Universal making Five Nights at Freddy's AAA game

[Magic-Man]

From a new update on Scott Cawthon's Upcoming Projects page on Steam:

"AAA Game: (0%)

A deal has been signed with Universal to create a AAA multiplayer game. They've had a few setbacks getting started, but hopefully they will get it worked out soon. There were some really cool ideas for it. ETA: 2021"

That was my exact reaction. I guess it makes sense because Blumhouse is making the FNAF movie, but since when does Universal make games?!

So uh, Universal's probably going to be the official distribution for the FNAF film, considering the very close nature of those two projects.

All the Turok games are made by Universal Gaming.

To also point out, Lionsgate Games was the distribution group for the sake of Help Wanted.

Admittedly, it makes me curious to see how Universal would develop the game, and who they'd bring on for the sake of it; as it makes me almost think it could be a 4v1 style game in a horror style similar to that of the games. And considering the VR team with Help Wanted is seemingly doing another VR FNAF title, I doubt it'd be them.
