Fans are eager to playFive Nights at Freddy’s: Security Breachwhen it comes out. However, theFNAFcommunity has a strong connection to Scott Cawthon, the creator of the game series, and stand by his decisions in regards to the game franchise. One of these decisions is to have control over leaks of the game’s content. However, Funko released a calendar for 2021 back in April, calling the newFNAFgame Pizzaplex. Cawthon was upset by this leak, since the collectible company had not used finished designs for the characters and called the game by the wrong name. In spite of this violation, he continued to allow Funko to createFNAFmerchandise.
However, Funko took to Twitter to showcase the new collectible figures for the upcoming game. Many fans are upset by this due to the company going outside of Cawthon’s wishes to release this information on his schedule. Some are concerned that this action will motivate Cawthon to remove Funko’s merchandising license for theFNAFgameand book series, while others are upset by the character designs as well. Cawthon responded to the issue on the franchise’s subreddit, telling his fans that “things will be happening very, very differently going forward.” However, he did not go into detail about what changes would be occurring due to this incident.
ThoughSecurity Breachwill be coming out later this year, fans are excited to see where Cawthon takes theFNAFfranchise. Hopefully, there will be more authorized leaks around the game in the future.
