As of November 10th, 2026, Today marks the 12th anniversary of Five Nights at Freddy's 2 and that of Purple Guy.
To anyone who sees this, do you have any memories with FNaF 2 you'd like to share?
In the files of the Five Laps at Freddy's demo, unused text was discovered for each of the game's playable roster consisting of a description and their first game appereance.
In the files for the Five Laps at Freddy's demo, placeholder icons for Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, Foxy, Puppet, and Springtrap can be found.
As well as icons for Circus Baby and Roxanne Wolf, who were not playable in the demo.
No such icons for BB and Mangle were found however.
In the novelization for the first Five Nights at Freddy's film, William doesn't say anything to Mike during their confrontation.
This is most noticeable during the scene in which "Symmetry, my friend" was said in the film.
He only starts speaking once Vanessa shows up.
As of 10/27/2026, it is the 3rd anniversary of the film "Five Nights at Freddy's" and its take on William Afton.
To anyone who sees this, what are your thoughts on the film? Personally, I think it still holds up fine and easily has one of my favorite takes on the character.

This marks William's third appearance in a crossover, with the prior two being a blink and you'll miss it cameo in Funko Fusion and a playable appearance in Dead by Daylight.
Rocket League's Haunted Hallows event is now live with this year featuring a collaboration with FNaF.
One of the items includes an animated decal called "Five Nights" styled after the End of Night minigames from FNaF 3.
With Purple Guy being one of the characters present.
Your shift starts now.

When the camera stops during Michael's monologue in Sister Location, while it's difficult to make out you can actually see Dark Springtrap's hand sticking out on the far right before he even moves forward.
So I can not express enough how grateful I am to them for being willing to assist me with this, taking time out of their day to wait in line for it and ship it here while ensuring it was as safe as possible.
It means the world to me.
After three years of attempting to get my hands on one only for things to not go according to plans, I'm happy to say that I've finally managed to get an autograph from Matthew Lillard thanks to the help of my friend PuppetGeist and a friend of hers.
However, I especially love his performance as the Yellow Rabbit in the films and Dead by Daylight.
He really captures a lot of the energy and vibe I want from the character, and completely steals the show anytime he appears.
Couldn't have asked for a better casting choice.
In Secret of the Mimic, the Spring Bonnie bobblehead was originally not styled after the Freddy, Bonnie, and Chica ones from FNaF 3.
The early design can be seen in a image shared by the game's lead UI artist, Glenn Lattiere, on their Artstation page.
In FNaF World, you're not able to select any of the Update 2 cast at the start of Fixed Party mode even if you have the Desk Fan trophy nor can you select one after unlocking them during a run.
Meaning under normal circumstances, it's impossible to play as Purpleguy in this mode.
As for other characters from FNaF 3, the Phantom Animatronics are back once again.
However, a new page for a character titled "New Phone Guy" has been added which is presumably Phone Dude as this was also what they referred to him as in The Freddy Files series of books.
Preview images for the Five Nights at Freddy's Character Encyclopedia: Updated and Expanded Edition have been released with two of those pages being the one for William Afton.

As for the line up of characters who are present, Scraptrap from Pizzeria Simulator has now been given his own standalone page.
While "Yellow Rabbit" and "VR Springtrap" are also among the line up, presumably being the ones from the Fazbear Frights series of books.
