Supermassive Games and Bandai Namco have shared a new 18-minute gameplay walkthrough for Little Nightmares 3, providing the first in-depth look at the game’s new co-op systems.
Little Nightmares 3 is the first game in the franchise developed by Supermassive Games, the studio best known for Until Dawn and The Dark Pictures Anthology. It’s a studio that clearly knows how to develop horror games.
Here’s an overview of Little Nightmares 3 via Bandai Namco:
“LITTLE NIGHTMARES™ III follows the journey of Low and Alone, two friends looking for a way to escape The Nowhere – a whimsical and nightmarish world. As the two make their way through the Spiral, a cluster of disturbing and dangerous places, they encounter signature elements that have made LITTLE NIGHTMARES™ games unique, from clever puzzles and dangerous threats to memorable creatures such as Monster Baby”
This third entry is also the first game to feature co-op, giving you the chance to bring a friend along for all the scares.
The gameplay video released is pre-alpha footage that gives a bit of insight into how co-op will work within the Little Nightmares framework. The two characters wander through a desolate sandy area called The Necropolis, with the two players working together to solve puzzles and avoid enemies.

Of course, it’s also important to note that Little Nightmares 3 can be played entirely in single-player. At the same time, the game only features online co-op and won’t feature any kind of couch or local co-op.
Bandai Namco also recently released a six-part original podcast called The Sound of Nightmares, featuring a new story from the Little Nightmares universe. You can listen to all episodes for free on the official website.
Little Nightmares 3 is planned for release in 2024 for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
