One of the most famous horror sagas of recent years will be released on Nintendo Switch with its original trilogy, full of jump scares and killer animatronics.
Although Halloween is already in the rearview mirror, this 2019 still awaits us more than a scare on Nintendo Switch. Five Nights at Freddy's 1, 2 and 3 will arrive on the console on November 29 and will do so only in digital format, priced at $ 7.99 per head in the eShop. The three ports are being developed by Clickteam, who will show a few weeks ago a first preview of what the saga will look like on its way to the platform:

One of the horror sagas of the moment
Five Night at Freddy's is a horror indie created by Scott Cawthon that was released for PC in 2014 and was popularized thanks to the huge amount of youtubers and streamers that were recorded playing it. Packed with scares and jump scares, it has a perfect format for thumbnails and video reactions. Since then the phenomenon has not stopped growing and the saga already has six deliveries, three spin-offs, a virtual reality version and up to three novel adaptations. An unprecedented success that made you rub shoulders of you in your day with games and sagas that took millions and millions in budget, and whose reasons for success we analyze in the article The Viral Terror of Five Nights at Freddy's.
In the first of the titles we put ourselves at the controls of the security guard of a pizzeria, which has to endure until six in the morning locked in his checkpoint. To achieve this we will have to prevent electricity from going out and monitor everything that happens in the premises through the restaurant's security cameras. Sounds easy, but far from it, because it will take up to five different killer animatronics to sneak between the recordings, all of them looking like a stuffed animal and eager to catch us off guard. Some mechanics that are preserved and enhanced in the aftermath, in which Freddy bear and company repeat. Definitely, stuffed animals with a hat and bow tie will never seem harmless again.
