Little Nightmares 1 and 2 were both very successful. The first game sold over 2 million copies, and the second game is well on its way to reaching that milestone (it sold over a million in just the first month of release). It should therefore be no surprise to anyone that Bandai Namco is developing a 3rd game.

Here is everything we know about Little Nightmares 3. We have proof the game is in development already, but we will continue to update this article as more information becomes available.

  • Recommendation: f you like Little Nightmares, you're pretty much guaranteed to love Tim Burton movies (our favorite ).

Little Nightmares 3: Development Confirmed

As of May 8, 2023, we can now confirm that Little Nightmares 3 is in development. This is thanks to a job ad from Bandai Namco that accidentally confirms they are working on this highly anticipated sequel.

The job ad is for an internship at Bandai Namco's Lyon offices, and in the job description they reveal:

You will join the Production department within the team dedicated to our headline IP : Little Nightmares.

They don't give us specific details about the game, but this does at least confirm that a team at Bandai Namco are working on Little Nightmares 3.

If you would like to apply for this position, here is a link to the job ad.

You'll need to be patient for Little Nightmares 3, but until then, you surely won't be missing out on this gem:

Little Nightmares 3: Release Window

We don't have an officially confirmed release date for Little Nightmares 3, but given the last two games have taken 3/4 years to be developed, and that Little Nightmares 2 was released in 2021, we expect a 2025 release window for Little Nightmares 3.

At the moment all we can give you is an estimate, but we're keeping one ear to the ground.

Are you hyped for the new Little Nightmares? And what features would you most like to see added to the game?
