Little Nightmares 3 is the next horror puzzle-platform entry. The developer shifts to Supermassive Games, while Bandai Namco continues to publish. You control Low and Alone across The Spiral, a collage of grotesque spaces like the sandy Necropolis, a twisted candy factory, and a dread-soaked Carnival. Expect poetic dread, layered stealth, smart puzzles, and frantic chases. It’s available on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Switch, with a strong focus here on PC and purchase via Steam key from our store.

The headline feature is two-player online co-op. Solo is supported with an AI partner. The experience stays faithful to the series’ tone while adding a social layer that reshapes timing and strategy.

What to expect

✦ Online co-op: bow for Low, wrench for Alone. Abilities interlock for traversal and puzzle chains.
✦ Striking biomes: from Necropolis to the Carnival, each zone is a playable nightmare painting.

✦ Silent, symbolic storytelling: strong environmental narrative with room for theory-crafting.
✦ PC features include Steam Achievements and Cloud. Purchase is via Steam key on our store.

Gameplay deep dive

Little Nightmares 3 cycles through exploration, co-op riddles, and short-burst chase sequences. Abilities matter: ranged triggers with the bow, mechanical interactions with the wrench, diversions, and synchronized switches. Communication is key in co-op; solo relies on a competent AI that mirrors required actions, though it isn’t flawless.

Each Spiral region has distinct rules. The Carnival plays with light, shadow, and rides; the Necropolis uses sand and wind to twist physics and sightlines; the candy factory turns machines into stealth puzzles. The franchise’s cinematic framing remains intact.

Trivia

✦ The series shifts from Tarsier Studios to Supermassive Games, which previously handled next-gen ports.
✦ Release lands on October 9–10, 2025 depending on platform/region, with official comms around a day-one patch.
