Video summary
Scott Cawthon's recent activity has revitalized the Five Nights at Freddy's community with a relentless stream of daily teasers following the franchise's twelfth anniversary. Initially, excitement focused on confirmations for *Security Breach 2*, *FNAF World 2*, and the upcoming permanent real-life Freddy Fazbear's Pizza in New Jersey. However, the momentum continued well beyond the anniversary month, with Scott Games posting new content almost every day starting from August 10th. This consistent output has transformed the official account into a dynamic hub that not only drops news but also actively engages with fans through promotions and community interaction, signaling a new era of marketing and communication for the series.
A major highlight of these updates is the release of brand-new cover art for the *Tales from the Pizzaplex* book series, illustrated by the talented artist Snartles. These covers feature stunning, high-fidelity artwork that brings characters like Mangle, Springtrap, and Funtime Freddy to life with incredible detail and vibrant lighting. The new designs have sparked significant discussion, particularly regarding the updated appearance of Baby, which blends elements from previous trilogies, and the terrifying yet beautiful depiction of B72, a character whose design is so intense it leaves viewers unsure exactly what they are looking at. Fans are eagerly anticipating reprints of these books with the new covers next year and hoping that similar updates will eventually be released for other series like *Fazbear Frights*.
Beyond the book covers, the teasers have revealed exciting developments for the real-life pizzeria and potential game collaborations. A teaser for the physical location in New Jersey hinted at a horror experience and included a mysterious badge referencing August 1980, fueling theories about the game's timeline, though the creator suspects it may simply be a reference to the real establishment rather than major lore. Additionally, there is strong speculation that the upcoming collaboration with Fortnite will finally happen this October, supported by in-universe posters for characters like Foxy performing at Pirates Cove and new merchandise promotions for Jazwares figures. The variety of content ranges from these major announcements to community engagement posts, such as sharing fan art and classic animations, demonstrating a comprehensive approach to keeping the franchise alive and thriving.

Hello, people of the internet, and
welcome back to another FNAF news video,
where we've been getting daily FNAF
teasers from Scott for the past 2 weeks
now, ever since FNAF's 12th anniversary
earlier this month. So, in today's
video, we're going to be breaking down
every single post from brand new book
covers to a brand new FNAF
collaboration, as well as a new poster
and info on the permanent real life
Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. So, if you're
excited for FNAF Scott Games teasers
finally making a comeback, subscribe to
the channel because, of course, we're
going to be breaking down every single
post from Scott Games. And subscribing
to this channel is the best way to stay
uptodate with everything FNAF. Like,
genuinely, it is so incredible to see
this account finally being put to its
full potential, finally being used
actively. Of course, it started off with
the FNAF 12th anniversary. We've covered
all this stuff before, so I'm not going
to dive too much into it, where you had
like Security Breach 2 confirmed by
Steelwolf. You had FNAF World 2 by
Megaat, the real life permanent Freddy
Fazbear's Pizza opening in the American
Dream Mall next year in New Jersey. But
it turns out Scott was not done because
a couple days later, only on August
10th, did we get this post, a brand new
Tales from the Pizzalex cover featuring
Lai, illustrated by Snartles. And we
were like, "Oh my gosh, this is
incredible. The Scott Games account is
posting outside of the anniversary.
That's that's amazing." And we're
blessed with such amazing talented art
by Stardles. This is incredible. What a
what a joyous day. And then the next
day, we got another cover, Haps. Once
again, more amazing art by Snardles.
We've covered this in a previous video,
so that's why I'm not spending too much
time on it. I still just can't get over
all of these updated book covers. They
look so so good. It's not been confirmed
if we're getting reprints of the books
with the new covers. I really really
hope so. And I do think we're going to
get that probably next year because also
August 11th, we go to August 12th and
it's another post, three days in a row.
and we're like, "All right, clearly this
is a pattern." So that's when I made my
video. We are getting daily teasers from
Scott. And it turns out that was
entirely accurate because still two
weeks out from the 12th anniversary,
this account is still posting pretty
much every single day. We got
confirmation that this poster is going
to be included in the Silverized trilogy
next year. It's of course an updated
version of the poster that came with the
threeack of the books years and years
ago. And it just looks so peak, man.
Like Mangle, Springtrap looks heavenly.
Funtime Freddy in the background.
Charlie and John looks so so good. I
cannot express how amazing it is to see
amazing artwork of human FNAF
characters. And I saw some people
confused by the design of Baby here.
