Five Nights at Freddy’s: Secret of the Mimic Set for Nintendo Switch Release in June 2025

Five Nights at Freddy’s: Secret of the Mimic, the latest installment in the iconic indie horror franchise developed by Scott Cawthon, is officially making its way to the Nintendo Switch.

The game is slated for a global release on June 13, 2025, with eager fans able to purchase it digitally via the Nintendo eShop. Since its inception in 2014, the Five Nights at Freddy’s (FNaF) series has captivated players worldwide with its suspenseful gameplay and mysterious lore.

With Secret of the Mimic, the franchise expands its universe further, bringing a fresh yet terrifying chapter to both longtime followers and newcomers on the Nintendo Switch platform.

Previously launched on other platforms earlier this year, this Switch release ensures that Nintendo fans will soon experience the latest chills firsthand. In Five Nights at Freddy’s: Secret of the Mimic, players are invited to step into the eerie halls of Murray’s Costume Manor—an abandoned workshop shrouded in secrets.

The narrative centers on the enigmatic Edwin Murray, a reclusive inventor whose unfinished creations and hidden motives power the game’s sinister ambiance.

As players explore the manor, they must outwit The Mimic: a prototype endoskeleton capable of adapting to any costume and transforming into the embodiment of their worst fears. Armed with only a limited array of gadgets, their wits, and a heavily censored corporate briefing, players embark on a treacherous mission to recover Fazbear’s prized prototype technology.

The gameplay promises a mix of tense exploration, puzzle-solving, and evasion, as cryptic clues and lurking dangers intensify the challenge.

According to the official synopsis, players can anticipate adrenaline-pumping encounters while unraveling the mysteries of Edwin’s unfinished experiments, all while evading the relentless threat that shadows them throughout the journey. This release marks another milestone for Scott Cawthon and the Five Nights at Freddy’s franchise.

The series, which began with a single PC title, has since grown into a cultural phenomenon, boasting over a dozen games, multiple spin-offs, and a substantial presence across gaming platforms—including a strong showing on the Nintendo Switch.

Five Nights at Freddy’s games are consistently among the most downloaded horror titles on the Nintendo eShop, reflecting their broad appeal and enduring popularity. Five Nights at Freddy’s: Secret of the Mimic will be available exclusively via digital download for the Nintendo Switch.
