This is a list of official anniversaries celebrated for special events, like announcements for the upcoming game, the future of the franchise, behind-the-scenes, etc. The official anniversary date is August 8th, the same date on which the first game was released.

Franchise Anniversaries[]

1st Anniversary (2015)[]

On Scott Cawthon's website, he replaced the "The End?" image with the appreciation image showcasing all of the recurring animatronic characters from the first four games, barring JJ, Shadow Freddy and RWQFSFASXC, all six phantoms, and all nightmare animatronics from the fourth game's Halloween Edition. (However, note that Halloween Edition wasn't out at the time, thus explaining the lack of its characters.)

Thankyou

2nd Anniversary (2016)[]

Once every hour, Scott released a series of screenshots at his website to show points in development of the character models and some of their jumpscares.

  1. Freddy Fazbear's model without his suit, however still possessing the mask. The screenshot reveals the production date for the first game - May 28, 2014.
  2. Bonnie holding his own mask up. Note that his bowtie was black instead of red.
  3. Chica's showcased model, with Mr. Cupcake winking and smirking.
  4. Untattered Foxy giving thumbs up with both hands. Note his missing shoulder tuffs.
  5. A production of Bonnie's jumpscare. Note that Freddy was seen at the West Hall.
  6. A production of Chica's jumpscare.
  7. Springtrap with his corpse head and chest fully exposed.

Like last year, Scott uploaded another series of screenshots at his site. Some screenshots display hidden images of characters to promote the incoming release of Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator.

  1. Withered Freddy without the suit on his head, showing his endo head.
  2. The display of three Freddles, originally referred to as "MiniFreddies".
  3. Springtrap with most of his corpse/endoskeleton exposed, except for the head and hands. (Scraptrap's bony hand is seen.)

  5. Circus Baby holding her own head. (Scrap Baby's pigtails are seen.)
  6. The display of Exotic Butters, originally referred to as "ExoticMegarines".
  7. The display of Little Joe's doll.
  8. The display of the Magician's toy.
  9. A view of Bonnie staring at the surveillance camera at the Backstage from the first game. (Scrap Baby's endoskeleton head was found on the backstage shelf next to the door.)