It's kind of like a mix of Baby from the
Silverized trilogy and also Eleanor from
the Fazbear Frights books. But honestly,
I kind of dig this design and I think
it's come around to a lot of people as
well. I've seen a lot of like fan art
and fan models of this design. So,
that's really cool to see. And this
right here is why I think we are going
to get reprints or at least I hope so of
the Tales books because I don't see why
you would do a reprint of the Silverized
trilogy next year with this new cover
and not do reprints for the other books
that are also getting updated artwork,
you know? And that also begs the
question like are we going to see
updated covers by Snardles for like the
Silverized trilogy, Twisted Ones, The
Fourth Closet? We are coming up on all
the Tales books being updated with brand
new covers. So after they're done with
tales, do you think we're going to get
like updated covers for Fazbear Frights?
Maybe the interactive novels. I feel
like probably I don't see why you would
update one series with new art or I
guess two cuz the silver eyes poster,
but then not go back and do the other
series. So I do think once Tales is
done, we'll probably see updated covers
for Fazbear Frights. Anyways though,
everything here we've talked about
already. Let's get to the brand new
stuff. Starting off with the brand new
Somnophobia cover, which looks so peak.
It's a gem. The little orb, like the
dream orb. I haven't read the story. I'm
just hearing secondhand accounts, but it
looks so so peak with like the sun in
it. The moon looks so amazing. It's
really just the lighting, right? Like
how vibrant and saturated everything
looks and like the geometry with the
orb. It brings a tear to my eye. Like
this is an amazing amazing cover. The
next day, actually, we got a teaser for
the real life Freddy Fazbear's Pizza,
which kind of breaks the pattern, right?
We were getting book covers and book
related content, and then out of
nowhere, a teaser for the real life
pizzeria. I have seen some fans try to
like speculate the schedule that Scott
Games is going in. Truth be told, I
don't think they have a schedule. I
think they're kind of just posting
whatever they feel like day by day,
which is probably going to get more
apparent the further we go. But it says,
"What are you most hoping to see at the
real life Freddy Fazbear's Pizza? Help
wanted. We want you, me, to be the face
of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza inquire
Within." And actually, if you zoom in on
Freddy's badge here, you can see it says
Mike Schmidt hired August 8th, 1980
something, which I've seen some fans
theorize, "Oh my gosh, this confirms
FNAF 1 takes place in 198." when I feel
like this might just be a reference to
the pizzeria, like the real life
pizzeria, and not really have anything
to do with the game lore, especially
because it says August 8th, and we know
FNAF 1 takes place in like November from
the paycheck. Although, also, Phone Guy
in the Steam description do say new
summer job, so who knows? FNAF 1 takes
place in a time paradox. But this little
detail right here did get fans thinking,
what if this pizzeria actually has lore?
I really don't think it will. At least I
think if it does, it's not going to be
anything big. But we do know that
there's going to be like a horror
experience. So maybe that'll have some
small details. Though I also feel like
restricting lore to like a real life
pizzeria that a lot of people aren't
going to be able to go to. Though it is
permanent, so eventually maybe. I don't
know. Long story short, I don't know if
this is going to have lore at the
location. It'll be interesting if it
does, but if it does, I definitely don't
think it's going to be anything too
crazy that's like super important. But
then the next day, we get back to the
tails covers with sub mechanophobia. And
can we get some Fs in the chat for
Delila the mermaid? They freaking killed
her, man. This time, Zeus the sea dragon
takes the center stage, which honestly I
do not mind because I think he looks so
so peak. Those eyes, man, they they just
stare right into your soul. All of like
the hair as well is so incredibly
detailed. He looks so good. Genuinely
genuinely. He doesn't really look like
an animatronic, though. don't mind that
cuz honestly that kind of messes with
your mind cuz you can see like the endo
bits around the eyes but then also
everything else about them like looks
like a real life animal so it's like
it's super trippy you know I really dig
this cover I really dig all the brand
new covers honestly they did retweet
some hex promotion for the brand new
collection we talked about earlier so of
course they are going to be doing
promotion we're going to see later on
they also promote like you so FNAF fans
keep in mind this account is not just
going to be news 24/7 It's going to be
doing promotions and marketing, which is
equally as important uh as constant news
drops. And it also seems like they're
going to be covering a wide variety of
FNAF topics from books to merchandise to
real life attractions. The next cover is
the Bobby Dots conclusion. And I think
this may be one of my favorites simply
because of this endo right here. It
looks so peak, dude. Like the framing as
well, like the crack in the eye of the
bobby dots, which by the way got such an
abundantly noticeable upgrade. It's
crazy. All like the wires going into the
head, the hair still being intact, but
like everything else being ripped off,
the clothing tearing to shreds as well.
It It just looks so good, man. The
framing as well. Like I said, the crack
in the mouth and then on the eye of the
bobby dot. Like, it looks so good, man.
