Publisher Bandai Namco and developer Supermassive Games recently announced that Little Nightmares III has been delayed from its previously announced 2024 release window to 2025. The publisher says this was “to make sure we give the game the care and love it deserves”. The game will launch for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam. In Little Nightmares III, “you follow the journey of Low and Alone, as they search for a path that could lead them out of the Nowhere.”
The full message regarding the delay:
Hello little once,
Ever since the announcement of Little Nightmares III at Gamescom last year, we’ve been thrilled to see our community buzzing with excitement and anticipation.
The teams at Supermassive Games and Bandai Namco Europe have been working hard towards delivering the best experience possible for the next entry in the franchise.
As much as we can’t wait for you to return to the Nowhere, we also want to make sure we give the game the care and love it deserves. Quality is a top priority for us, and we know you feel the same way.
For this reason, we’ve made the decision to shift the release of the game to 2025.
We’ll be sharing more about Little Nightmares III later this summer, so please bear with us and look forward to further updates.
In the meantime, we’d like to thank you for your patience and ongoing support.
Sleep tight, little ones.
—The Little Nightmares Team
