Five Nights at Freddy's: Secret of the Mimic released its first gameplay trailer, confirming a June launch on PlayStation VR2.
Following on from 2023's Five Nights at Freddy's: Help Wanted 2, Steel Wool Studios is bringing the next main entry to VR platforms as well. Previously confirmed for PlayStation VR2, Five Nights at Freddy's: Secret of the Mimic revealed our first public look at gameplay during Sony's latest State of Play presentation. You can watch that below.
Following the trailer premiere, Steel Wool Studios released more information about the game. Set in the abandoned workshop of Murray’s Costume Manor, you're tasked with unraveling a mystery left behind by its reclusive inventor. The Mimic can adapt to any costume it chooses, and you'll need to retrieve Fazbear’s prototype technology “while grappling with cryptic clues and a relentless shadow determined to dispatch all unwanted company.”
However, some confusion has now emerged regarding PlayStation VR2 support. While PlayStation Blog and social media state it supports the headset, the PlayStation Store page no longer mentions this following last night's reveal. We've contacted Steel Wool Studios to confirm if this is an error, also querying if PC VR support is planned. We'll update this article if we get a response.
We previously went hands-on with Secret of the Mimic during PAX West 2024, calling it a “decent entry-level VR game” filled with scares.
It's a harrowing experience with very little margin for error. The floor demo features typical locomotion with a 90-degree perspective snap that's bound to the right analog stick. In a decent quality-of-life option, anything I could interact with is given a blue outline as soon as it enters my range, and each area is carefully lit to highlight necessary features like gate switches.
Five Nights at Freddy’s: Secret of the Mimic arrives on June 13 for PC, PS5, and PlayStation VR2. PC VR support remains unconfirmed.
