Five Nights at Freddy's creator Scott Cawthon made an update on Steam announcing a new game in the series called FNAF World. It is not FNAF 5, but instead, an RPG.

I think it's interesting to see Cawthon do something different with FNAF. It's a recognizable brand and cash cow at this point, but they're his characters and I like the idea of creators doing whatever they want with their creations.
I also am willing to bet money* that it's all an elaborate setup to lure the player into a false sense of security in order to deliver a jump scare when they least expect it.
*Am not actually willing to bet money.

Hi everyone, this is a big update! 
I wanted to keep my plans for a new game secret until Halloween, but while my teasers have created excitement for some people, they have created some confusion as well, mainly because people don't know if the Five Nights at Freddy's story is over or not.
It's very important for me to say again that there will NOT be a Five Nights at Freddy's 5. The story is complete, and the Halloween update and new game will not add to it.
That being said, I wanted to use these characters in a new and fun way because they are so near and dear to my heart, and I was excited to work on a type of game that I hadn't made in a long time.
The new game that I'm working on will be called FNAF World. It will not be a horror game, but a role playing game where you create a party using the huge selection of characters from the FNaF games, including the classic, withered, phantom, and nightmare versions. I've been working steadily on characters and hope to start on enemy models next week.
The bad news is that it's unlikely that a demo will be ready for Halloween like I had hoped, since this game's scope is significantly larger than previous games in the series. However, I will release a free demo, as promised, as soon as it's ready!
FNAF World will be released on PC, Android, and iOS. I don't have an estimated release date yet since the game is still early in development.
I hope you enjoy the new designs of the "adventure" characters, as I call them. Stay tuned for more updates!
