eerie design of Vanny wearing what appears to be a latex suit and holding her knife again. This visual suggests she has returned after escaping Glitch Trap or perhaps undergoing some digital reconstruction, raising questions about whether this is Vanessa herself, Cassie using the mask extensively over time, or an older version of another character. The teaser hints at complex narrative elements involving time jumps between different eras in the series and unresolved mysteries regarding Mimic's fate since Ruin, promising a story that will explore events before Security Breach while addressing what happened after it.
The third major announcement confirmed by Mega Cat is the development of FNAF World 2, bringing back an adventure RPG concept that originally struggled with graphics but has since gained a cult following among fans who have long requested more characters and mechanics. Scott Cawthon expressed regret over not being able to achieve higher resolution in the original game due to developer limitations at the time, noting his desire to create a high-quality sequel if he ever had enough free time or resources. While no official release dates were provided for either Security Breach 2 or FNAF World 2, fans speculate that both titles might launch around 2027 or 2028 given Steel Wool Studios' typical annual release schedule and the likelihood of staggering major sequels to avoid market saturation.
The anniversary day also saw other notable updates including Hex releasing cute artwork celebrating the franchise's history with plushies from FNAF One, and Scott Cawthon finally updating his Twitter profile picture for the first time in two years alongside an official Instagram account that has shown strong engagement potential. Although there were no new announcements regarding Click Team's Five Laps or Blumhouse's upcoming movie adaptation of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza 3, the sheer volume of reveals surrounding Scott Games projects made this anniversary feel particularly impactful compared to previous years when fans feared nothing would happen. The combination of a tangible real-world location bringing the horror universe to life alongside new digital adventures has left the community buzzing with anticipation for what these experiences will entail once they officially open or release.

Hello people of the internet. My name is
Johnny and welcome back to a massive
FNAF news video. We just celebrated the
12th anniversary of Five Nights at
Freddy's and Scott Stew Megaat had some
crazy announcements for us. We got a
real life Freddy Fazbear's Pizza opening
next year, the first teaser for Security
Breach 2, and then the crazy reveal that
after a decade, FNAF World 2 is actually
happening. So, if you guys enjoyed the
FNAF 12th anniversary, scroll down,
subscribe to the channel. I want to give
a massive shout out to everyone who
joined the live streams yesterday. I had
an absolute blast hanging out with
y'all. And if you're excited for FNAF
World 2, Security Breach 2, and the
Pizzeria, also hit the like button. So,
first up, let's start off with the
artwork that we got at the beginning of
the day. First up was Hex, of course,
Do's merchandise brand. They released
this cute little artwork of the FNAF 1
plushies celebrating the 12th
anniversary. And then next up was
Steelwool, which had a couple people
worried. Even though the art is
incredible, it's Freddy really eerily in
the FNAF 1 hallway. Even though this is
clearly the left hallway with the supply
closet that Bonnie goes down when Freddy
goes down the right hallway, Steel Wool
laring FNAF, but the artwork is super
creepy. It's got Freddy. It says, "Happy
12th anniversary Five Nights at
Freddy's." A lot of people were worried
that this was going to be the only post
we got from Steelwool. Luckily, that's
not the case, as we're going to talk
about later on. But towards the middle
of the day is when things got pretty
interesting because the FNAF Scotts
Twitter account was finally active once
again. It updated its profile picture
for the 12-year anniversary. We didn't
get anything for the 11th anniversary
and a lot of people were like, "Oh my
gosh, like the profile picture is still
the 10th anniversary." So, it's nice
that they updated it because admittedly
that profile picture was pretty out of
date. It'd be cool if we got a new
profile picture each year or maybe
eventually they just want to have like a
basic Freddy logo. But it was nice to
finally get an updated profile picture.
And then also, it was nice to get an
official Instagram account. Now that it
has an Instagram, I'm really hoping the
account gets used more and they're
branching out into more social media
platforms. Also, because all the posts
yesterday did insanely insanely well.
So, I'm really hoping this is all like a
wakeup call to be like, "Oh my gosh, we
should use this account more. It gets so
much engagement. People love interacting
with it." And like I just said, we were
getting new teasers from the account
itself. The first one was this real life
pizza box that had a lot of FNAF fans
going crazy. It was posted right at
11:00. So, we were checking every hour
thinking maybe they're going to take a
slice every hour and it's going to be
like a countdown. Why is it half cheese,
half pepperoni? If you zoom in on the
pizza, you can see the text coming soon.
