Little Nightmares III

Little Nightmares III is an upcoming puzzle-platform horror adventure video game developed by Supermassive Games and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S. It serves as a stand-alone sequel to the first two Little Nightmares games. The game follows two new child protagonists, Low and Alone, as they navigate through The Nowhere and escape from a looming threat. It is scheduled for a 2025 release.

Gameplay

Like its games beforehand, Little Nightmares III takes place in a 2.5D world. The player must explore the world, occasionally encountering platformer-like situations or being blocked by puzzles that must be solved to proceed. Unlike the first two games, the player can now go solo alongside an AI companion or with another player in online co-op. The two main characters have different gameplay mechanics, with Low wielding his bow and arrow, and Alone using her wrench.

Development

In 2021, Tarsier Studios confirmed that Little Nightmares II would be its last entry as they were acquired by Embracer Group in December 2019; but since the Little Nightmares intellectual rights belong to Bandai Namco, the publisher intends to continue the series without Tarsier.

In August 2023, Little Nightmares III was unveiled at Gamescom's Opening Night Live with an initial release window of 2024. Unlike its predecessors, the game is solely developed by Supermassive Games instead of the franchise's original developer. Supermassive had prior experience on the Little Nightmares franchise for developing the enhanced PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S ports of the previous game. However, in May 2024, the developer delayed its release to 2025.

A tie-in podcast series, titled "The Sounds of Nightmares", was also announced and released its first two episodes on Bandai Namco Europe's YouTube channel on August 22.
