Little Nightmares 3 - all that we know

 


Little Nightmares 3 is set to arrive next year, following a delay. As such, there's still a lot to learn about the upcoming indie adventure and how it plans to build on the foundations the previous two games have set in stone. 

It's been a while since we saw anything substantial from the developers of Little Nightmares 3, though we do know that it'll be a more co-op focused experience. There's been a few teasers shown so far, but we're still very much in the dark regarding a full release date. We have played the game now though, read our thoughts as part of our Little Nightmares 3 preview.

With the original Little Nightmares landing on our list of the best horror games, alongside our best indie horror games, the third installment of the series has a lot of expectations to meet. That said, we still have a fair bit to learn about the game before it launches. But if you were a fan of the first two games, it’s an upcoming game worth keeping an eye on. Here’s everything we know about Little Nightmares 3 so far.  

  • What is it? The third installment of the Little Nightmares series  
  •  When can I play it? 2025
  •  What can I play it on? PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One 
  •  Who makes it? Supermassive Games

Even though we only have a very loose release timeframe of 2025 for the game, we do know which platforms the game will be available on, and surprisingly, it won’t be limited to current-gen consoles. You’ll be able to play Little Nightmares 3 on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, PS4, and Xbox One, so there’s a huge variety of platforms to choose from once you’re ready to sink into the horror

Little Nightmares 3 trailers

The most recent trailer for Little Nightmares 3 debuted during Gamescom Opening Night Live. It focuses on the co-op gameplay that'll be the focus of the game. Check it out below:

The reveal trailer for Little Nightmares 3 was shown as part of Gamescom Opening Night Live in August 2023, and offers a fairly generous look at the new setting of the title, alongside the two new protagonists. Unusually, we aren’t revisiting Mono and Six of the original Little Nightmares and its sequel, but that does mean there is an entirely new blank slate to build upon for this game. 

In the trailer, we meet the two new protagonists alongside a number of new enemies, as well as a glimpse at several new environments to navigate. We also got a first look at the new array of enemies, including a monstrous baby and several large, human-like creatures.

The end of the trailer presents a release window of 2024, alongside listing the platforms the game will be available on. The full trailer can be seen below:

With only one trailer under our belts, and not a lot of other information out in the wild, there’s still a lot we don’t know about Little Nightmares 3. However, that one trailer does hint at a surprising amount of information we can dissect from that short reveal trailer. Little Nightmares is a pretty lore-heavy game, so we do expect more information to come to light as we learn more about the release date of the game, but for now, we’ve got a decent chunk to sink our teeth into when it comes to the story and setting of the game

The story follows two new protagonists called Low and Alone, both of whom have different abilities that will aid your experience with the game. Although we don’t know the backstory of these characters, we expect more to unravel as we crawl closer to the game’s release window. Both characters are armed with a weapon unique to them, and you’ll be able to select which character you wish to play which is a franchise first.
