Little Nightmares III, the exciting upcoming sequel that’s been picked up by Until Dawn and The Dark Pictures developer, Supermassive Games, has been delayed to an unspecified date in 2025.
The studio says that it’s made the decision to shift the game’s release window into the new year to ensure it gets the care, love and final quality that it deserves, and it’ll have more to share about the game in the coming weeks.
Please do bear with us, little ones, for we need a little extra time to prepare your visit.

The delay announcement reads:
“Hello Little Ones,
“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 later 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.
“Sleep tight, Little Ones.
“The Little Nightmares Team.”
After an exclusive hands-off preview of the game last year I came away incredibly keen for more, writing, “After seeing just this one, controlled section of gameplay from Little Nightmares III I’m champing at the bit for more. It looks like Supermassive is fully dialled into the spirit of the franchise while also taking to it with fresh eyes and exploring new opportunities for gameplay and storytelling.”
