Little Nightmares 3 and the Enhanced Edition of the original game are set to launch on October 10, as announced by Bandai Namco and Supermassive Games. Pre-orders for Little Nightmares 3 are currently available in four different editions, all of which include early access to the newly revealed Enhanced Edition of the first game. This October 23 marks the second anniversary of Little Nightmares 3’s announcement, which was made during Gamescom’s Opening Night Live. Unlike previous installments developed by Tarsier Studios, which was acquired by Embracer Group in December 2019, this new entry is being developed by Supermassive Games, known for their work on Until Dawn.
It’s important to note that Tarsier never owned the Little Nightmares intellectual property, which remains under Bandai Namco. During the June 24 Little Nightmares Showcase, the firm release date of October 10 was confirmed for the third installment. It will be available on the latest generations of PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo consoles, as well as PC. The game is offered in four editions, ranging from the standard version at $39.99 to the Premium Collector Spiral Edition at $119.99.
The editions include:
– **Standard Edition ($39.99)**: Base game plus Dark Six Costumes Set (pre-order bonus). – **Digital Deluxe Edition ($59.99)**: Includes the Secrets of The Spiral Expansion Pass and Residents Costumes Pack. – **Collector Mirror Edition ($89.99)**: Adds figurine, metal case, physical artbook, digital and physical OST, and stickers. – **Premium Collector Spiral Edition ($119.99)**: Exclusive to Bandai Namco Store, includes the Collector “Mirror Edition” figurine with music box base, Nome controller/phone holder, and a double-sided coin.
The Enhanced Edition, which promises technical improvements such as ray tracing and volumetric lighting, is already accessible on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC for those who pre-order Little Nightmares 3. It will also launch on the upcoming Switch 2. October 2025 will be a notable month for horror fans, with other anticipated releases like Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2, The Kharzov Effect, and more launching around the same time, creating an exciting lineup for enthusiasts of the genre.
