Unveiling the Jaw-Dropping Secrets Behind FNAF Security Breach's Promise-Breaking Chaos!

Highlights

Introducing FNAF Ruin, a complimentary add-on to Security Breach that sets out to redeem the unfulfilled promises of the game by delving deeper into the series' ominous storyline and offering an authentic frightful encounter.

This downloadable content transports players years ahead of the Security Breach incidents, resurrecting forsaken locations and teasing the resurgence of pivotal components from the franchise's lore.

FNAF Ruin has the potential to establish connections with previous games, such as Sister Location and Fazbear's Frights, and rectify the mistakes made in Security Breach, showcasing that the series' finest days are yet to come.

Transitioning the beloved horror franchise into the modern era, Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach was highly anticipated. Promising a dark and lore-rich gameplay, developer Steel Wool Studios emphasized this in various interviews during development. However, as the release approached, Security Breach underwent editing to cater to a more family-friendly audience, resulting in significant changes to crucial lore revelations and dialogues. When players finally had the chance to play Security Breach, it fell disappointingly short of the promised experience. FNAF Ruin, a free DLC for Security Breach, aims to address these broken promises, bringing back the series' darker lore and offering fans a genuinely terrifying encounter.

Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach followed Gregory, a boy who found himself trapped at Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizzaplex. Gregory encountered a malfunctioning Glamrock Freddy and revealed that a woman named Vanessa was inexplicably pursuing him. As the story progressed, Freddy and Gregory became entangled in a series of peculiar incidents. Vanessa, the other animatronics, and Vanny, who was visible only to Gregory, joined forces to capture the duo while they explored the expansive Pizzaplex. Towards the climax of the game, Gregory and Freddy stumbled upon a startling realization – the Pizzaplex concealed profound secrets, including a direct connection to the notorious William Afton, the longstanding antagonist of the series.

FNAF Ruin Seeks to Contrast Security Breach's Muted Horror Experience

FNAF: Security Breach fell short in delivering the extensive lore that fans have come to expect from the series, while also toning down its horrifying elements. These shortcomings can be attributed to last-minute changes in the game's development, which altered important dialogue and narrative events in order to appeal to a younger audience. As a result, Security Breach suffered from both technical glitches and a disjointed storyline, leaving players confused and frustrated. Fans have since uncovered a significant amount of content that was originally intended for the game, including dialogue that would have connected Security Breach's narrative to the larger FNAF lore.

FNAF Ruin Seeks to Re-Establish the Series' Trajectory

- FNAF Ruin brings players back to the Mega Pizzaplex, years after the events of Security Breach. The developers aim to restore the series' horror roots, promising a much darker and more ominous tone compared to the base game. Interestingly, the DLC includes previously abandoned locations such as Chica's Bakery, which were hinted at in the trailer. Moreover, Ruin delves deeply into the lore of the series, setting the stage for major revelations that have been building since Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location.

Leading up to the launch of Security Breach, fans got a taste of what's to come with Fazbear's Frights, a compilation of 37 gripping short stories. These tales seamlessly intertwined, with each book's epilogue weaving them together to establish Sister Location's Circus Baby as the formidable force in the FNAF universe. However, Security Breach left fans perplexed, as it completely disregarded any connection to Fazbear's Frights. To make matters worse, it failed to acknowledge the events that directly preceded it, such as the introduction of its primary antagonist, Vanny, in both Five Nights at Freddy's: Help Wanted and FNAF AR.

Ever since the Security Breach, a much darker book series called Tales from the Pizzaplex has provided crucial context to the setting and characters of the title. One of the most significant revelations in this series is the presence of the mimic1 virus, which has complete control over the Pizzaplex and its animatronic characters. This virus has potential connections to Glitchtrap, Circus Baby, and Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Place. It has been uncovered that Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Place exists beneath the Pizzaplex in the Canon Ending of Security Breach.

The origin of the Mimic1 virus in the Five Nights at Freddy's universe can be traced back to an animatronic aptly named the Mimic. The Mimic was programmed entirely through teaching and observation, which greatly improved the creation of animatronic characters and business management systems. However, over time, the Mimic's programming became corrupted through a series of violent encounters. It learned to mimic human voices and used this skill to lure unsuspecting individuals to the darker areas of the Pizzaplex before ultimately killing them.

How Ruin Can Make Good on Security Breach's Broken Promises

While the original Mimic from Five Nights at Freddy's was salvaged, its corrupted program, known as the Mimic1 virus, unintentionally ended up at the core of the Mega Pizzaplex. This virus then became the basis for the animatronics found throughout the Pizzaplex. In Security Breach, players can observe hints of its implementation specifically in the Endo Daycare section. Although Gregory and Freddy manage to escape the Pizzaplex in the various endings of Security Breach, the Ruin DLC introduces a storyline where Gregory becomes trapped inside the Pizzaplex years later. It is highly probable that the Ruin DLC will unveil the Mimic lore, as Cassie, much like many others, is enticed to the Pizzaplex due to a distress call received over the radio.

While The Mimic may seem like just another addition to the complex lore of Five Nights at Freddy's, devoted fans speculate that its origins can be traced back to Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location. In that game, Circus Baby, the most prominent animatronic, is believed to contain elements of both Elizabeth Afton and Charlotte Emily. Towards the end of the game, players remove a chip containing the "parts that are good" from Circus Baby, while the rest is absorbed into Ennard and destroyed in Five Nights at Freddy's Pizzeria Simulator. Some fans theorize that this chip played a role in the creation of the Glitchtrap virus in Help Wanted, which mimics the crimes of William Afton portrayed in the game.

The details surrounding the acquisition of the Mimic1 virus by Circus Baby's chip in Five Nights at Freddy's remain unverified. However, the connection between Circus Baby and Glitchtrap creates an opportunity for FNAF Ruin to delve into the intriguing lore of Security Breach. The introduction of the Mimic in the game suggests that Circus Baby plays a crucial role in the Pizzaplex, aligning with the established lore from Fazbear's Frights and providing context for the events in Security Breach. With the release of FNAF Ruin, Steel Wool Studios has the chance to rectify the errors made in Security Breach, assuring both old and new fans that the series still holds its best days ahead.

Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach is now available for PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Series S, and PC. The Ruin DLC is set to launch on July 25, 2023, for PS4, PS5, and PC.
