The Past Repeats Itself
While this teaser isn’t too telling of what is to come in the next game, there are some hints about what fans can expect from the title, including a character that is a fan-favorite amongFive Nights at Freddy’slovers, named the Mimic. For those who watched the teaser closely, the number1979can be seen at the 0:24 mark. The number represents the year that The Bite of 79 happened, which is infamous in theFive Nights at Freddy’suniverse as a pivotal part of the lore. The description for the teaser also states that the game will delve into the past in order to understand the future.
The Mimic will have a major part in this installment, given that their name is in the title, but why is this character, in particular, the one to have the spotlight? According toFandom, the character made its debut inTales from the Pizzaplex, an anthology series of horror novels written by series creator Scott Cawthon. Without giving much away on those, the Mimic was created in the late 1970s by Edwin Murray, who built a robot with the ability to mimic and respond to his actions. Tragedy struck Edwin, and he let out his anger towards Mimic in the form of violence…you can see where this is going given the robots' learning abilities. Being that it’s an exoskeleton, the robot can hide in various costumes, which will give future players a level of suspense and tension that previous titles in the franchise haven’t explored yet.
