One of the few characters seen in the trailers for Five Nights At Freddy’s: Security Breach so far is a child, Gregory. Developer Steel Wool Studios hasn’t said much about him, despite his figuring prominently in the most recent trailer for the game, which was shown during Sony’s State of Play event in February. With a closer look, there are a few things about Gregory’s role that can perhaps be discerned from clues.
Steel Wool is planning a larger scope for Security Breach than past FNAF titles, setting the game in a brightly-lit, neon-colored entertainment complex called the Mega Pizza Plex. Venturing away from the security cameras will be mandatory, taking players through scenery like ball pits, play areas, and shadowy employee-only corridors. There will even be other humans, although probably not enough to fight off the malicious androids stalking the halls.
Gregory appears in the Sony trailer just briefly as a boy in shorts and a t-shirt with a bandage on his cheek. He does, however, have a smartwatch on his wrist, which apparently connects him to the Pizza Plex’s security systems. It’s unclear if he starts the game with this technology, but it is presumably the thing that frees him from the single office previous games were set in. Freezing at 1:32, we can see Cameras, Map, Inventory, and Logs menus in the interface – along with status information on things like flashlight power.
Where Does Gregory Fit Into FNAF: Security Breach’s Plot?

In fact this points to something that becomes fairly obvious throughout the trailer: Gregory is the player’s character. He’s trapped in the Pizza Plex for reasons unknown and is being helped by an anonymous security guard. So far, she seems to be the only other helpful human. We do see Vanessa’s bunny suit, but she was taken over by Glitchtrap, the nemesis from the VR entry FNAF: Help Wanted. Gregory and the guard are being forced to meet some unspecified demand or die, so the plan is presumably to escape the Pizza Plex by the morning.
Fans should be able to learn more about Gregory and the rest of Five Nights At Freddy’s: Security Breach in the coming months, since Security Breach is due to ship sometime in 2021 for PS4, PS5, and PC. There is a chance it could be delayed, but there’s no sign of that yet.
