Now, an official trailer has been released forFive Nights at Freddy’s: Security Breach Ruin, a massive DLC that looks to up the horror exponentially. While the trailer may appear to be a simple string of gameplay moments, die-hard fans of theFive Nights at Freddy’sseries were quick to identify major lore implications. The trailer’s dialogue and gameplay features prime theRuinDLC for some massive revelations. However, fans familiar with the larger lore of the Pizzaplex can see the pieces falling into place.Five Nights at Freddy’s: Security Breach Ruin’s mission is already clear.
Five Nights at Freddy’s Security Breachwas released in December 2021, and quickly proved divisive among fans. The story ofSecurity Breachlacked any major lore reveals, and its PC port suffered from a myriad of glitches. In the time since its release, however, many ofSecurity Breach’s biggest mysteries have been answered, as theTales of the Pizzaplexseries revealed the location’s darkest events and their true source. With theRuintrailer, it appears that Cassie will seek to free the animatronics, setting the stage forTales of the Pizzaplex’sbiggest reveals to make their in-game debut.

Cassie Will Seek to Fix Gregory’s Mistakes
Each entry of theTales of the Pizzaplexseries features a collection of short stories, detailing a range of minor and major events at the Pizzaplex through the use of parallel characters and events. Of the stories, few are as explosive asGGY, from the series' fifth volume,The Bobbiedots Conclusion.GGYseemingly reveals thetrue nature of Gregory’s time at the Pizzaplex, prior to the events ofSecurity Breach. Gregory, likely under the Glitchtrap virus' control, hacks the Pizzaplex’s arcade cabinets and animatronics using a modified playpass, leaving his digital signature, GGY, in the code of each device. Later the story connects the dots between Gregory and a series of missing person cases, providing a direct connection toSecurity Breach’s Retro CD recordings.
The first trailer forSecurity Breach Ruinsees a new protagonist, Cassie, called by Gregory to the Pizzaplex, a considerable time after the game’s conclusion. The gameplay hints that Cassie will attempt to freeFNAF’s Glamrock animatronicsfrom their virus. The trailer clearly hints at Roxy being freed, with another scene hinting at an attempt to free Monty. Cassie appears to be undoing Gregory’s hacks. Though, with Gregory seemingly guiding her, the motive is unclear. Given the context ofGGY, it is likely Cassie is being lured for a different reason, as her arrival parallels the circumstances under whichGGY’s missing persons were lured.
Ruin May Reveal The True Identity of Burntrap
TheRuinDLC’s trailer also appears to confirmSecurity Breach’s true ending. This conclusion saw the Pizzaplex collapse down on the underlying Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza Place, after Gregory’s face-off with Burntrap. Initially, fans believed Burntrap to be William Afton, resurrected by the Glitchtrap virus. However,Tales of the Pizzaplexhas seemingly revealed the character’s true identity and original source of the virus - The Mimic.
The Mimic is an animatronic endoskeleton with extensive connections toFive Nights at Freddy’slore. Designed to mimic best practices, a violent outburst from its creator leads to the corruption of The Mimic’s core program, mimic1. Soon after, The Mimic begins to impersonate people’s voices and lure factory inhabitants to their deaths. Following its unwitting adaptation throughout Fazbear animatronics, the mimic1 program continues to learn from observation, culminating in the Glitchtrap persona. With recentTales of the Pizzaplexentries explicitly stating that mimic1 has full control of the Pizzaplex,Ruin’s trailer paints a clear picture. A compromised Gregory or, more likely, The Mimic has plans for the Pizzaplex, and Cassie plays a pivotal role in its success.
Five Nights at Freddy’s: Security Breachis available now for PC, PS4, and PS5, with the Ruin DLC releasing July 2023.
