It would appear that Wrestlequest developers Mega Cat Studios have gotten involved in one heck of a collaboration with the Five Nights at Freddy’s IP. After some unfortunate leaks, it turns out that another Five Nights at Freddy’s game, Into the Pit, is in development. What’s more, it seems that Mega Cat Studios is officially developing the game. The indie studio and FNAF IP creator Scott Cawthon have promised that more information is coming in the near future.

Mega Cat Studios claimed it was given the greenlight by Scott Cawthon to announce Five Nights at Freddy’s: Into the Pit after some leaks revealed the game’s existence prior to the announcement. When the game started leaking, the Five Nights at Freddy’s Subreddit cracked down on leaks pretty hard, but Cawthon himself stepped in and said at this point it’s okay to talk about it:

For its part, Mega Cat Studios seems more than excited to share off what it’s been working on with Into the Pit as well. The teaser image shows what looks like a less decrepit Springtrap (the main antagonist animatronic from Five Nights at Freddy’s 3) lurking in a ball pit. It looks like it’s trying to be slightly cute, but anyone who knows the history of Springtrap is likely aware that it’s anything but. Either way, Mega Cat Studios is excited to show more of the game at a future date:

Previously, Mega Cat Studios developed Wrestlequest, which was a pretty fun wrestling RPG if you ask us. The studio has also had investments from the likes of Skybound Entertainment to help in its projects.

It looks like the upcoming Five Nights at Freddy’s: Into the Pit is set to be a major breakout for Mega Cat Studios. As we await further details on the game, keep it tuned here at Shacknews for updates.