So, obviously this was a teaser for
something, right? And then also in the
bottom right, you can also see the
letter A. And FNAF fans pretty quickly
discovered if you take the A and you
take the half cheese half pepperoni
design of the pizza, it matches up
pretty dang closely with the logo for
the American Dream Mall, which is the
second biggest mall in America, it's
located in New Jersey, which as it turns
out, NJ, the initials for New Jersey
were also found in the pizza. And then
also, if you messed around with like the
colors and the saturation or whatever
the heck, I don't know how some FNAF
fans do this. It's crazy. Fans were able
to find like a map in the middle of the
pizza, which some thought was like a
video game map. However, some fans took
to Google Maps and they discovered this
is the exact layout of the American
Dream Mall. And then finally, we got the
announcement that a permanent Freddy
Fazbear's Pizza is coming to life at the
American Dream Mall in New Jersey next
year. They released this quick little
teaser featuring this really amazing
looking logo for Freddy Fazbear's Pizza.
I love it so much. Genuinely, I hope for
the movies they use this design instead
cuz I think it looks so much better than
what we have in the movies, honestly.
So, it seems like next year they're
opening a real life Freddy Fazbear's
Pizza exclusively at American Dream.
Hopefully, if it does well enough, they
can open more locations in other malls.
But the fact that this is a permanent
pizzeria, so hopefully people who are
far away from New Jersey, cuz obviously
there's FNAF fans all across the globe,
even some fans in the States who are
still so far away from Jersey.
Hopefully, because it's permanent,
hopefully eventually some of those fans
are still able to go eventually. They
did release some concept art of what
appears to be like the entrance for the
pizzeria. And if they can actually get
it to look this good, this is going to
be like the best thing ever, guys.
Obviously, this is only concept and
turning it from 2D to 3D is going to be
quite the trip. But that's not even the
craziest thing because we got more
details on what's going to be happening
at this location. And it says, "American
Dream is bringing the virtual world of
Five Nights at Freddy's to life with the
debut of the world's first permanent
immersive restaurant experience opening
in 2027. Developed in collaboration with
Scott Games, the experience will be a
functioning reimagining of Freddy
Fazbear's Pizza. Designed to immerse
guests in the world of the iconic
franchise. Visitors will be able to dine
at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, play arcade
games, experience animatronic stage
shows featuring Freddy and the Fazbear
Band, visit Foxy's Pirate Cove, and step
behind the curtains for immersive
multiplayer survival horror experiences.
Additional details, including the
official opening date and ticket
information, will be announced at a
later date. So, this location is
genuinely a functioning pizzeria with a
real life animatronic stage show of the
characters. You can play arcade games,
which they've confirmed will be ripped
right out of the games. You can visit
Pirates Cove, probably meet Foxy as
well. And also, there's a multiplayer
survival horror experience experiences,
so there's probably more than one. This
genuinely sounds so so crazy. Like, it's
not just a pizzeria, right? It's not
like they just slapped Freddy's face on
like an existing pizzeria and just
called it a day. It's a functioning
pizzeria. Super immersive. Probably
built like one to one with the games.
Arcade games you can play. Hopefully
that means there's like a prize counter
as well. A real life animatronic stage
show. Oh my god, guys. This sounds
crazy. Pirates Cove survival horror
experience. Like I just cannot wait for
next year. This is going to be so crazy.
Of course, I'll be going day one.
popping in quick during editing because
we just got a bit more details on the
attraction. Confirmed. There are going
to be two show stages. Of course, one
for Freddy Bonnie Chica and then the
other one is going to have Foxy. So, he
is going to be on his own stage doing
his own show. The attraction is also
going to feature a fast casual dining
experience. So, you are going to be able
to go in, sit down, eat your pizza.
Playable arcade machines recreated from
the games. It's going to be interesting
what exactly they mean by that, what
games they're going to pull from. Like,
are we going to see like some of the
death mini games, maybe like some
happiest day stuff, maybe? I mean,
there's a bunch of games from Into the
Pit that you can pull from. And of
course, the horror inspired multiplayer
game experiences that you're going to be
able to survive. And then we have a
quote from Deregular Sauce, who is the
creative lead for the attraction.
Literally the best person they could
have gotten for this project. I give
Sauce my flowers all the goddamn time,
but I'm going to keep doing it because
Sauce is so unbelievably talented. So to
have a Treyu on board for this project
is just again it it's the best thing
that they can do. Dregular Sauce says
the only way this experience succeeds is
if it's created by a team that knows
Five Nights at Freddy's inside and out.
The animatronic show has to be
authentic. The food has to be high
quality. Not quite sure if Fazbear Pizza
would actually have edible quality food,
but I trust you sauce. And above all
else, we are not building a set that
looks like Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. We
are building Freddy Fazbear's Pizza.
