Five Nights at Freddy’s: Secret of the Mimic – Release Date, Story & Trailer Breakdown
FNAF: Secret of the Mimic launches June 13, 2025! Dive into its eerie 1979 setting, terrifying animatronics, and deep lore. Plus, details on the next FNAF movie!

Horror fans, get ready to mark your calendars! The highly anticipated Five Nights at Freddy’s: Secret of the Mimic just got a brand-new trailer during the February 12 PlayStation State of Play, and it came with an official release date—June 13, 2025. That’s right, the next terrifying chapter in the FNAF saga is just a few months away!
A Long-Awaited Return to the FNAF Universe
This will be the first new FNAF game since Help Wanted 2 dropped in 2023, so naturally, fans are beyond hyped. The game was first teased back in August 2024 with a vague “2025” release window, but now we’ve got a concrete date—and an even deeper look into the chilling story.
What’s the Game About?
Set in 1979, Secret of the Mimic takes players back further than any other game in the series. It’s all about unraveling the origins of The Mimic, a creepy enemy first introduced in FNAF’s horror novellas. Expect eerie environments, intense puzzle-solving, and, of course, terrifying animatronic enemies lurking in the shadows.
The trailer shows players exploring an abandoned factory while searching for a lost prototype, all while being hunted by new nightmare-fuel animatronics. Sounds like a FNAF game, alright!
Release Date: When Can You Play?
- June 13, 2025 (yes, a Friday the 13th—because, of course).
That means it’s been almost two and a half years since the last main FNAF game, making this one of the longest waits in the franchise’s history.
The Future of FNAF: More Than Just Games
The FNAF universe just keeps expanding—not just with games, but also through books and movies. While Secret of the Mimic drops this June, fans will have another big date to look forward to: December 5, 2025, when the second Five Nights at Freddy’s movie hits theaters.
Is It Worth the Hype?
With FNAF’s track record, expectations are through the roof. Will Secret of the Mimic deliver the same heart-pounding tension and lore-filled mystery fans crave? We’ll have to wait and see—but if the trailer’s reception is anything to go by, this one’s already shaping up to be a hit.
