The sandman has passed, you fall asleep... Only to wake up to an agonizing nightmare. Bandai Namco's hit saga Little Nightmares, is back with an unreleased third opus, pushed back to 2025, as Bandai announced in a tweet.
The game is due for release on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC. A new trailer was unveiled on August 20, 2024, at Gamescom.
" Embark on a new adventure in the unique world of Little Nightmares. In Little Nightmares III, you join Low and Alone on their journey to the exit of the Void. Lost in the heart of the Spiral and its most disturbing places, the two friends must work together to survive in a perilous world of illusions and escape the terrible threat lurking in the shadows. For the first time, face your childhood fears together in online co-op mode, or face them solo with an AI companion."
Two new characters make their appearance in this nightmarish world. And with Low and Alone, multiplayer mode arrives for the first time in the Little Nightmares saga.
The trailers suggest that the graphics are as beautiful as ever, the atmosphere is captivating and the world intriguing, and we can't wait to explore it... If only we can survive the many threats that await us. This third opus features a multiplayer mode, or an AI for those who prefer single-player. We do hope, however, that this artificial intelligence will be truly intelligent, and that it will not become yet another enemy in the game.
Like its big brothers,Little Nightmares III is a puzzle platformer in which you have to make the most of each character's strengths and abilities.
Our preview of Little Nightmares III:
A game we were able to test in part at Paris Games Week. And graphically, it's still a hit, with a meticulous, accomplished and striking AD, still in this gloomy, anguished universe. It's beautiful and we love it! The graphics are in the same vein as the previous opuses, and should therefore appeal to gamers who are regulars on the saga.
In terms of gameplay, the best jams are made from the same old pots and pans, as the game picks up on the good ideas of its predecessors, offering accessible gameplay while renewing its mechanics thanks to the second player, inviting you to rethink the way you play, whether with a friend or the AI. A good idea for renewing the game without losing regular players.
From what little we've been able to see, Little Nightmares III seems to live up to all its promises, with varied gameplay and graphics as beautiful as ever. We'll have to wait for its release to find out for sure, but we're in no doubt about it. It's already on our wishlist!
In the meantime, Bandai Namco is offering us the chance to immerse ourselves a little further in this videogame universe, with a brand-new podcast: The Noise of Nightmares. An original story in six episodes, recounting the disturbing dreams of young Modie...