This experience will immerse longtime
fans in the world they've imagined for
years while welcoming an entirely new
audience to discover it for the first
time. I just get more and more excited
about this attraction, man. two stage
shows with real animatronics of the
characters. Literally, you get to walk
into a building, order Freddy Fazbear's
pizza, sit down, and watch a show tape
with the characters. That is so cool.
And it's being creatively led by Dreular
Sauce. I cannot cannot wait. This is
going to be the best. And it's permanent
as well. Like, I really hope this lasts
a long time and it does super well that
they can open more locations around the
world so more people can experience this
project cuz again, it just sounds so
cool. I'm so excited. I'd love to know
what are your thoughts. So, this was a
super crazy announcement. I'd love to
know what are your thoughts. However,
the anniversary was not done just yet
because suddenly Steel Wall Studios was
back to their same old tricks. They
posted this quick little video of the
Steel Wall Studios game corner once
again asking, "Can you identify this
character?" I audibly said out loud to
myself, "Read the room, Stew." like, how
are you posting this engagement bait
nonsense during the anniversary when
everyone's begging you to tease your
next game? And then I saw a reply from
Fusion with this. And lo and behold,
upon closer inspection of the video,
when Vany is revealed, the video
glitches out and it reveals these
images. And if you piece them together,
you get this this weird new version of
Vany. It's like Nexus inspired, which is
so crazy. The mask is so creepy with the
grin. And most importantly of all, if
you look at the mask, there's a two.
There's the number two in the Security
Breach font. This is Security Breach 2.
Not only are we finally getting that,
Vanie's back, which shouldn't really
come as a surprise. We've heard from
Scott in the Doco interview that he does
like Vie's character and he was hoping
to use her more in the future.
>> I've always really liked Vany as a
character. I don't think that Vany was
utilized to her fullest potential. And
so hopefully we'll see another
opportunity for uh for Vany to return as
well. We'll see.
>> And so it seems like this is now that
time. Vany is back. So the question
becomes now, how is Vany back? Why is
Vany back? Like is Vanessa not free from
Glitch Trap even though he seemingly
died at the ending of Help One 2? Jtop
pretty much confirmed in his interview
with John FNAF that that was the end of
Glitch Trap. turning around and being
this is this is you know the end of
Glitch Trap.
>> Yeah. So it is the end of Glitch Trap.
Squished gone.
>> Bye-bye.
>> So does he still have some hold over
Vanessa? Is it like a split personality
going on? Is there still like some
evilness inside of her head that's still
causing her to be crazy and evil? Or is
it like a digital reconstruction of Vany
in the teaser? You know, it could just
be the effects of the glitching out from
the video, but fans have pointed out
like her body, it does kind of look like
it might be made out of like some
static. So maybe this isn't even real
and it's like a digital reconstruction
of Vany and it's all just like the
straight up pure evilness of her. I
don't know. I've seen some theories as
well that I wouldn't mind that this
could be an older Cassie. We were
talking about this on the live stream,
but maybe Cassie's been trapped in the
sinkhole for years. And with Security
Breach 2, there's going to be a bit of
like a time jump. Maybe she's been like
constantly using the Vany AR mask and
she's been using it so much that she's
kind of fused with the AR realm and
she's gone crazy. I really don't know.
Like I would love your theories more
than anything we're going to talk about
today on this teaser on Security Breach
2 cuz you know this is all we're
getting. This is all we got so far. Just
this weird glitchy design of Vany. We
don't even see like the full version of
it. You can't even tell really what
she's dressed up in. To me, and we were
talking about this on the live stream,
it looks like they just straight up put
her in like a Catwoman latex suit, which
I mean, listen, steel wool, you know, we
I will not be complaining about. It does
look like she's holding a knife. So,
maybe they saw the complaints of them
taking her knife away in Security Breach
and they decided, right, this one's
going to be just pure evil. She's got
this evil looking grin on the mask.
She's got her knife back. We were also
speculating maybe Security Breach 2
takes place during like two different
time periods and it flip-flops between
them throughout the game cuz we don't
know if this is a sequel or a prequel.
It is Security Breach 2, but like FNAF 2
was a sequel to FNAF, but the game
itself, the story was a prequel. So,
could this be taking place before the
events of Security Breach? Could it be
taking place after the events of Ruin?
We don't know. We were theorizing on the
live stream maybe it could flip-flop
between the two. Explain what happened
with the mimic cuz surely he's going to
be involved, right? There's so many
unanswered questions with him. Explained
what happened between the events of
Secret of the Mimic and Security Breach.
