Behavioral interaction reveals its new killer, Springtrap, and how his creativity will help Freddy's Five Nights Fans feel at home Died during the day Launched on June 17, 2025.
The behavior shared new information about its latest terrorist crossover, with the upcoming chapter's Public Test Build (PTB). This deep dive includes the first detail of Springtrap's classic five nights inspired by the power of Freddy Inspiration His reveal earlier this monthexcept for clumsy animation how to exploit the jump scare mechanic, is different from anything seen in asymmetric horror games that act so far.
The studio said its highly anticipated crossover chapter is positioned as “one of the biggest games to date.” This is largely thanks to Springtrap, a stalking, axe-wielding yellow rabbit known as Animatronic in the daytime World of Death. The sinister villain has a long and complicated position on the Freddy legend for five nights, but never actually becomes a playable character, which makes the act free to act with what fans think they know about him.
Springtrap uses a giant pizza knife as his main weapon and fire axe to provide his power. This is the latter that players find most useful, as it can be used as an AOE tool that reveals the survivors of the killer. If thrown well enough, you can put it on the back of another player, and it's a chance to trigger five nights of horror in Freddy's style jump scare if Springtrap is a delete it.
In addition to the special sauce for the behavior, it included five nights at Freddy's movie star Matthew Lillard, which provided sound and similarity for those who picked up the animated yellow bunny legendary costume. Other Springtrap costumes include the legendary Glitchtrap costumes as well as the very rare clown Spring Trap and poisonous Spring Trap costumes, as well as the T-shirts from Freddy Fazbear.
Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria died in the daytime
Springtrap is the killer of daytime killer death, and fans want to see years of introductions, but he actually represents only half of what the new chapter brings. While there are no new survivors, players can enjoy a run of running in the new Freddy Fazbear’s pizzeria map, which is rooted in entertainment with this iconic pizza restaurant with several twists and turns from the entity.
Highlights of the new location include its front entrance, kitchen, janitor room and dining room, and yes, the Freddy Band (including Bonnie and Chica) also attended the party. Freddy's Fazbear's Pizzeria is another haunting map. We have to wait and see what secrets it hides until the player does it himself.
Thankfully, you don't have to lock in the new map to taste the familiar five nights in Freddy's gameplay. Anyone who finds himself escaping Springtrap from any map will find new security doors, cameras and special offices that have been generated. These are more than just real callbacks to the classic experience, as survivors can use these elements to track Springtrap – as long as you have enough battery power.
If you are interested in trying SpringTrap yourself but don't want to wait, we have good news: Freddy's PTB chapter PTB's five nights released today at 9 a.m./12 p.m. ET.
