There are mainline video games, spinoff video games, toys, VR video games, and a film sequence now, and, nearly ten years to the day because the franchise’s debut, one other official spin off horror recreation has been introduced.
Secret of the Mimic is an formally licensed FNAF recreation coming from Metal Wool studios, who beforehand launched Safety Breach and VR recreation Assist Needed. The newest installment within the 5 Nights at Freddy’s sequence is presumably completely cannon like earlier Metal Wool video games, however is about to deep dive into a distinct set of characters. We look ahead to the discharge date of the horror recreation and speculate what we predict may occur subsequent within the Fazbear universe.
Secret of the Mimic launch date estimate
5 Nights at Freddy’s Secret of the Mimic is confirmed for a 2025 launch date. Whereas we don’t know any greater than this, we predict we could possibly be taking a look at a Q3 launch as a consequence of Metal Wool’s behavior of beforehand releasing video games within the latter half of the yr.
A 2025 launch date is pretty quickly for a recreation that has solely not too long ago been introduced, suggesting that the workforce believe in what they’ve received thus far. If no adjustments are made to this projected launch, we’re taking a look at 18 months tops, which isn’t a very long time in recreation growth world. With that in thoughts, we predict a Q3 or This fall launch is most lifelike.
Developer Metal Wool hasn’t been engaged on, or no less than hasn’t introduced, one other full challenge shortly. Their final full launch was Assist Needed 2 in 2023, earlier than which they launched Safety Breach in 2022. With no new recreation in 2024 and a historical past of launch dates within the second half of the yr, it might make sense that Metal Wool are pushing to stay to their 2025 goal, maybe in Q3 with a little bit of room to push again to November or December if needed.

Nevertheless, there’s a lot we will glean from this already.
Whereas the character proven is at the moment unknown within the franchise, we do know in regards to the titular Mimic from each Tales from the Pizzaplex and, extra not too long ago, the Safety Breach Damage DLC. Whether or not the character within the trailer is the Mimic or not we don’t know, as this doesn’t match his present look, however The Mimic has been identified to vary its look and, after all, mimic the actions and sounds of others.
The essential factor to notice right here is that the music enjoying over this trailer is recognizable to followers of the sequence as that which performs from The Puppet’s music field in FNAF 2, suggesting that the mysterious FNAF 2 character additionally performs a component by some means.
How The Puppet is integrated on this new recreation stays unknown, however an official caption accompanying the trailer on the Metal Wool X (beforehand generally known as Twitter) profile reads: “To see the longer term, generally that you must perceive the previous.” This hints that no less than a part of Secret of the Mimic is a prequel, or maybe its timeline splits and that is the Mimic’s most up-to-date kind. Both means, Secret of the Mimic might reply age-old questions on The Puppet and the Mimic. Might The Mimic even be The Puppet? We’ll simply have to attend and see.