Ruin like how he got into the sinkhole,
how the Mexus got delivered to the
pizzeria as well. And then also show
what happens after Ruin. What's going on
with Cassie? Did the mimic escape? Did
he fall down with Cassie? What's going
on? Then you're kind of, you know,
getting two birds with one stone
answering two questions with one game.
what happened with the mimic between
Secret of the Mimic and Ruin and then
what happens after Ruin? But I'd love to
know what are your thoughts on this new
Vany redesign? I've already seen a lot
of fan art of it. So, this is pretty
exciting. What do you think is going to
happen in Security Breach 2? Do you
think, you know, if it is a time jump
and this is Cassie, are we going to see
like an older Gregory? Who do you think
this is? Do you think it's Cassie? Do
you think it's Vanessa? What do you
think is going to go on in the game?
Hopefully, pretty soon we can get more
teasers. I'm not sure. Maybe they're
waiting for like a state of play or
something to reveal the first like
teaser trailer. Or maybe I don't know.
It It's curious that this is all we got,
but I I hope we get more soon. And then
lastly, out of nowhere came Mega Cat.
They did not want to be sneaky. They
were not beating around the bush. They
just straight up said, "Hey guys, here's
FNAF World 2." Obviously, in the image,
you've got this giant massive two and
then within it are the adventure
animatronics. You got Bonnie, Foxy,
Freddy, Chica, Mangle, which is pretty
big. the puppet and then Balloon Boy as
well. I'm not really sure why Mangle
takes up so much of the logo. It
honestly feels like this is part of a
much bigger artwork, probably like the
key art for the game. And the way they
cropped it, you can only see like FNAF 1
and FNAF 2, which is cool and all. It
would have been nice to see cuz surely
we're going to get more characters in
the game. It would have been cool to see
like adventure versions of like the glam
rocks or like the mimic guys or the uh
the fun times. And then also in the
bottom of the two, you can just barely
see the wards FNAF World 2. So yeah,
this is FNAF World 2 by Megaat, which is
absolutely crazy considering this has
been even though FNAF World, the first
one, wasn't received all too well when
it first came out. I feel like over time
it has gained like kind of a cult
following and FNAF fans have always been
asking, man, wouldn't it be so cool if
there was a new FNAF world as a bigger
RPG, more mechanics, a lot more
characters? And even Scott himself has
been teasing a sequel to FNAF World in
my live stream in the Doco interview.
>> Yeah, you know, if I could go back and
change one thing, I I wish I could maybe
work with a different developer and just
really make it a a high resolution game,
get in some really good graphics. Maybe
get someone else to, you know, help me
with those graphics. And I I I it could
have been a good game. Could have been a
good game. Who knows? that maybe
somewhere down the line if I get really
antsy about it and have a lot of free
time on my hands, may maybe FNAF 2 or
FNAF World 2 might be a thing.
>> So, it seems like the prophecy has
finally been fulfilled and Megaat will
be giving us FNAF World 2. Security
Breach 2 and FNAF World 2. I'd love to
know which game between the two are you
most excited for? We don't have any
release dates for these. If I had to
imagine, uh I think Security Breach 2
will probably come out next year. Steer
Wall has been pretty consistent with
that every other year FNAF release
schedule. I've seen some people say FNAF
World 2 might come out next year. Uh I
don't it could I just don't know if
they'd want to release two big FNAF
sequels like that all in the same year.
So I'm thinking it might be 2028. I
don't know. But same thing with Security
Breach 2. Hopefully we can get more info
because I know a lot of FNAF fans are
excited and the fact that FNAF 2 is
actually finally happening is pretty
freaking surreal. Same thing with
Security Breach 2. I mean, this has been
some crazy crazy reveals, especially
considering going into the anniversary,
we had so many FNAF fans saying that
we're not going to get anything. Nothing
ever happens. FNAF news has been so
slow. Why are you guys expecting
anything? Cut to at the end of the day
where we get a real life pizzeria,
security breach 2, FNAF World 2. We did
not get anything from Click Team or
Blumhouse, which I think were the other
two major projects we were hoping to
hear from. Click Team about Five Laps
and then Blumbhouse with the FNAF 3
movie. Don't worry though, I'm going to
have some videos coming up pretty soon
talking about Click Team and Five Laps
talking about FNAF 3 and what we want to
see in that movie. So, that is
everything revealed on FNAF's 12th
anniversary. It was a crazy day. I said
this during the live stream, but it
genuinely feels like this is one of the
biggest anniversaries we've had. I'd
love to know which announcement are you
most excited for? Happy 12th
anniversary. Seriously, this community
is amazing and I'm so happy to be a part
of it after 12 crazy years. Thank you
all so much for watching and I'll see
you all on the flip side.
