It may still be August, but Five Nights at Freddy's 4 developer Scott Cawthon has already outlined plans for the game's Halloween update.
On the game's Steam page, Cawthon wrote: "The October 31st content will be an automatic update, not DLC. It will update the game to 1.1 and will include lots of goodies on the extras menu (for those who have beaten night 6), including a cheat menu, a challenge menu, and a twist on a familiar minigame that provides a boost when playing challenge modes. This also means that there will be a whole new set of stars to earn for those who are up to the challenge!"
The extras mentioned above will definitely be released for the game and Cawthon hopes to have something extra ready by then – either a demo or sneak peek of his next game, which he says will not be Five Nights at Freddy's 5.
In the same update, Cawthon discusses the story secrets of FNaF4, which he says no one has discovered yet. Noting that he was amazed at the speed with which players found lore and story in each preceeding episode, he says not one player has cracked FNaF4 so far.
"Somehow…. no one, not a single person, found the pieces," he writes. "The story remains completely hidden. I guess most people assumed that I filled the game with random easter eggs this time. I didn't. What's in the box? It's the pieces put together. But the bigger question is- would the community accept it that way? The fact that the pieces have remained elusive this time strikes me as incredible, and special, a fitting conclusion in some ways, and because of that, I've decided that maybe some things are best left forgotten, forever."