Genuinely, this may be one of my
favorite covers. I'd love to know which
new cover is your favorite. The next
day, we got a brand new art piece of
Freddy Fazbear, which is of course
incredible to see. Though, I do wish
they credited the artist cuz this
doesn't look like Snortles. What's your
favorite FNAF? What What's your favorite
FNAF game? What's your favorite FNAF
game from the classic era? So, again,
they're not just doing news drops,
they're also doing some engagement
posts. I saw some people theorize like,
"Oh my gosh, he's he's trying to bring
back classic FNAF and he's he's figuring
out what we want." Even though I do
think this is just engagement forming,
which is totally fine. And again, just
goes to show like the variety of posts
that we're going to get from FNAF Scott
Games. Like I said earlier, they did
promote some YouTube's products, um,
which went even still viral. A million
views on just a tweet about merchandise.
That's incredible. And I'm sure
YouTube's really appreciates this. Um,
you know, speaking of this Michael
figure, it'd be very curious to note,
and I'm sure we're never going to get
these numbers, but like how many units
were sold because of this tweet alone.
Cuz like I said, even though this isn't
anything big as well, like they were so
late to tweeting about this, they were
like a week or two late, it still did
super super well. So, it's really good
to see that again, they're not just
going to be doing constant news drops,
they're also going to be doing promotion
and marketing, which again, incredible.
The next post we got was a teaser for
the upcoming FNAF collaboration that a
lot of people suspect is going to be
Fortnite finally. I made a whole
dedicated video talking about this
collab. So, I'm not going to dive too in
depth here, but pretty much it boils
down to this post announcing a brand new
collaboration, was made the exact same
day the brand new Fortnite season
started, which is all themed to video
games, and even has a building being
constructed on the brand new map that
looks a hell of a lot like Freddy
Fazbear's Pizza from the movie. So,
hopefully pretty soon we can get more
details on this collaboration, though,
if it is releasing for Fortners in
October. We still have like a month to
go. Uh, and we're going to see later on
in their posts. A lot of people are just
going to be spamming them about the
collab. So, again, it's going to be
interesting to see how long they wait
for more details on the collab, but
hopefully we can get it pretty soon.
Though, as you can see, the next cover
is for Nexi, which at first I was like,
"Oh my gosh, they changed the design of
Nexi so much." But actually, I found out
that this design is what she's described
to look like in the book itself, and the
first book cover was just totally off.
So nice that they went back and actually
gave her her proper design for the
cover. The massive plushies in the
background looks so funny, but I love it
so much. And then we also got the cover
for Tiger Rock, which I know was a
highly anticipated cover. And he looks
so peak, man. I love the little glitch
effect in his eyes. He actually looks
like a proper glam rock animatronic now
with like the earrings and the and the
suit. Look at how shimmering and shiny
that suit is. He just looks so peak. I
saw a lot of people theorize that the
glasses here may be connected to that
sunglasses steel wallpost. They do look
a bit different, but also how crazy
would it be if Tiger Rock shows up in
Security Breach 2. I have seen a lot of
people be like, "Because of these new
covers, I actually want to read these
books now." So, if we're getting more
fans introduced to Tales and the Tales
characters, maybe now would be a good
time to bring them into the games. Most
recently, as I'm recording this video,
we have a blast from the past when DJ
Sturf dominated 50/20. Shout out to DJ.
I'm sure you're going to be watching
this video. Sending much love to you.
So, again, goes to show that they're
going to be doing like some community
engagement kind of stuff. They actually
did a lot of this in FNAF's like 10th
anniversary where they posted Doco
beating 50/20, FNAF not scary, you know,
honest trailers for FNAF, a whole bunch
of fan art and way back classic
animations. And so on August 24th, we
got another advertisement for some brand
new FNAF merch, which as you can see is
going to be the Endo series for Security
Breach, Glamrock, Freddy, Chica, Roxy,
and Monty by Jazwares, which is hitting
store shelves right now. I saw a lot of
people freaking out cuz they saw the
Glamrocks and they were like, "Oh my
god, they're adding the Glamrocks to
Fortnite." But once again, it's just
another teaser promoting merchandise.
Again, I think it's fantastic that
they're doing this. I saw a few people
point out that towards the end there is
a glitch that appears to show number two
in Roman numerals above the logo for
security breach. So, is this yet another
teaser for security breach 2 or is it
just a weird effect of the static
glitching out? Honestly, I'm not really
sure. There's nothing else that really
points this to being a teaser for
security breach 2. also seems weird for
them to go from like a number two to
Roman numeral 2 in two separate teasers.
