Bandai Namco made the announcement alongside several exciting bonuses, including early access to Little Nightmares Enhanced Edition for digital pre-orders. But that’s not all, the franchise is expanding with new books, comics, and even a stop-motion project in the works.
For those eager to dive back into the unsettling world of Little Nightmares before the sequel arrives, pre-ordering the digital version grants immediate access to the remastered original game. Meanwhile, Titan Comics is releasing Little Nightmares: Descent to Nowhere, a comic following two prisoners, Hush, a mute girl, and Mono, a mysterious ally, as they navigate a nightmarish dungeon.
Adding to the lore, Scholastic will publish Little Nightmares: The Lonely Ones, a young adult novel by E.C. Myers. The story centers on Ruse, a child trapped in a strange, trembling room with two unsettling companions, one wearing a frayed noose, the other a tattered mask.
Bandai Namco also teased a stop-motion collaboration with Taller del Chucho, though details remain scarce for now. As for the game itself, Little Nightmares 3 marks Supermassive Games’ first entry in the series, launching on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and last-gen consoles, including Nintendo Switch.
Pre-order options range from the Standard Edition to the lavish Premium Collector Spiral Edition, which includes a figurine with a music box base, an artbook, and even a Nome-themed controller stand. Every pre-order unlocks the Dark Six Costumes Set and early access to the Enhanced Edition.
The expansion pass, Secrets of The Spiral, promises at least two additional chapters, deepening the game’s haunting narrative. And for VR enthusiasts, Little Nightmares VR: Altered Echoes is on the horizon, developed by Iconik Studios.
Little Nightmares 2 earned praise for its grim beauty and tense gameplay, though some felt its brevity and AI companion mechanics left untapped potential. With the third installment and its multimedia expansions, the franchise seems poised to deliver even more chilling adventures.
For horror fans, October can’t come soon enough. Between the game, comics, novels, and mysterious stop-motion project, the Little Nightmares universe is growing darker, and more captivating, than ever.
