So what now? Is the franchise just in stasis until the third movie? Are there no other games in the pipeline? Ruin 2? Five Laps at Freddy's? Not even one of those Freddy in Space-style joke games?
Joke or "FNAF" style indie titles are dead unfortunately. It's a saturated market and the illusion of "being the next big mascot horror hit!" isn't motivating people, the money isn't there. Best chance we had for that was the Scott games creator collective thing that died because everyone involved was a huge fag and one particular xister ruined it.

There's a mainline game in the works though. Last I heard about it was almost a year ago. It's being developed by steel wool under the project name Abyss and that's about all I know. I expect an announcement some time this spring.

You can stop reading here, this is just my ¢2. The movies, books and games are all separate pipelines. Scott consults on all 3 but mainly spends his time writing the books, where his time and passion go, and he cranks them out faster than the original FNAF series. The slow down in game development speed is tied to steel wool, and the failure of the creator collective.
 
The Grapevine is saying Five Laps at Freddy's was cancelled.

Not surprising honestly, given the team behind it. Clickteam Fusion is quite possibly the worst 2D game engine I have ever encountered, even worse than some of the Open Source garbage engines that get brought up sometimes. Scott choosing their engine for some unknowable reason was effectively them winning the lottery. It makes sense that the Clickteam organization wasn't even able to bring a C-tier shovelware game to a releaseable state.

Let alone a 3D game in an engine they don't even own.
 
I miss the days when we could barely go a week without a new teaser or some news or some shit. Checking the game's site for a new teaser pic was fun as hell.
I do feel a tad sad that Scott retired, I would love him making another FNAF game solely again cause I think a new entry going back to its roots be good right now. To me right now FNAF IP feels stagnant and there hasn't really been a game to me that wowed me since the series jumped into 3d and 3rd party with security breach.

I also wouldn't mind either if Scott decided to work on something entirely new not FNAF related. But it have to be something he made and now just supervised.

IMO it's not so much "stagnant" as it is people taking something that was good and completely fucking it up. IDK what it is about the series that people have to shove their fanfic into it, but things like "Security Breach" suffered because of it. We didn't need the old animatronics to come back from the dead, Scott had already closed that chapter with PizzaSimulator/CustomNight. We didn't need a "original character donut steel" version of golden bonnie who's also female.
 
FNAF IP feels whored out
FTFY

SoTM was a pretty good example of how a fully 3d FNAF game should be. The problem with it was it's subject and setting, not the execution. The game could have easily been its own IP/setting if you just left the FNAF stuff out, which takes away from it, but Scott really likes his books/expanded universe and seems absolutely determined to force its cannon into that of the games. Into the pit and SoTM were both greenlit and worked on by Scott so he's not blameless in this weird shift.

I hope that we will one day get a decent new FNAF that's true to form and setting. But I'm not going to hold my breath.
