Following its PC launch in August 2024, Five Nights at Freddy's: Into the Pit is coming to consoles on September 27. As the newest spin-off in the long-running franchise, Five Nights at Freddy's: Into the Pit offers plenty of fun twists that console players will soon be able to enjoy.

The original concept of FNAF saw a heart-pounding first-person nightmare come to life, but Five Nights at Freddy's: Into the Pit may be the darkest game in the franchise. After young protagonist Oswald ventures into a pizzeria ball pit that teleports him into the past, players are tasked with keeping him alive for five days as the animatronic threats of the pizzeria lurk in the shadows. The title launched for PC via Steam on August 7, and later this month, console players will finally get to experience this unique spin-off.

FNAF: Into the Pit is one of the strongest spin-offs in the series, as many fans have applauded the game for its complex story that sets it apart from other entries.

There are many strong entries in the FNAF franchise, but FNAF: Into the Pit has proven to be a standout adaptation, and the title being introduced to an even larger audience so soon after its PC debut is an exciting development.
