The release date forFive Nights at Freddy’s: Secret of the Mimicmay not have been officially announced, but one deliberate detail in the games nevertheless points to a likely date. In the past, the release schedules ofFNAFgames have been full of surprises, even if a date is officially announced. Nevertheless, it seems that a clear clue may have already been given to fans regarding the next game, with some exciting implications.
It is effectively a tradition forFNAFreleases to arrive earlier than expected. For example,FNAF 2was released a month ahead of its planned release in November 2014 instead of December. Similarly,therecentFNAFspin-off gameInto the Pitwas accidentally released a day early during the franchise’s 10th anniversary celebrations. As a result, even seemingly firm release dates forFNAFgames are often treated more like guidelines. This means that speculation regarding this point can often crop up as new games are announced, even ifthe complex lore ofFNAFis usually the natural focus of discussion.
Secret Of The Mimic Could Release This April
Help Wanted 2’s Update Provides A Strong Hint Toward An April Release
Help Wanted 2’s teaser update provided some intriguing details regardingSecret of the Mimic, and progressing to the end of its content requires the use of two numerical codes. The first is “1979”; this is the second time this year has been referenced in relation toSecret of the Mimic, suggesting thatSecret of the Mimic’s timeline placementwill dive into a very early part of the Fazbear brand. However, the second code, “4625” has no clear connection to establishedFNAFlore. Instead,this code may be indicatingSecret of the Mimicis intended to release on June 11, 2025.
This April date is derived from dividing the in-game code into 4/6/25.
It is important to note thatthis potential release date is nothing more than speculationat present.

Although with that being said, given the franchise’s reputation, it would certainly make sense for a subtle hint aboutFNAF’s next release date to be provided in this manner.
Help Wanted 2’s Code Won’t Be Insignificant
The Franchise Would Not Provide A Code With No Meaning
Of course,it is almost certain that 4625 is a code with a deliberate meaning. Again,Five Nights at Freddy’s has long since developed a reputation for providing key lore through seemingly small details, making it extremely unlikely that this choice of numbers was simply random. For example, it is worth noting that “4625” is also a Microsoft error code for a failed account log-on. This could mean the number actually references somebody attempting to access the M.X.E.S. console, which is what accepts the code at the very end of the teaser inHelp Wanted 2.
