Five Nights at Freddy’s Games (in chronological order)
For those of you who want to play the Five Nights at Freddy’s games in chronological order and understand the story as a whole, we’ve done our best to place them in story order. However, if you have a different theory about ordering this franchise, please share it in the comments.
1. Five Nights at Freddy’s 4 (2015)
Available on: Android/IOS, Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One
If you follow the timeline of Five Nights at Freddy’s, the game that actually starts is Five Nights at Freddy’s 4, set in 1983. This is likely due to an Easter egg in one of his post night minigames. You can interact and watch the TV in the living room. After a number of clicks, you’ll eventually see a commercial still from the show Fredbear and Friends. The date under the title suggests that the show aired in his 1983.
However, compared to previous versions, FNAF 4 has different settings. This time, you play as a young child in your bedroom instead of as an office security guard. Throughout the night you have to run from your bedroom door to your closet (and even check your back in bed) A variety of terrifying enemies appear, mostly nightmarish variations of the original animatronics They are: Freddie, Bonnie, Chica and Foxy. Listen to them and keep a flashlight nearby to scare them away.
2. Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 (2014)
Available on: Android/IOS, Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One
Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 is the next chronological playthrough where players go to the newly opened Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza and work the night shift as security guards. FNAF 2 also introduces new animatronics in addition to the updated version of the classic. These new additions are Puppet and Balloon Boy, so you’ll have to keep an eye on the camera.
This time around, we’re also given Freddy Fazbear’s head, just in case the animatronics end up in the office. Turning this on will make it harder for most animatronics to recognize you and leave you, giving you a little more time before dawn. Some music boxes need to be rolled up to keep the puppet away. Keep the music box moving because this animatronic won’t let your despicable fake Freddy head fool you.
The game is set in 1987, so I placed it second in the chronological play. This can be inferred from the yearly date on the pay check you receive at the end of the fifth night.
3. Five Nights at Freddy’s: Sister Place (2016)
Available on: Android/IOS, Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One
Unlike its predecessor, as its title suggests, Five Nights at Freddy’s: Sister Location takes place in a separate spot called Circus Babies Entertainment and Rentals, and also features its own animatronics. This time, you play as a technician who works the night shift and must complete a series of tasks while surviving animatronics.
Five Nights at Freddy’s: Sister Location is actually a bit difficult to put on the timeline, with many fans still debating when it can be set. The reason I chose this slot is because of the line he says HandUnit at the start of the game. “With the tremendous success and unfortunate closure of Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, it was clear that, no joke, the stage was set for a new competitor in children’s entertainment.” This line may refer to when Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza closed in ’87 after FNAF 2, and was also featured by Phone Guy in Night 1 of FNAF 1. So for now it seems appropriate to have a sister location between these two of him. Let me know your theory in the comments section below.
4. Five Nights at Freddy’s (2014)
Available on: Android/IOS, Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One
The person who started it all. Five Nights at Freddy’s was the first game in which players assumed the role of a security guard to watch Freddy Fazbear’s pizza on his five night shift. Mainly, you should focus on the animatronics there. Chica, Bonnie, Foxy and of course Freddy Fazbear. Their behavior has become a bit unpredictable lately, and they like to roam free at night…be careful not to break into the office.
In addition to cameras that need to be checked, players can also close nearby security doors if animatronics break in. that too Closed at night. However, be aware that the amount of power that can be used is limited. When it goes off, goodbye doors and lights!
Five Nights at Freddy’s takes place a few years after the aforementioned game, probably somewhere in the early ’90s. This can be inferred from Fonggai’s conversation in the first night. There he states that animatronics used to be able to walk around during the day, but “then had 87 years of impact.” This will help place him after FNAF 2 and before his FNAF 3 which we will discuss next.
