Many fans have been waiting for the new game series created by Scott Cawthon. This new game called "Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location," a spin-off from his original series, is set to have a different layout compared to the previous games.

The first three games were set in a pizzeria where a night guard had to check security cameras and try to survive from animatronic beings, while the fourth game revolved around a child shutting doors and checking locks to fight off his nightmare of animatronics. For the fifth series, Steam has revealed that "Sister Location" will be set in Circus Baby's Pizza world, entailing a pizza place like no other. Fans found a hidden link that shows the map of the incoming game, which includes a funtime auditorium and a circus gallery.

The map of "Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location" shows that the layout of the game is patterned like a cross, which can entail that the main character has four different directions to engineer, all the while defending against animatronic characters. The new layout and another component of the game, The Ballora song, suggests that a free-roam feature might be available in the upcoming game. There are also hidden rooms surrounding the Funtime Auditorium room, which might play a role in deciphering the story of the game.

Cawthon said in a post from Steam that he will not be releasing a second trailer. Fans have already gathered a lot of information about the game. Releasing more previews will spoil their experience, which is something that Cawthorn wants to avoid.

With regard to the protagonist of the upcoming "Sister Location," a game description from Steam revealed that it will be a technician. "Now hiring: Late night technician. Must enjoy cramped spaces and be comfortable around active machinery. Not responsible for death or dismemberment," the post said. The technician, aside from managing the fun pizza world, is expected to have the ability to disable animatronics instead of escaping all through the night.

"Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location" will be released on Oct. 7 according to Cawthorn's post on Steam.
