## **Development**

With the following reveal of *Freddy in Space 2'*s production, the teaser from Scott's main website, http://scottgames.com, shows off another upcoming game. It shows that the game will be set inside a mall-like building with an 80's-style motif. Freddy Fazbear's Pizza being a restaurant inside the mall. Also included is a laser tag arena, an arcade, and what looks to be a cinema. In the main square of the mall, an animatronic band consisting of new "glamrock" animatronics (Glamrock Chica, Glamrock Freddy, Montgomery Gator, and Roxanne Wolf) play for an excited crowd waving glowsticks. It is entirely possible some of these animatronics are new characters, however.

When looking into source code from the website, a hidden conversation between two characters can be found. It reads as such:

>
> *Stay the course.*
> *I will.*
> *Focus on my voice.*
> *I will.*
> *Don't let anyone lead you astray.*
> *I won't.*
> *Have you selected one?*
> *I have.*

On September 29, 2019, scottgames.com was updated with a new teaser featuring the new version of what seems to be Freddy Fazbear. While the file is named 7\_1.jpg, if the teaser is opened in Notepad, the text "`G l a m r o c k _ F r e d _ P o s t e r`" can be found. This may imply the new set of animatronics will be known as the glamrock animatronics, with glam rock being a term referring to rock musicians in the 1970s that "wore outrageous costumes, makeup, and hairstyles, particularly platform shoes and glitter." The name found in Notepad also leaves the possibility open that the animatronic featured may be a version of Fredbear instead of Freddy.

On November 5, 2019, the teaser for "Glamrock Fred" was updated. From the image's left side close to "Glamrock Fred's" head, a silhouetted human/rabbit-like figure is silhouetted against the sky. Looking into Notepad, another string of characters can be found reading "`S h a d o w o f V a n n y.`" Given the recent discovery of Reluctant Follower in *Five Nights at Freddy's VR: Help Wanted*, her relation to the rabbit mask, and the generally feminine figure of the shadow, some believe this to be the Reluctant Follower and that her name is Vanny.

On March 24, 2020, a new teaser is uploaded on scottgames.com. The teaser poster reveals a brand-new animatronic with a design based on an alligator. The file name is referred as "Montgomery.jpg", and when converting the image to metadata, his name is revealed as Glamrock Monty.

On April 21, 2020, the characters' names are leaked from Funko's list of upcoming products, including in a respective order: Glamrock Chica, Glamrock Fred (as Glamrock Freddy), Glamrock Monty (as Montgomery Gator), Roxanne Wolf, and Vanny (as Vannie).

On April 24, 2020, the game's upcoming 2020-2021 calendar is found at Amazon. The cover (although it was subject to change later on) reveals the renders of Montgomery Gator, Glamrock Freddy, and Roxanne Wolf.

On May 5, 2020, scottgames.com is updated with a new teaser, showing off a neon sign with Glamrock Freddy's shape and the revealed title - *Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach*. Behind the franchise's trademark logo from the top are faint glows that somewhat appears to be police LED light bars as indicated by the red, white, and blue tints.

On June 11, 2020, scottgames.com is updated once again. The new teaser reveals a female security guard, who will serve as either the main protagonist of the game or a supporting character. On the same day, Scott confirmed that the game is set to come out around the end of the year.

On August 7, 2020, another new teaser is uploaded to scottgames.com, featuring the full body of the new character and antagonist - Vanny.

On September 16, 2020, the teaser trailer was launched during the PlayStation 5 Showcase event. The video shows a couple of new rooms and inside the mall restaurant, as well as instituting a new animatronic with a grinning crescent moon for a face and a new sun animatronic seen in a poster. At the end, the game was announced to be a Playstation console exclusive for the first three months after its release on PC, Playstation 4, and Playstation 5. While a release date has not been confirmed yet, this would likely mean the game will not come out any earlier than November 12, 2020, the same date as the release of the Playstation 5.

On November 17, 2020, Scott Cawthon made an announcement stating that, due to the size of the game being much bigger than expected coupled with the complications of having to work from home during the COVID-19 pandemic, the game was being delayed from a pre-Christmas release until early 2021.

Steel Wool Studios announced on January 11, 2021 that the second trailer will be released tomorrow during the GeForce RTX: Game On Broadcast. The next day, the video was uploaded, featuring some new locations and new robots. Few hours later, Scott made a Reddit post to announce that the new video is more of a tech-demo than a real trailer, while confirming that the real second trailer is due in March.

On February 25, 2021, the second trailer for the game is publicly shown during the PlayStation State of Play livestream. The video reveals that, besides revealing some core gameplay elements and newer locations, the game allows the player to walk around freely, unlike any previous installments. The video reveals the cast of main characters, including Vanny, Vanessa, all four Glamrock Animatronics, the moon animatronic, as well as the physical reveal of the unnamed sun animatronic. At the end of the trailer shows a reaching arm of a new ominous animatronic.

On March 13, 2021, Dawko in his charity stream slowly reveals a total of nineteen new *Security Breach* screenshots. First, he uploads fourteen main screenshots to display numerous views of environments and some new locations. Dawko later went on to reveal five extra screenshots: Four screenshots display the glamrock animatronics' home stages, while the fifth and last screenshot reveal what seems to be an underground sewer location with a severely damaged Glamrock Chica and other destroyed objects.

