Five Nights At Freddy's AR Brings The Terror Of Creepy Animatronics To Your Living Room

Five Nights At Freddy's AR Brings The Terror Of Creepy Animatronics To Your Living Room

Five Nights at Freddy’s, the smash-hit indie horror franchise about spending the night in a deranged kids play place overrun by twisted animatronic creatures come to life, is getting an AR spin-off later this year.

What better way to spend Friday the 13th than reading about an upcoming AR horror game spin-off for one of the planets most popular and recognizable horror brands? As someone that has sufficiently terrified himself with AR apps like Night Terrors and the Bloody Mary follow-up, as well as a slew of VR horror title such as Resident Evil 7, The Exorcist VR, and more, I can definitely say without a doubt that I have full faith that Five Nights at Freddy’s AR: Special Delivery is going to be absolutely terrifying.

Five Nights at Freddy’s AR is being developed by Illumix, a relatively new AR-focused start-up that wants to change the way games are consumed. “Augmented Reality offers new ways for players to interact and engage with their favorite franchises by blending real-world environments, fictional characters, and innovative gameplay,”said Kirin Sinha, CEO and Founder of Illumix in a prepared statement. “With Five Nights at Fredddy’s AR: Special Delivery, we wanted to evolve beyond the traditional AR-optional geolocation gameplay and deliver a more meaningful AR experience by having AR as the core component of the game.”

We don’t know much about the game yet, but I imagine it will be a bit like a mix of hide and sneak and trying to prevent the animatronic creature from getting to you just like other iterations. The screenshots below give a bit of a hint as to how the game will work:

The VR version, dubbed Five Nights at Freddy’s: Help Wanted, follows the same format as the non-VR iterations with you controller camera and door locks from a stationary location as you juggle blocking access with preserving battery life. A similar format could translate well to mobile AR if done correctly.

Five Nights at Freddy’s AR: Special Delivery is slated for release this fall, presumably in October I’d assume, and will be coming to iOS and Android devices. You can pre-register now on the official website.
