    A whole year in advance to know about it too, huh?

    Wonder if it's just skins then? I can't imagine they'd tease a chapter this far in advance.

    I basically know nothing about this franchise but we're finally free from FNAF fans ruining the comment sections so that's already cool in my book.

    They probably announced it now cause FNAF has 10 year anniversary event atm, with interviews with scoot cawthon etc. Also Cawthon always loves to do these things and reveals this way

    I mean, Iron Maiden and Slipknot were teased earlier than their releases too. My only other proof toward this being a chapter is Dracula since he was shown off at the end of the anniversary stream, but a whole year?

    Personally I do hope it's a chapter, and I'm not even excited for FNAF content. I mostly want the fans of FNAF to get something and add more to the game than just skins.

    @SweetbutaPsycho You do have a point there, too.

    The fact they revealed this so early tells me this chapter is going to be awesome!

    I'm happy for behavior and all of the FNAF lovers.

    personally I don't want to see these childish animatronics in a trail but it will surely bring in fans. whatever i guess

    And now the debate begins between whether we'll be seeing Freddy and Co as killers or if Springtrap is going to get the slot cause he's the main villain.

    Revealing an IP early can sometimes be a mixed bag.

    If the game is in a rough state, they sometimes reveal things early to draw more hype towards the game, like what happened with Sadako Rising, it can definitely work but kills a lot of the hype once the chapter itself releases.

    I think the only reason why this was revealed an entire year early might be due to contractual obligations forcing them. The game is doing well because of 2v8, and FNAF is a massive IP, so we are not having a repeat of Sadako here.

    Why would they announce something so far away? They dont even know whats happening next patch LOL

    Certainly wasn't on my bingo card yet (was going to give the announcement until March, but this works too).

    But now I get to watch from the sidelines as a certain few individuals (not listing names for obvious reasons) throw hissy fits for one reason or another, so that's fun.

    Now we can say "this game is coming to the end". My God, FNAF. Decadence.

    just FYI, Twitter embeds still work if you edit the link and replace x with Twitter.

    … which is super funny to think about.

    I guess it's about time. I don't have any complaints. It's more horror than D&D was.

    I'm praying the Tr Theme contains elements of Vanta Black from Sister Location. It'd work perfectly as the ambience for some of the earlier levels.

    I’m so hyped I was never expecting to see FNAF being added I can’t contain how happy and excited I am

    But I have a little problem why reveal it so early? I wish this was kept a secret until the anniversary so we could all be even more hyped

    other than that I’m so happy and excited

    I really, really hope that BHVR gives us a map from one of the 3 original games. They would be so amazing 😍

    And yeah, I'm really happy that FNAF is finally coming to DBD! I've been wanting this for so long 😊

    I'm not sure how you can stretch a pizzeria into a DbD-sized map without being completely silly about it, but I welcome them to try. They could use the mall from Security Breach but that place had very poor atmosphere, in my opinion, so I would prefer not.

    i mean initially it was a bit more kid friendly since we didn’t really know alot about fnaf’s lore when it fnaf 1 released, later on it got less kid friendly the more lore released about it

    They probably dont want the FNAF-Fans to spam that whenever a new Chapter is about to release that the Killer is Springtrap due to some obscure clues. So they just bring it over it so that they dont have to deal with it for another year of releases.

    my inner child is excited for this

    I still have a soft spot for fnaf in some ways

    10 year anniversary, fnaf being one of the most requested chapters ever. Maybe a mix of both. Might just be a trend of them showing things early like they did with Castlevania.

    that would have been awesome though imagine BHVR themselves giggling that all these fans are spamming FNAF and they reveal it actually is FNAF and everyone gets hyped about it

    I’m excited but I would have been even more hyped if they kept this a secret until the anniversary

    I’m not a fan of that honestly I liked there old model of not revealing things this early I’d rather them reveal it the day of ptb so we have no clue who it is like a smash brothers reveal
