Little Nightmares 3: Everything we know
Bandai NamcoLittle Nightmares 3 was announced at Gamescom 2023; here’s everything we know, so far, including its release window.
Developer Tarsier Studios unleashed Little Nightmares in 2017, offering a puzzle-platform horror game wherein a young girl, Six, must traverse an underwater locale known as The Maw. Due to the nature of the experience, puzzle-solving and stealth constituted her only tools.
Little Nightmares 2, developed with help from Until Dawn’s Supermassive Games, mixed things up by introducing a little boy, Mono, as an all-new playable hero. The sequel added a host of previously unseen threats, too. But it’s clear the world of Little Nightmares still has a few more terrors to explore.
The Geoff Keighley-hosted Opening Night Live event in 2023 showcased the next horror-filled puzzle adventure. Here is everything Bandai Namco has shared, thus far.
