During Gamescom Opening Night Live 2023, we got a reveal trailer for Little Nightmares 3, the newest installment in Bandai Namco’s horror platforming series. It’s being developed by Supermassive Games and is set for release next year.

The reveal trailer for Little Nightmare 3 was an early surprise at Gamescom Opening Night Live 2023. It showcased the new playable characters as well as the various creepy locations that they’ll cross during their journey. The developers confirmed that the game will feature co-op, and that the levels have been designed with co-op play in mind.

Interestingly enough, the Little Nightmares 3 comes under new management. Series creator Tariser Studios, which worked on the first two games, previously announced that it was done with the series after the second game, but it was likely that publisher Bandai Namco would want to keep it going. This has proven to be true, as the reins are being passed to Supermassive Games, the studio known for The Quarry and The Dark Pictures Anthology, and also aided in the development of Little Nightmares 2: Enhanced Edition.

Little Nightmares 3 is currently set for a 2024 launch. For more news out of Gamescom Opening Night Live, Shacknews has all the news you need.
