Little Nightmares III has been delayed, and will not be making it out this year as originally planned. Bandai Namco now intends to publish the title in 2025.
Little Nightmares III was first unveiled at Gamescom last August. It’s a notable shift for the series as the first two titles were made by Tarsier Studios. This one is being handled by Until Dawn developer and The Dark Pictures Anthology Supermassive Games.
As for why Little Nightmares III is being delayed, the team explained that more time will be needed to secure the highest quality possible. You can read the full message below.
Ever since the announcement of Little Nightmares III at Gamescom last year, we’ve been thrilled to see our community buzzing with excitement and anticipation.
The teams at Supermassive Games and Bandai Namco Europe have been working hard towards delivering the best experience possible for the next entry in the franchise.
As much as we can’t wait for you to return to the Nowhere, we also want to make sure we give the game the care and love it deserves. Quality is a top priority for us, and we know you feel the same way.
For this reason, we’ve made the decision to shift the release of the game to 2025.
We’ll be sharing more about Little Nightmares III this summer, so please bear with us and look forward to further updates.
In the meantime, we’d like to thank you for your patience and ongoing support.
