After a tumultuous release, Scott Cawthon’s Five Nights at Freddy’s World has been fixed and re-released for free on Game Jolt.
This new and updated version is said to include a “remodeled” overworld, along with the requisite patches and bugfixes, making it a much more complete product than what was offered on Steam last month. Cawthon says as much in an update:
- This is the first updated version FNaF World, featuring a remodeled overworld and many other new features. More updates to come!
- Featuring the entire cast from the Five Nights at Freddy’s series, this fantasy RPG will let players control their favorite animatronics in a an epic animated adventure!
- With 40 playable characters, multiple endings, multiple difficulties, and a great soundtrack from artist Leon Riskin, FNaF World hits the ground running and doesn’t stop. Take control of Freddy and the gang as they set out on a quest in the world beneath worlds, a world that reflects the actions and deeds of the “flipside”, where things have started becoming distorted and broken. Lead your team deeper into this digital world to find the source of these glitches and monsters, and restore it to what it was designed to be- a safe haven.
Though Cawthon was criticized for releasing the game early, he has been remarkably repentant towards the series’ fans and has handled the fiasco much better than some other indie developers.