Five Nights at Freddy’s 3 (2015)
Available on: Android/IOS, Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One
According to Five Nights at Freddy’s 3 Steam explained, the game is set “30 years after Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza closed”, and given that it’s the time when Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza closed permanently, it’s set after the events of FNAF 1. And if we’re talking about the early 90s, it’s after the events of FNAF 1. , will be set around the 2020s. It also takes players to a brand new place… Fazbear’s Fright: The Horror Attraction. Yes, this new attraction is based on the terrifying events that happened at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, and it’s got the old animatronics from there as well, and it’s really nerve-wracking!
Once again, you step into the position of a security guard overseeing the attraction and its “great new relics” that have been picked up. As before, there are security cameras to monitor, but this time, maintenance his panel to reboot systems that have gone offline and close vents to prevent creepy animatronics from crawling into the office space. There is also
Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria Simulator (2017)
Available on: Android/IOS, Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One
Tired of security and maintenance jobs? Why not venture out and run your own pizzeria? Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria Simulator lets you do just that. But don’t worry, this game is not without fear. You need to keep the animatronics away from you even when you’re in the office, and there’s a lot to keep an eye on when you’re in the office.
Not only should you have your computer nearby to keep an eye on everything and complete your task, but you also need to watch for anything that might enter the vents on either side of your body. However, both the computer and the vents make quite a bit of noise, so you have to close the vents in turn to hear your surroundings.
Throughout the game, you’ll also collect animatronics. One of them is Springtrap, and his first appearance in the series was in FNAF 3, a game that follows his chronological playthrough.
Five Nights at Freddy’s: Help Me (2019)
Available on: Android/IOS, Nintendo Switch, Oculus Quest, PSVR, PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One
Five Nights at Freddy’s: Looking for Help This is the first step into VR for the series, which will soon be released on PC and consoles, with a sequel planned for later this year. Five Nights at Freddy’s: Help Me 2 For PSVR 2. Developed by Steel Wool Studios in collaboration with Scott Cawthon, Help Wanted lets you play a variety of mini-games featuring familiar animatronics and experiences from earlier games in the series.
But where does this game fit in the timeline? In the “welcome” message at the beginning of the game HandUnit says: […] That’s why we’ve recreated many of these completely fictional scenarios (lies) that you’ve been given over the past few years into hilarious VR games. And given that Help Wanted recreates situations from previous games in his timeline up to FNAF 3 on the list, it makes sense to put it after that game and near Pizzeria Simulator. It is fulfilled.
Five Nights at Freddy’s: Special Delivery (2019)
Available on: iOS/Android
Five Nights at Freddy’s: Special Delivery is an augmented reality game released on mobile devices just months after Help Wanted. Just as Help Wanted immersed himself in his FNAF in VR, Special Delivery did the same by bringing home animatronics. In this game, you must monitor them as they roam the room with your mobile device and use your flashlight and controlled shocks to stop them.
Like Help Wanted, Special Delivery involves Fazbear Entertainment’s own division. Now, the Fazbear Funtime Service is the one sending animatronics to your home, and when it comes to the franchise timeline, it makes sense to create something like this around the time of Help Wanted’s The Freddy Fazbear Virtual Experience. It’s suitable. Consider how HandUnit explains at the beginning of Help Wanted, “Fazbear Entertainment is thrilled to be part of the digital age, and there’s no better way to do that than with a virtual reality experience at the edge of your seat.” And that seems to be the case. This is their first attempt, and this will be their second.
Five Nights at Freddy’s: Security Breach (2021)
Available on: Google Stadia, PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch
The latest Five Nights at Freddy games, security breachis the second game in the franchise developed between both Scott and Scott. steel wool studio, followed by Help Wanted. It’s a free-roaming survival horror where at night Freddy plays as a boy named Gregory who gets trapped in Fazbear’s mega-he pizzaplex. Throughout the night, he must survive various animatronics, but with amazing help along the way.
Played in chronological order, this game will be the last. This is largely inferred from the fact that Freddy Fazbear’s has grown into a megapizzaplex, but he’s one of them has his moments as well. ending This helps make sure it’s set after one of the aforementioned games. However, to avoid spoilers, you’ll have to reveal that ending yourself.
