Five Nights at Freddy’s World Gets a Release Date
RPG spinoff Five Nights at Freddy’s World is coming to PC on February 19.
The release date comes via the FNaF 4 Steam page, where developer Scott Cawthon posted an update explaining what’s going on.
“First of all, I apologize for the lack of updates on the websites,” says Cawthon.
“My old faithful computer (which I used to make FNaF 1-4) finally died the other day. I had all of my work on FNaF World backed up, of course, but it's still quite a delay to get a new machine and reconfigure software, etc. I hope to be back up and running soon! “
Cawthon notes the Android and iOS versions of FNaF World should be arriving in the weeks that follow the initial PC launch. The downloadable demo of FNaF World, which was originally planned to release Halloween 2015, will be made available through GameJolt.

A New Enemy Emerges in Extraordinary X-Men #5
The latest issue of Extraordinary X-Men threw yet another swerve at readers today.

The previous issue ended with the reveal that Mister Sinister had resurrected Cyclops and turned the first X-Man into a horrific hybrid of mutant and Inhuman. But as the X-Men quickly discovered in this issue, the enemy they faced wasn't the real Cyclops, but merely a clone. Given Sinister's history of genetic tinkering, we probably should have seen that coming.
Titanfall Dev’s Secret Project is a Third-Person Action-Adventure
In addition to a Titanfall sequel, Respawn Entertainment is working on a new third-person action-adventure game, according to a recent job listing.
Posted on Gamasutra (via GameSpot), the job listing for a Senior Level Designer reads: "We are now recruiting designers for two game development projects - a new game in the Titanfall universe as well as a new 3rd person action/adventure IP."
In late 2014, the developer revealed it had split into two teams, with the second, smaller team working on a "non-Titanfall related" project. The project may be headed by God of War 3 game director Stig Asmussen, who joined Respawn in June 2014 to work on something unrelated to Titanfall.

Are These Netflix’s Viewership Numbers?
If NBC Universal's numbers are right, then some of Netflix's top shows don't stack up to NBC favorites like The Voice and Blind Spot. The company announced that it's found a way to track numbers for the popular streaming service.
"The notion that they are replacing broadcast TV may not be quite accurate," said President of Research and Media Development Alan Wurtzel at the TCA (Television Critics Association) press tour today.
His numbers come from Symphony, a San Francisco company that uses viewing preferences by using "audio content recognition technology software loaded on to users' phones that tracks viewership by capturing the soundtrack of a program.
The research showed that from September through December, Marvel's Jessica Jones averaged around 4.8 million viewers, while Narcos brought in 3.2 million viewers. Aziz Ansari's comedy Master of None, Wurtzel said, had 3.9 million viewers.
