Scott Cawthon is reportedly set to release Five Nights at Freddy's 4 on August 8 to coincide with the series' anniversary.

According to Design & Trend, Cawthon also plans to release a DLC for the game on October 31, to ensure a release on Halloween. All along until now, it was speculated that the game would launch on Halloween. By pushing the date ahead, Cawthon reportedly wants the final game in the series to launch on the same day Five Nights at Freddy's was launched in 2014.

Further boosting talk that the game is set to release on August 8, is a new teaser image posted to Cawthon's Indie DB page. The image is captioned 8815, which fans have interpreted as August 8, 2015.

Design & Trend also reported that a teaser trailer is set to release. This was again mentioned in the email Cawthon sent.

"Ok, here is some news for you, and you're welcome to make a youtube video to announce it if you want! I'm going to release Five Nights at Freddy's 4 on August 8th for the 1 year anniversary of Five Nights at Freddy's. To keep the Halloween date special however, I'll be working on a free update with extra content to release on October 31st. I also plan on having a trailer ready for next weekend!" Cawthon wrote in the email to a YouTuber Dawko, according to Destructoid.
