I've been browsing the wiki and it says Fnaf 4 is confirmed to be in 1983 due to Scott saying the "1983 vs 1987" debate for Fnaf 4 was solved by Game Theory.
On the Fnaf 4 page, Five Nights at Freddy's 4 | Five Nights at Freddy's Wiki | Fandom, it says "Chronologically, this game is a prequel to Five Nights at Freddy's 2 and takes place in 1983, making it the first game in the series."??
This "1983 vs 1987" debate is refering to when the Minigames took place (specifically when "THE BITE" happened), and if the Bite was "The Bite of '87", which it's been confirmed during the Week Before that there WAS a Bite in '83, which was originally called "the big bite".
However, the Night-time gameplay has never been confirmed to take place in 1983.
The only thing that MIGHT confirm it is the SL's Bunker Code linking to the cameras showing the Fnaf 4 Bedroom.
The ways the Minigames/the Big Bite are linked to 1983 however are way more clear.
The main piece of evidence comes from the Fnaf 4 minigames themselves show "Fredbear & Friends; 1983" playing on the TV during one of the minigames.
HOWEVER, the Night Gameplay being linked to 1983 is contradicted ALSO by Fnaf 4 playing Phone Guy's Fnaf 1 Night 1 Phone Call during the Night Gameplay's ambience. (Look on the Bedroom | Five Nights at Freddy's Wiki | Fandom page for "A rare ambient clip of Phone Guy in Five Nights at Freddy's 4.")
Scott also confirmed in the First Dawko interview that "People thought I filled the Game (Fnaf 4) with RANDOM easter eggs this time. I Didn't."
Scott also confirmed in the First Dawko interview that "People thought I filled the Game (Fnaf 4) with RANDOM easter eggs this time. I Didn't."
So Phone Guy's Night 1 Phone Call being in Fnaf 4's Night Gameplay Ambience as an Easter Egg (Scott didn't do "Random Easter Eggs This time" for Fnaf 4) shows Fnaf 4's gameplay was planned to happen AFTER Fnaf 1, which is Years after 1983. (Fnaf 1 is Confirmed to be after Fnaf 2, which is in 1987)
And 1983 being the minigames, later media references to 1983, and Scott saying the debate about "when the Bite took place" was "put to rest" by Matpat's theory (which said it took place in 1983), confirms the minigames are showing the events BEFORE/During the Bite of '83.
So why does the Wiki page for Fnaf 4 say it's confirmed to be a prequel, even though ONLY the minigames are confirmed to be in 1983??
