Bandai Namco Entertainment has officially revealed the latest trailer for Little Nightmares 3, announcing its upcoming release on both Nintendo Switch and the next-generation Nintendo Switch 2.

Continuing the critically acclaimed horror puzzle-platformer franchise, Little Nightmares 3 builds upon the haunting atmosphere and inventive gameplay that has made the series a standout, now introducing new features set to engage returning fans and newcomers alike. Developed by Supermassive Games, renowned for their expertise in narrative-driven horror experiences, Little Nightmares 3 represents the studio's first entry in the beloved series as the lead developer.

Notably, this installment allows players to journey through its unsettling world either solo or with a friend via seamless online co-op.

For the first time, players are given the option to confront the game's surreal terrors together, adding a fresh cooperative layer to the traditional single-player adventure. Set in the enigmatic realm known as 'Nowhere,' Little Nightmares 3 introduces two new protagonists: Low and Alone.

Players can choose between these distinct characters, each equipped with a signature item crucial for navigating the perilous environments.

Low wields a bow and arrow, while Alone carries a trusty wrench—a dynamic that encourages inventive puzzle-solving and teamwork, especially when facing formidable adversaries such as the Monster Baby in the Necropolis. The game's narrative will see players traverse 'the Spiral,' a vast and mysterious world teeming with hidden dangers and nightmarish foes.

As they progress, players must strategically use their chosen character’s tool to overcome environmental puzzles and evade looming threats, all while uncovering the secrets of their escape. Little Nightmares 3 is set to launch globally on 10 October 2025.

It will be available both physically at retail and digitally through the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 platform.

This release is expected to expand the series’ reach to a broader audience, leveraging the enhanced capabilities of Nintendo's next-generation hardware while maintaining full support for existing Switch owners. With its release date, new trailer, and innovative cooperative gameplay, Little Nightmares 3 is primed to continue the series’ tradition of unsettling brilliance.

As anticipation builds, both Bandai Namco Entertainment and Supermassive Games reaffirm their commitment to delivering an immersive and chilling experience for players on Nintendo's popular consoles.
