Five Nights at Freddy’s: Secret of the Mimic Gets Physical Release Date on Nintendo Switch

iam8bit has officially announced its latest physical release for Nintendo Switch enthusiasts: Five Nights at Freddy’s: Secret of the Mimic.

The eagerly anticipated retail edition will begin shipping to customers starting July 3, 2026, providing long-time FNAF fans an opportunity to experience the suspenseful horror title in a collectible format. Five Nights at Freddy’s: Secret of the Mimic, which made its digital debut at the end of 2023, is developed in collaboration with the renowned studio behind the FNAF series.

The physical version, available as a standard edition, stands out thanks to exclusive extras aimed at dedicated collectors.

Each copy includes a unique 12"x18" fold-out poster and a digital download code for the game’s immersive soundtrack, offering added value for those who appreciate both the gameplay and the haunting music that defines the series. As described in official materials, Secret of the Mimic ventures players into the eerie and abandoned workshop within Murray’s Costume Manor.

Throughout the experience, players must unravel a mysterious narrative left by the elusive inventor Edwin Murray, all while avoiding the relentless pursuit of The Mimic—a prototype endoskeleton capable of morphing into countless terrifying forms.

The gameplay blends stealth, puzzle-solving, and resourcefulness, challenging players to recover prized Fazbear prototype technology and escape with their lives. In a recent statement, iam8bit representatives emphasized their excitement for the Switch community to access this physical edition, highlighting the exclusive items and the ongoing legacy of the Five Nights at Freddy’s franchise on Nintendo hardware.

The physical release not only celebrates the latest chapter of FNAF but also underscores the growing demand for tangible editions in an increasingly digital market. The Nintendo Switch platform continues to be a key destination for horror and indie games, with Five Nights at Freddy’s: Secret of the Mimic joining a robust lineup available on both the eShop and in physical retail.

Pre-orders for the physical edition are now open, giving fans a chance to secure their copy ahead of the official shipping date.
