The highly anticipated horror adventure, Little Nightmares III, has officially been confirmed for release on October 10, 2025. Developed by Supermassive Games and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment, this latest installment promises to expand the eerie universe beloved by fans, making its debut on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and the new Nintendo Switch 2.
Little Nightmares III continues the series’ tradition of atmospheric horror and tense puzzle-platforming, but this time introduces new protagonists, immersive environments, and expanded gameplay features. The story centers around two young friends navigating a terrifying world that not only tests their wits, but also their ability to survive in an environment distinctly hostile to children. The Nowhere—a mysterious realm filled with nightmarish entities—returns with new horrors and locations to uncover.
In an exclusive Q&A with Bandai Namco, the development team revealed that the game will feature both single-player and co-op modes, allowing players to experience the story alone or with a friend, preserving the unsettling solitude or inviting cooperation in the face of peril. This commitment to retaining a robust solo experience was also highlighted by fans on social media, with many, such as one Instagram commenter, expressing relief:
"Had to double check it was still playable solo. Really enjoyed the first 2 and this looks to follow the trend."
Supermassive Games has announced enticing incentives for those who pre-order the game. All pre-orders, whether for the standard or the Deluxe Edition, come with immediate access to the Little Nightmares: Enhanced Edition—a remastered version of the original game in 4K resolution at 60 FPS. This remaster will also be available separately for those who do not pre-order.
The Deluxe Edition, priced at £49.99 / $59.99, includes an Expansion Pass featuring two additional chapters and a selection of exclusive costume sets. These bonuses promise not just cosmetic upgrades, but more depth and replayability for series veterans and newcomers alike. The base version of the game retails for £34.99 / $39.99.

One of the game’s standout improvements is its commitment to next-gen visuals and atmospheric design, harnessing the capabilities of platforms like PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. The team has also developed new levels—such as the recently revealed Carnevale—which promise even more surreal and haunting adventures, crafted with the meticulous detail for which the series is renowned.
The announcement has generated considerable discussion among fans and critics. Engaged communities on platforms such as Twitter and Reddit have expressed excitement for both the new content and the return of classic gameplay elements. The confirmation of a Switch 2 version has also broadened anticipation among Nintendo players, as detailed in recent coverage by Gematsu.
For those seeking a preview, the latest trailers and gameplay footage are now available on official publisher accounts and gaming news sites. Fans can share their impressions and engage with the developers through comment sections and social media hashtags.
