Right after the Reanimal announcement, I found myself wondering about Little Nightmares 3. Well, Bandai Namco delivered more than just a reveal. Announced at Gamescom 2024, Little Nightmares 3 teases a journey in an entirely new direction.
After the events of Little Nightmares 2, the original creators, Tarsier Studios, have stepped away from the franchise to focus on their new project, Reanimal. This shift brings Little Nightmares into new hands with Supermassive Games taking over development. The trailer certainly doesn’t disappoint, offering a glimpse of co-op gameplay set in a fresh, eerie world of nightmares.
In the gameplay, we are introduced to Low and Alone, two best friends embarking on a haunting journey together. The showcase reveals a distinctive co-op feature, with Little Nightmares 3 offering an online two-player co-op experience. For those playing solo, your friend will be controlled by AI, ensuring the eerie adventure continues seamlessly.
Both Low and Alone have their own iconic items – Low with a bow and Alone with a wrench. While the game introduces a new gameplay style, it maintains the familiar atmosphere and essence of Little Nightmares. Wayne Garland, the game director at Supermassive Games, notes,
“The relationship between the two characters is very strong, and we were keen to explore that bond in the game. It is even more relevant when we see them working together to escape the many threats that make up the Nowhere”
This emphasizes the crucial role of the characters’ bond in the new game. Little Nightmares 3 is set to release in 2025 on PC, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PS5, and PS4.
