Admittedly, I find the Little Nightmares franchise interesting. For a series with no dialogue, it has a surprisingly complex and layered narrative. Now, the upcoming Little Nightmares III (not to be confused with the similar-looking Reanimal) has a release date.

Little Nightmares III will be released on October 10^th, 2025. It will be coming to PC, as well as all PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch variant consoles. Here is what the press release has to say about what we know so far:

“Bandai Namco Entertainment America Inc. today announced LITTLE NIGHTMARES™ III, developed by Supermassive Games[,] will launch on October 10, 2025, for PlayStation®5, PlayStation® 4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One, PC via Steam® and Xbox on PC, and Nintendo Switch™ and Switch™ 2.

Pre-orders started today on all platforms except on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2, which will start at a later date. The franchise has now sold 20 million units since the release of LITTLE NIGHTMARES™ in 2017.

Trapped in the Spiral, a world filled with delusions, Low & Alone are looking for a way out. Through their journey, they enter the Carnevale, a decrepit funfair which is the focus of the new trailer and gameplay deep dive.”

Four major editions of Little Nightmares III can be pre-ordered. The Standard Edition is the game itself with no bells and whistles. The Digital Deluxe Edition includes the “Secrets of The Spiral – Expansion Pass, and the Residents Costumes Pack.”

In addition to the Deluxe Edition content, the Collector “Mirror” Edition offers a figurine, a metal case, a physical artbook, the OST in digital and physical format, and some stickers. Lastly, exclusive to the Bandai Namco store, you can purchase the Premium Collector “Spiral” Edition, which offers the figurine from the previous edition on a music box base, a Nome controller/phone holder, and a double-sided coin of Low and Alone.

According to the press release, “Pre-orders will give access to the Dark Six Costumes Set on all platforms. Pre-ordering a digital copy will also include the early access of LITTLE NIGHTMARES ENHANCED EDITION on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S[,] and PC. The Secrets of The Spiral – Expansion Pass includes two additional chapters to explore, which will be detailed at a later date, as well as an exclusive Costumes Set featuring a character that fans might recognize.

In addition, LITTLE NIGHTMARES ENHANCED EDITION has been announced for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC[,] with a release date also set on October 10, 2025. LITTLE NIGHTMARES ENHANCED EDITION brings Six’s story to a new standard thanks to technical enhancements, such as volumetric lightning and ray tracing, as well as gameplay changes like better checkpoint placement, gameplay helpers, [and] letting more players discover Six’s journey through the Maw. LITTLE NIGHTMARES ENHANCED EDITION will be available right away to those who pre-order a digital copy of Little Nightmares III on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

The final game announcement from the Little Nightmares Showcase is LITTLE NIGHTMARES VR: ALTERED ECHOES, which has been announced to be in development at Iconik Studio.”

The showcase revealed that the Little Nightmares franchise is expanding beyond video games as well. We have the showcase link below if you are interested. Regardless, the fans of the franchise have a lot to look forward to.
