After arriving on PlayStation VR2 last December, Steel Wool Studios has now announced a non-VR version of Five Nights at Freddy’s: Help Wanted 2 will be coming to the PlayStation 5 on June 20. This version of Help Wanted 2 “seamlessly transitions the terrifying gameplay experienced in the PS VR2 game onto the flat screen utilized by the power of the PlayStation 5.”
Taking place between the events of Five Nights at Freddy’s: Security Breach and its story DLC, Five Nights at Freddy’s: Help Wanted 2 has you as the new hire, where you’ll have to prove you have what it takes to work in all aspects of Pizzeria management and maintenance. Your job comes down to a series of tasks, with the most important being able to punch out from your shift alive.
Help Wanted 2 contains several minigames across the Pizzaplex, which have been adapted from the original VR controls. For example, Captain Foxy’s Log Ride now operates as an FPS as you float through the old West as a gunslinger.
And for those who purchased the VR2 version, you’ll be getting the “flat screen” version for free.
And for those keeping tabs on the sequel to the 2023 film adaptation directed by Emma Tammi, things are humming along with pre-production, with Jim Henson’s Creature Shop returning to provide the animatronic monstrosities again.
