Little Nightmares 3 Demo Now Available: Experience Bandai Namco’s Haunting Adventure on Nintendo Switch

Bandai Namco has officially released a demo for Little Nightmares 3, allowing Nintendo Switch players to embark on a suspenseful journey through the chilling world of Nowhere ahead of the game’s full release on October 10, 2025.

The new demo, now rolling out across regions, gives fans the opportunity to experience first-hand the haunting environments and inventive gameplay that continue to define the Little Nightmares series. Little Nightmares 3 is the latest installment in Bandai Namco's critically acclaimed franchise, renowned for its unsettling atmospheres, creative puzzles, and emotional storytelling.

Players are cast as Low and Alone, two young friends trapped in a nightmarish world that is as dangerous as it is mysterious.

Each character wields a unique item—Low’s bow and Alone’s wrench—which are vital for overcoming the environment’s many hazards.

The demo highlights how these iconic tools must be used together to solve puzzles, traverse challenging terrains, and avoid the perils lurking around every corner. Bandai Namco describes the adventure as an intense collaborative experience, whether players choose to explore with a friend via online co-op or rely on the game's intelligent AI companion system.

As Low and Alone journey through locations like the sand-filled ruins of the Necropolis or the eerie corridors of a derelict candy factory, players will encounter monstrous Residents—from the menacing Monster Baby to swarms of ravenous Candy Weevils—each providing unique obstacles and terrifying encounters.

Environmental clues offer countless opportunities for imaginative problem-solving, and quick thinking is often required to run, hide, or defend against persistent threats. The creative director at Bandai Namco shared that Little Nightmares 3 continues the series' tradition of blending environmental storytelling with atmospheric horror, saying the team is committed to delivering a "deeply immersive and memorable experience for fans new and old." The Little Nightmares 3 demo is available via the Nintendo eShop, giving Nintendo Switch and soon Nintendo Switch 2 players a first taste of the unsettling beauty and danger found within Nowhere.

With the full release scheduled for October 10, 2025, the game is set to further cement Bandai Namco’s legacy for delivering dark, compelling narratives in the horror platformer genre.
