First, the DLC is no longer a paid DLC as fans believed. Instead it will come as part of a regular game update to version 1.1. This update will contain new content for the extras menu including: a cheat menu, a challenge menu, and a new mini-game that will offer a boost when playing challenge modes.
Second, the DLC will not reveal what is inside the infamous box at the game. While fans have anticipated the upcoming DLC for that very reason, Scott feels as though it might be best to leave the ending ambiguous. In his own words:
Fans were quick to rush to the comments section, begging for Scott to release the contents of the box. However, without a single fan theory coming close to the true answer we may be doomed to never know. As it stands, several fans have challenged Scott to release the contents of the box if they are able to find out what the true story behind FNAF 4 is. At this point in time Scott has yet to release any reply to these challenges.
While I have never played the Five Nights at Freddy’s games myself, I have always been interested in the fan theories surrounding the game. In fact, it was because FNAF has such a twisted and well-hidden lore that I added it to my list of favorite games for storytelling and lore. The gamer part of me truly wants to know the meaning of the box, but the fiction author part of me feels like Scott might be right. If the ending is left ambiguous it could stand as one of the great Gothic stories of the 21st Century, and giving away the truth of the infamous pizzeria might just ruin it.
What do you guys think? Do you feel like gamers are getting ripped off by being denied the true ending? Is the game ending the way it is the perfect Gothic story? Leave your opinions in the comments section below!
