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.

Five Nights at Freddy's Anniversaries[]

1st Anniversary (2015)[]

On Scott Cawthon's website, he replaced the "The End?" image with an 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.

Note: Halloween Edition wasn't out at the time, thus explaining the lack of its characters.

2nd Anniversary (2016)[]

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

  1. Freddy Fazbear's model without his suit, however, still possesses 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: he is 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.

3rd Anniversary (2017)[]

Like last year, Scott uploaded another series of screenshots to his site. Some screenshots display hidden images of characters to promote the then-upcoming 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 and endoskeleton exposed, except for the head and hands. (Scraptrap's bony hand is seen.)
  4. Funtime Freddy doing a split dance. (Molten Freddy's wires and eyeballs are visible at the bottom left.)
  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 of the first game. (Scrap Baby's endoskeleton head was found on the backstage shelf next to the door.)

4th Anniversary (2018)[]

Fazbear Fanverse Anniversaries[]

FNaC 1st Anniversary (2016)[]

Emil Macko would release a teaser of Monster Cat for Five Nights at Candy's 3 on the 1-year anniversary of the Five Nights at Candy's series on July 18, 2016.[17]

FNaC 4th Anniversary (2019)[]

In celebration of Five Nights at Candy's 4-year anniversary, Emil would release both a Game Jolt page for Five Nights at Candy's Remastered and a dev log for it. In the dev log, Emil stated that he originally planned for the remaster to release on the 4-year anniversary of FNaC but wasn't able to due to issues that cropped up, adding that he planned to release the game in three days, on July 20, 2019.[18]

Emil Would also did a Q&A in the dev log:

  • What's new in this remastered version?

"All the game's code has been entirely rewritten from the ground and up (still using Clickteam), both because I wanted the game to be more stable and bug-free than before, and because I had no way of reading my old unintelligible code. All the game's graphics have also been improved. Renders are now rendered with Blender Cycles instead of the old Blender Internal. This gives much more high-quality and realistic lighting and textures. Just about every model in the game has been polished and upgraded, and the game now runs in true widescreen 720p."

  • How long have you been working on this?

"I'm very glad you asked. I started working last Saturday evening. That means I've been working on this to near-completion for a mere 5 days, which I am very proud of! (The original game took me 3 months to make.)"

"No, this is a remaster of FNAC 1."

  • Will there be a trailer for this game?

"Nope, that wouldn't make much sense. Plus it would probably delay the actual release by an extra day, which I'm guessing you don't want."

  • Will the game be out on any other platforms?

"Just like with all the previous FNAC games, this game will be exclusively for PC (and Windows, because of Clickteam, and because I don't own a Mac to test it on)"

FNaC 5th Anniversary (2020)[]

Emil would simply make a throwback post about the release of Five Nights at Candy's on Game Jolt.[19]

FNaC 6th Anniversary (2021)[]

Emil made a dev log for Five Nights at Candy's 4, from which he quickly mentioned FNaC's 6-year anniversary and how he never imagined him still working on the series, let alone having it still be remembered.[20]

FNaC 9th Anniversary (2024)[]

Emil released a "legacy demo" of FNAC FUR on Game Jolt, also announcing the game would be switched over to the GameMaker engine for the final version of the game.

POPGOES 1st Anniversary (2017)[]

A week before, on June 18, Kane Carter made a post on X/Twitter announcing that he would be sharing some content for the then-upcoming POPGOES 2 to celebrate the 1-year anniversary of the POPGOES series, on June 26, 2017.[21]

The first part showcased the Heartless Blake model, featuring a 360-degree view and various poses. The second part presented the history of Epitome Popgoes, including concept art, the progression of various models, and a definitive look at Epitome Popgoes. The third and final reveal was a thank-you image featuring optimized models of Blake the Badger, Saffron the Squirrel, Popgoes the Weasel, Sara the Squirrel, and Stone the Crow.[22][23][24][25][26][27][28]
