Five Nights at Freddys Creator Talks About How He Chooses Collabs

Highlights

  • Scott Cawthon is cautious about collaborations since he wants to protect the Five Nights at Freddy’s brand from misrepresentation by third parties.
  • Fans are eager for characters to appear in Fortnite, but Cawthon’s recent comments suggest some games may not be good fits for crossovers.
  • The franchise continues to expand with a Funko Fusion collaboration and plans for a film sequel, though, showing no signs of slowing down. It will be interesting to see what collabs do happen in the future.

As a longtime gamer with decades of experience under my belt, I can’t help but feel a mix of emotions when it comes to the potential crossover between Five Nights at Freddy’s and Fortnite. On one hand, I’ve been a fan of Scott Cawthon’s horror masterpiece since its inception, and the thought of seeing those terrifying animatronics invade the battle royale world is downright exhilarating.

In an open discussion, Scott Cawthon, the mastermind behind the “Five Nights at Freddy’s” series, shared insights into his selection process for partnerships and collaborations involving his characters and franchises. He emphasized that he exercises caution when lending out his characters and brand, as he is meticulous about maintaining the integrity and reputation of the “Five Nights at Freddy’s” brand in the hands of third parties.

As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but yearn for the day when the enigmatic characters from the highly successful and eerie horror game series, Five Nights at Freddy’s, make an official appearance outside their own universe. Yet, these creepy creatures have yet to grace any platform other than their own franchise. However, this hasn’t deterred us fans from dreaming that they could potentially be part of a collaboration event in Fortnite, a game renowned for its pop culture crossovers as an integral part of each season.

As a die-hard gamer, I can’t help but feel a pang of uncertainty after Scott Cawthon, the genius behind Five Nights at Freddy’s, shared a tweet hinting that some games might not be a great fit for collaborations. Although he didn’t explicitly name any titles, Fortnite enthusiasts, like myself, couldn’t help but feel a twinge of disillusionment when they read the news and responded with expressions of disappointment.

FNAF Creator’s Comments Sow Doubts About a Fortnite Collab

Currently, the popular series has only been involved in one significant collaboration so far – the upcoming joint project called “Funko Fusion” featuring Freddy Fazbear as a Funko Pop figure. This game is scheduled for release towards the end of this year. While it’s uncertain how audiences and critics will respond to it, some fans might be encouraged by the prospect that Markiplier Cawthon may not have ruled out the idea of further crossovers altogether.

It remains unclear if Cawthon’s comments suggest a reluctance to feature characters from Fortnite, but including them would undoubtedly excite fans. It’s worth noting that there are other games where fans are eager for the characters to appear, such as Dead by Daylight, and discussions about Five Nights at Freddy’s characters in that game have been frequent too.

For now, the franchise is thriving without any signs of a decline. This momentum stems from the financial triumph of the Five Nights at Freddy’s movie adaptation, which will soon have a sequel. Additionally, the video games have been growing, venturing into virtual reality with titles like Five Nights at Freddy’s: Help Wanted and its newer version, Help Wanted 2.
