Fans are going to have to wait a bit longer before they get to play Little Nightmares III. Bandai Namco and Supermassive Games have announced that the third installment in the series is going to be delayed. Originally slated for release this year, the game will now be coming out in 2025. Here’s the announcement made via X:
Please do bear with us, little ones, for we need a little extra time to prepare your visit.

They also issued the following statement:
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 that 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
It’s unfortunate news, but as the old adage goes, a delayed game can end up being good, but a bad game will always be bad. Or something like that. Anyway! Let us know what you think of this development down in the comments.