On April 28, 2021, Scott announced that *Security Breach* was delayed to late 2021, and to satisfy the fans while waiting for the game, Scott released a beat-'em-up fighter spin-off game *Security Breach: Fury's Rage* on Game Jolt for free.

On September 1, 2021, Steel Wool Studios launched a website for *Security Breach*. The website takes place in the office room with a huge static-screened monitor, which was used for displaying a series of *Freddy & Friends: On Tour!* shorts as teaser videos. When hovering the mouse cursor around, random corrupted texts will pop up, displaying "*Having fun?*", "*Stay hidden*", and "*Just a glitch*", as well as displaying "*You cannot save this*" when attempting to save the static monitor gif image by right-clicking it. Clicking on Steel Wool Studios' logo from the left monitor redirects to their YouTube channel. Also, clicking on the security badge case will emit a honk noise, one of the franchise's recurring Easter Eggs. If attempting to access the green-lighted button after modifying the source codes, the text will display with "*Someone's watching*".

On September 18, 2021, the website was updated. The security badge case no longer has a honk noise, but Glamrock Freddy's plushie can emit a new honk sound when booping the nose. Hovering over a pizza box displays the text "*pizza DELIVERY*". The screensaver monitor from the right can now be interacted, as double-clicking the screen causes the Pizza Plex logo icon to change into a rendition of *Security Breach'*s logo with Montgomery Gator replacing Glamrock Freddy, and hovering the cursor over it displays the crocodile emote (🐊). Finally, when waiting for a little while, the shadows of swaying tentacles (similar to the shape at the end of the first *Freddy & Friends: On Tour!* episode) will be shown on the main monitor for few brief seconds before fading away.

On September 21, 2021, the website was updated once again. Monty's popsicle was added to the desk, a bag of Meat Bites found next to the pizza box, and the corrupted "*Stay away*" text will appear when hovering the cursor around. Few minutes later, the second *Freddy & Friends: On Tour!* episode was shown. From the video, another hidden image appears at timestamp 0:43 for a split second, revealing what appears to be a withered version of Monty and a "**REV531**" text from the top left corner. As soon as the episode ends, the sun animatronic seen from the latest previous trailer shows up and soon switches as a moon animatronic, hinting that both characters may be the one same entity. The glitching six digit numbers appear, with number 1 appearing as the third number: "**??1?2?**"

On October 1, 2021, the website's office desk is now added with Pizzaplex coffee cups behind the phone, and the Monty popsicle appears to be melting. Double-clicking the screen-saver monitor now displays Glamrock Chica's and Roxanne Wolf's logo, and hovering the mouse cursor over displays a chick and wolf emote (🐥🐺). Hovering the cursor anywhere will also display another hidden glitched text - "*be careful*", and a non-glitched "*I thought I heard something...*" text when hovering over the phone. Occasionally, the movement of The Daycare Attendant can be heard.

On October 5, 2021, the website's office desk is updated with Mr. Cupcake and the hotdog at the left side, Glamrock Freddy's plush replaced with Roxanne Wolf's (although no longer honkable), and the security badge case is once again honkable. At the same time, the third *Freddy & Friends: On Tour!* episode premiered. Two more hidden images appear, revealing the withered versions of Roxanne Wolf (timestamp 0:12) with the text "**Z2E**" and Glamrock Chica (timestamp 0:34). At the end of the video, a new spider-like animatronic (later revealed to be a Music Man counterpart) with gloves is seen walking past the screen. Once again the glitching six digit numbers appear, with number 1 appearing as the first number: "**1?1?2?**"

On October 15, 2021, the website's office desk earned another update. The main monitor screen somehow begins to crack around the sides, the screen-saver monitor is now shattered and no longer does anything when clicked, some items (such as the hotdog and Mr. Cupcake) are scattered, and the melting Monty popsicle is smeared over the desk. The desk is added with a Foxy chocolate bar, a paper ball, and some empty cups.

On October 19, 2021, the fourth *Freddy & Friends: On Tour!* episode premiered. A hidden image of Vanessa's close-up briefly flashes at timestamp 0:18, containing captions found around the image: "**Bleak Reactant**", "**Test and Fix**", and "**Pool**". Also, glitching yellow and purple bit-blocks will randomly appear throughout the episode, and if putting the screenshots together like a puzzle, an image of Glitchtrap is revealed, confirming that Glitchtrap will indeed return in *Security Breach*. Finally, Vanny appeared as soon the episode ends, asking "*Are you having fun yet?*". The glitching six numbers now ends up as "**1?1?21**", drawing closer to the game's full release date.

On October 27, 2021, a final trailer was revealed during PlayStation State of Play livestream. The trailer reveals newly improved graphic designs in comparison to the first trailers, new gameplay features (such as climbing inside Glamrock Freddy for self-defense), and some clear glimpse of new enemies who were first introduced in the *Freddy & Friends* shorts' hidden scenes. At last, a full release date was revealed: December 16, 2021. Around the same time, Ray McCaffery, the executive producer of the game, posted a PlayStation blog post to explain the game's new gameplay details and how the game itself really works, while confirming the addition of unique office escape games, boss fights, more enemy types, and unlockable arcade minigames.

On December 2, 2021, the game's Steam page is uploaded, and it also comes with some brand-new screenshots.

On December 16, 2021, the game was officially released.
