Five Nights At Freddy’s: Sister Location has a free Custom Night update that’s available for download on Steam. Its release was teased by franchise developer Scott Cawthon earlier this week.
From what we’ve seen, the non-canon patch essentially brings back the classic Five Nights At Freddy’s camera-watching gameplay that was mostly absent from October’s spinoff. Your favorite animatronics -- like Baby, Ballora, Funtime Freddy and Funtime Foxy -- are back in their original forms, and they’re ready to bust down the doors when you least expect it.
As Five Nights At Freddy’s fans will know, the true purpose of Custom Night is for players to set the difficulty of each individual enemy to whatever level they desire. In most cases this means cranking everything up to the highest possible setting while trying to survive one more night.
Cawthon noted in a previous Steam Community post that Custom Night won’t be unlocked for everyone that jumps into Sister Location right away. It will appear in the game’s extras menu, however, after earning a completion rating of three stars. This means you must have seen the Fake Ending by defeating Ennard in the Secret Room. That makes sense, because Custom Night takes place in that small, secluded space.
Because this is a Scott Cawthon game, we wouldn’t put it past the crafty coder to add some interesting Easter eggs and clues to this new update either. After all, finishing Custom Night has historically unlocked the most lore-rich conclusions. Just because the content itself is non-canon, what comes after it could still theoretically apply to the main story. There are lots of unanswered questions in Sister Location, so this added mode may point fans in the right direction.
To reiterate, the Five Nights At Freddy’s: Sister Location Custom Night update is free for anyone that already owns the game. The base experience can be purchased for $7.99. If you need help getting three stars, be sure to check out our complete guide as well.
