Developer Scott Cawthon has released the first trailer for "Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location," which takes the animatronics horror to a whole new level and to a brand new setting.

The new "Five Nights at Freddy's" game appears to take place in an underground facility, which is definitely a location fans have yet to see in the first titles, which were set in Freddy Frazbear's Pizza.

"Deep below ground... where memories sleep... anger is restless... and secrets don't keep," the "Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location" trailer teased. In between the phrases, animatronics are being assembled.

Although the animatronics featured in the clip are sure to horrify players, none of them will drive out the living daylight out of them like the one creature holding the microphone.

The closing seconds of the "Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location" trailer unmasked the new star of the game, a horrifying pig-tailed clown with big eyes that light up, an added touch that definitely brings the creeps to sky-high levels.

The trailer also revealed that "Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location" will be released this fall, presumably around Halloween. Cawthon is no longer willing to make the mistake of releasing a game ahead of schedule.

"Five Nights at Freddy's World," a spinoff to the famous indie survival horror point-and-click video developed by Cawthon, was poorly received by fans after it was released earlier than it should.

As a result, the game lacked vital elements, leaving fans feeling that it was released before it was even completed. That being said, Cawthon will use all the time he has to build "Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location" best.

The upcoming title was announced last month, as everyone who visited Cawthon's website was welcomed by a banner for the game. It was previously rumored that the game was revealed prematurely.
