Internet star and gaming sensation, PewDiePie (Felix Kjellberg), and fellow YouTube gamer, CinnamonToastKen, discovered a theory that could predict the presently unannounced release date of the newest addition to the popular horror game series, "Five Nights At Freddy's 3."

PewDiePie's latest video is a parody of the Top 5 hidden secrets of "Five Nights At Freddy's," and includes a break down of why February 5, 2015 might be the official release date for "Five Nights At Freddy's 3."

"The first fact might actually be true," PewDie states at the end of the video. "[CinnamonToastKen and I] discovered it by accident, and I think it'd be hilarious if it turned out to be correct."

Cinnamon Toast Ken also posted a video cohesively breaking down his hypothesis based on facts surrounding the release of the first two games.

Ken explores how the games are riddled with easter eggs and game secrets, and speculates the game creator, Scott Cawthon, could have included clues for the release of the next game.

"Everything revolves around 'The Bite of '87'," Ken says. "We first hear about the bite from the phone guy, played by Scott, on the first night of the first game." The clip mentions a mysterious incident called "the bite of '87," and Ken mentions that if you enter "1987" on the 7th night, Golden Freddy will appear to crash your game.

"Five Night's At Freddy's 2" is the prequel to the original game, and takes place in 1987 at the same time that the bite happens, and "Freddy Fasbear's Pizza" is closed.

Ken speculates that Jeremy Fitzgerald, the main protagonist, is the bite victim. These factors point to the important of "87."

The first game was released on Steam on August 18, 2014, and the second on November 10, 2014.

"If you count the days between games, you'll notice the second game was released 84 days after the first," Ken says.

If you count 87 days from August 18, you land on November 13, the day Jeremy Fitzgerald receives his last pay check in 1987, and the store closes.

In addition, if you consider the release date in your count, you land on November 12, when Fitzgerald receives your first pay check in 1987.

Ken has many speculations about why Scott didn't release on November 12, including release contracts with STEAM, or planned wow-factor for the player's game-play to coincide with November 12 and 13.

Ken continues his theory, stating how the first game was released on a different game site on July 24, 2014, and then later released on STEAM. If you subtract 1987 from 2014, you get 27, and there are 26 days between the two release dates of the first game. On Scott's STEAM profile, the game is listed as being released on August 19, which is exactly 27 days.
