Little Nightmares 3 release has been delayed into 2025. The game was originally planned for a 2024 launch, but it seems fans of Little Nightmares 3 will now have to wait a little bit longer.

Fans of the unique horror series have been excited about returning to the world of Nowhere in Little Nightmares since the announcement of Little Nightmares 3 at Gamescom last year. The reveal trailer offered insights into what to expect from the upcoming co-op horror experience, as well as offering 2024 as a release date for the title. Much to the dismay of fans, this release date has been pushed back.

The official Twitter account for Little Nightmares 3 released a statement earlier today sharing that the game will be delayed into 2025, expressing that while Supermassive Games and Bandai Namco Europe are excited to deliver the title, they want to ensure the game is of an acceptable quality before doing so. They know that the game is part of an important franchise to a lot of people, and want to make sure they get Little Nightmares 3 right before releasing it to the public.

Little Nightmares 3 Has Been Delayed Into 2025

The Little Nightmares games were originally developed by Tarsier Studios, but after the launch of Little Nightmares 2, Tarsier Studios confirmed that it would no longer be working on the Little Nightmares series. Since then, Supermassive Games has taken over as the sole developer, leaving many curious about the future of the franchise.

It can be said that it's better to delay a game to deliver a better product, and this is a mantra that most seem to agree with, as fans offer their support to the developers for their decision to ensure it can deliver the best version of Little Nightmares 3 that it can. The statement is closed off with a confirmation that more information regarding Little Nightmares 3 will be revealed later in the summer, ensuring that fans of the series are not going to be left completely in the dark about the future of the game. Supermassive Games is no newbie when it comes to horror games, and its success with cinematic horror titles such as The Quarry, Until Dawn, and The Dark Pictures Anthology bodes well for Little Nightmares.
