Five Nights at Freddy’s: AR Fades to Black – Servers Shut Down After Bridging Franchise Lore
Launched in 2019, Special Delivery bridged the story gap between the games Help Wanted and Security Breach. Players stepped into a world where animatronics lurked in their surroundings, ready to jump out and terrify them. The game’s unique blend of AR technology and horror elements made it a standout experience for fans of the franchise.
Illumix didn’t catch players off guard. On February 1st, they announced that the servers for Special Delivery would close down on March 14th. Today, that day has arrived, and the game has officially closed its doors. The ability to download the game from Apple or Google Play stores was disabled earlier, ensuring that only those who had previously downloaded it could continue their eerie encounters.

As a parting gift, Illumix showered players with rewards. Reduced prices on in-game items, accessible DLC with Faz-Coins—these gestures turned the game’s final days into a celebration. While fans would have loved for Special Delivery to stick around indefinitely, this last hurrah allowed them to savour the experience one last time.
Although Five Nights at Freddy’s: AR might not be able to send chills down players’ spines through their phones any more, the franchise is still growing. The series’ distinctive blend of suspense and terror will continue to be delivered in future instalments, which fans can’t wait for.
