On April 1st 2022, Emil Macko premiered a fake Five Night's at Candy's 4 trailer for April Fool’s Day. His announcement has a small hidden message in it, and combining all the bold-texted letters will have a message that says "Dont Forget". On February 2022, Emil posted his mini update status about the game. On August 2020, with the following announcement of the Fazbear Fanverse Initiative, Emil uploaded a new teaser of Forgotten Candy with the Mini Candies. And of course, since the first three games are considered as " the Mary Schmidt saga", there's an entirely new protagonist that you will play as in FNAC 4. There will be not only new counterparts of the pre-existing robots but also brand-new animatronics. FNaC 4 will have the largest cast of characters out of all previous games, both people and animatronics. Mary's story is done, and instead, this time the focus falls on something important that's been relatively hidden in the background of the FNaC storyline Rowboatics Corp. This game has nothing to do with Mary Schmidt from the earlier FNaC games (nor anyone related to her). Candy will be the main antagonist this time. The game's graphics will be completely rendered with the Blender Cycles engine, which will make it the graphics look much better and much more realistic than any previous FNaC games. So dedicated players may want to play the game more than once. The game will mostly be non-linear in structure, and will include some replay value.
The game will be a point-and-click free-roam game inspired by Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location.He never actually confirmed it until the end of August, he revealed that the game will be very different compared to previous games, and will, for the first time, feature free roaming. On June 2018, he posted a picture of a puzzle, solving it will lead them to a video on his channel, teasing another Five Nights at Candy's game.
However, he never announced the game until later on so that he won't let anyone down by canceling it. But the game later grew in size and Emil decided to make it another Five Nights at Candy's game.
It was originally going to be a very small and short game which featured the FNaF characters instead. Emil Macko first had the idea, and started to make another entry to Five Nights at Candy's series since around December 2017 to January 2018, as he had some more ideas for new mechanics.
