Bandai Namco have today announced the latest addition to the Little Nightmares franchise. Yep, Little Nightmares III is coming in 2024 – and it’ll be bringing cooperative online play with it.
Developed by Supermassive Games, Little Nightmares III will be released in 2024 on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.
Two New Characters in Little Nightmares III
For the first time in the franchise, players can face their childhood fears with a friend. The game will be playable in online co-op, letting players take on the role of one of the two new characters, Low or Alone, in this dreadful world. Little Nightmares III will also be fully playable in single player with AI controlling the second character.
In Little Nightmares III, players will follow the journey of Low and Alone, two friends looking for a way to get out of the Nowhere. They will travel through the Spiral, a world filled with dangerous threats such as Monster Baby in the Necropolis. Each character carries its own iconic item – a bow and arrow for Low, a wrench for Alone – that they will use to solve puzzles and help them in their quest to escape.
The Little Nightmares Podcast
And the Little Nightmares universe continues to expand. Bandai Namco also confirmed The Sounds of Nightmares, a new podcast series composed of six episodes. The podcast follows the story of Noone, a young girl who is committed to the Counties Psychiatric Institute to deal with her ever-worsening nightmares. She is under the care of Otto, the Counsellor, a man who has dedicated his life to helping kids. As their sessions unfold, Otto’s past and Noone’s nightmares seem destined to collide. Listen to the first two episodes.
We’ll keep you looped with how Little Nightmares III progresses. Seems a decent time to go back and play through the first Little Nightmares, eh? And maybe that of Little Nightmares II, too?
