Bandai Namco celebrates 20 million sales and reveals a packed future for the franchise
During the latest Little Nightmares Showcase, Bandai Namco confirmed that Little Nightmares III will release on October 10, 2025. The announcement came alongside a host of franchise news, including the reveal of Little Nightmares Enhanced Edition, a new VR project, and the impressive milestone of 20 million units sold across the series.
Low and Alone Enter the Spiral
Developed by Supermassive Games, Little Nightmares III introduces two new protagonists, Low and Alone, as they attempt to escape a nightmarish realm known as the Spiral. One of the first areas revealed is Carnevale, a decaying funfair that serves as a key location in the game. The Spiral promises to be a surreal and unsettling space filled with danger, puzzles, and twisted charm.
Players can explore this world either solo or in online co-op. A new trailer and gameplay deep dive give an extended look at the eerie environments and tense platforming.
The game is coming to PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC via Steam, and both current and next-generation Nintendo Switch systems.
