**The Joy of Creation: Ignited Collection** is an upcoming remake sequel for The Joy of Creation: Reborn and The Joy of Creation: Story Mode as part of The Fazbear Fanverse Initiative. It is a complete remake made by Nikson and sponsored by Scott Cawthon. Intended to be released in 2024 as one game containing TJoC:R and TJoC:SM, it was later delayed to an unknown date of the future. The graphics and gameplay are said receive a complete overhaul and TJoC: Reborn is said to have randomly generated levels and will function more like an arcade game, focusing more on high scores than a solid ending.

## Development

On August 21st, 2020, Scott Cawthon (creator of FNaF) made a Reddit post where he announced a fan initiative, The Fazbear Fan-verse Initiative, where a few popular FNaF fangame developers would be remaking, or making new games of their series.

* Emil "Ace" Macko (creator of Five Nights at Candy's) will be making Five Nights at Candy's 4 (working title).
* Nikson (creator of The Joy of Creation and Those Nights at Rachel's) will be making The Joy of Creation: Ignited Collection
* Kane Carter (creator of POPGOES) will be making POPGOES Evergreen
* Jonochrome (creator of One Night at Flumpty's) will be making One Night at Flumpty's 3.
* Phisnom (creator of FNaF fangames ANFNAFFGOS(Another FNAF Fan Game Open Source), FR3DD-Y2 p1223-R1a, Porkchop's and A Shadow Over Freddy's) will be making a remake-reimagining of the first Five Nights at Freddy's game: Five Nights at Freddy's Plus.

On August 23, Nikson made a post on his Game Jolt page, explaining The Fan-verse Initiative and TJoC: Ignited Collection as well as teasing the new models for Ignited Freddy and Chica. He also states that he has been thinking about developing the games more openly, showing the public direct behind the scenes footage of him working on new features instead of "cryptic teasers or boring character showcases with mysterious lighting."

On August 31, composer Nathan Hanover made a tweet with a video previewing the new theme for TJoC: Ignited Collection. He also uploaded the video on YouTube and on Reddit later that day. He said that he was very happy to return to the TJoC-theme after 3-5 years and that he couldn't believe that he was an official FNaF composer now thanks to Scott Cawthon.

## Trivia

* The fangames associated with The Fazbear Fan-verse Initiative will also most likely have mobile and console ports.
* Originally Nikson had said himself he didn't plan on making any more Joy of Creation games. While he changed his mind at this opportunity, this will be the last *FNaF*-related game he will create.
* The Joy of Creation is one of the only FNaF fan-games that has been recognized as an individual game by YouTube.
* The original The Joy of Creation was initially intended to also be remade and included in the Ignited Collection, however Nikson later stated that Classic Mode would be dropped in favor of focusing more on Reborn and Story Mode.
* Nikson has confirmed that Scott and his family will not be appearing in the remade Story Mode, which will instead focus on a currently unknown new protagonist on a mission to confront against Michael Schmidt to avenge the deaths of Nick Cawthon and his father Scott Cawthon.
