The Little Nightmares franchise has long stood out as a unique and atmospheric entry in the horror genre, and its reputation continues to grow stronger. Rather than relying on cheap jump scares, the series has consistently delivered a chilling sense of dread through its haunting world design and thick atmosphere. Now, fans can officially look forward to a new chapter in just a few months. Bandai Namco and developer Supermassive Games have announced that Little Nightmares III will launch on October 10.
The announcement was accompanied by a brand-new trailer that offers a glimpse into the terrifying and mysterious world players will soon explore. The third installment introduces two new protagonists: Low and Alone, a pair of young companions who awaken in a dark, unfamiliar land known only as Nowhere, naturally a place far from safe for children. As expected, their main objective is survival and finding a way to escape the twisted environment around them.
Little Nightmares for Everyone
Little Nightmares III will offer both single-player and online co-op modes. In solo play, one character will be controlled by AI, but players can also team up with a friend online to navigate the horrors together. Each character features a unique skillset and signature tool: Low carries a bow and arrow, while Alone is armed with a trusty wrench. These tools aren’t just for fending off nightmarish creatures—they also serve crucial roles in puzzle-solving and platforming segments, which remain key gameplay elements in the series.
Atmosphere remains a core strength, and the nearly 2.5-minute trailer reinforces that familiar sense of unease and mystery. With haunting visuals and an ominous tone, the footage is a clear reminder of why this franchise resonates so strongly with horror fans.
Little Nightmares III will release on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC. Whether playing solo or with a friend, fans can expect another unforgettable journey through the disturbing and imaginative world of Little Nightmares this October.
