A few weeks after the existence of a new and upcoming FNAF game was announced, Scott Cawthon has released the trailer for the game, giving us a glance at not only a good deal of the animatronics in action and a release date… but also a chilling little voiceover that seeks to remind us seemingly of the origin of the killer animatronics’ life.

From what we can gather from the trailer, there seems to be some element of things hidden away ‘underground’ although the animatronics we see look far from abandoned or broken. What they do look is quite disturbing, especially the clown-looking one in front – commonly speculated to be named “Baby” which is a known name for one of the new animatronics.

The voice pleads with us over and over, “please don’t hold it against us… you don’t know what we’re been through”. Previously it was speculated then all but confirmed in previous games that the original four of FNAF 1 were possessed by the souls of murdered children, so one has to wonder if something similar is making “Baby” and their fellows dance and menace the player this time.

Rather worryingly the first time we ever heard of “Baby” in a FNAF context was towards the end of FNAF World’s Update 2, in which (without spoiling anything) we were warned that something terrible was coming and that it was too late to turn ‘her’ off. That game’s ties to the FNAF series are a little bit up in the air, but there are signs that certain previous endings were very much linked and the entire world seems to be some ‘other side’ that feeds back to the horror games.

Once again, the series throws up some more mysteries in the form of killer robots in child-friendly shells. Who knows just what we’ll discover this time in the sister Location…?