Like I think they would just keep it as
the same written as number two. But I'd
love to know what are your thoughts. Do
you think this is another teaser for
Security Bridge 2 or is it just a
glitching effect? And then also for the
real life pizzeria, we just got this
brand new teaser for Foxy. It says,
"Between shows, swing by Pirates Cove
for a performance by the captain of the
Seven Seas, Foxy the Pirate." And then
you've got what I'm assuming to be like
a in universe poster that's probably
going to be up around the pizzeria
itself of Foxy in Pirates Cove. And it
looks so good. It's super pirate themed.
It's going to be interesting if it looks
like that on the stage. I really hope so
cuz I I would love that honestly. I saw
some fans point out that Foxy is not
damaged here either. He is fixed Foxy
technically. So, is the animatronic at
the pizzeria also going to be a fixed
version of Foxy? I wouldn't mind that. I
think it would be cool to see. Though,
another part of me is like, h, you know,
I kind of want to see Foxy like what he
normally looks like all withered and
broken. But also, I guess because he is
broken, that's why he's out of order in
FNAF 1. So, if he's performing here,
he's not out of order. Either way, I
think it's going to be amazing to see
Foxy between shows as well. makes me
feel like he's going to have his own
dedicated like show tape, his own
section for performances because we do
know there's going to be two animatronic
stage shows. One featuring Freddy Bonnie
Chica and then another featuring Foxy. I
do still hope there's some show tapes
that utilize both stages and both groups
of characters, even though Fox is on his
own. And also, yes, as you can see from
my tweet here, there are a few FNAF
World references in the brand new Foxy
teaser. But overall, I just love the
vibe that this poster is getting. Once
again, like an in universe poster. I'm
sure there's going to be this poster and
a whole bunch of other ones around the
pizzeria. Also, the first time that
we're seeing Foxy for the pizzeria.
We've got an artwork for Freddy Bonnie
Chica, but this one is the first time
we've we've seen Foxy. I still just
can't get over that next year there's
literally going to be a real life Freddy
Fazbear's Pizza that you can eat pizza
at. You can eat food. You can sit down
and watch actual animatronic FNAF
animatronics on a stage. And so, finally
for today, the wait is over. We have the
eighth and final cover for Tails. And as
you can see, this thing cooks B72.
It looks genuinely insane. My only
nitpick is it's missing the foot. So,
Snortles, I'm I'm sorry. I've been
praising you a lot. How dare you? But
seriously, again, like this may be one
of my new favorites. It looks so good. I
haven't read the story. I don't even
know what I'm looking at, but I know
that it cooks. You guys are going to
have to let me know down in the comments
what the hell even is this thing cuz I
got no idea. But it looks absolutely
insane. The mouth looks so terrifying
and like the purple intestines muscle.
Again, I don't know what I'm looking at,
but like with the one real eyeball and
then the other eyeballs like just pure
black and it's got a one white pupil
looking at you and like the skull is
like fractured up at the top. Oh my god,
it looks so good, guys. Genuinely,
genuinely, this makes me so excited. I
might finally read the books now. I got
to figure out what the hell I'm looking
at. What is on this brand new cover? It
looks so good. Again, I'd love to know
which new cover is your favorite. I just
made a tweet comparing the new covers
with the old covers, and it is like
night and day difference. Again, I think
my favorites are probably going to be
Somnophobia, Bobby Dots, uh, and then
B7, too. Honestly, like this one looks
terrifying. It looks so so good. That
concludes the updated covers for Tales
from the Pizzalex. Again, hopefully next
year we can get reprints with these
brand new covers. I'm I'm pretty
positive that they're going to do that.
It's not been confirmed, but I hope so.
And then maybe hopefully we can also get
updated covers for Fazbear Frights cuz
that would be so cool to see. Imagine
like Pit Bonnie and Emma style. There's
a lot of Frights covers that I would
love to see get the Snortles treatment.
So again, I really hope we can get some
updated covers for for Frights. That'd
be so amazing. But that is going to do
it for today's FNAF news video. Probably
quite a bit of a long one. There was a
lot to go through for Scott games,
especially because I kept recording and
then having to add more because I'm
like, I want to wait for the final Tales
book to upload the video. But it is just
so incredible to see this account
finally active, finally keeping us
updated with what's going on, promoting,
marketing, teasing. We are in some very
exciting times for FNAF, and I cannot
wait to see what the account has in
store next cuz I do not think this is
just going to be like a one-time thing.
I don't think they're going to stop once
like the August is over, the anniversary
month is done. I have a feeling this is
going to go on for quite a long time. It
seems like we are entering a brand new
age of FNAF, one that is going to be
rich in marketing, communication,
community engagement. So, I I cannot
wait. Thank you guys so much for
checking out this video and subscribe
because even though FNAF Scott Games has
stolen my job, I am not quitting.
Appreciate you guys checking out the
video and I'll see you all on the flip
side. Goodbye.
