After more than a year of radio silence, Little Nightmares 3 is creeping back into the spotlight. Bandai Namco has officially announced a Little Nightmares Showcase, scheduled to premiere on June 24, 2025, at 12 PM PST / 3 PM EST. This showcase is expected to provide long-awaited updates on the third installment of the beloved horror puzzle-platformer series.
A Long Time Coming
Little Nightmares 3 was first revealed during Gamescom Opening Night Live in August 2023, over two years after Little Nightmares 2 launched in 2021. Initially set for release in 2024, the game was later delayed to 2025, and since then, there’s been little to no official communication—until now.
The showcase announcement came via a short teaser video posted to the official Little Nightmares Twitter/X account, showing a flickering carnival-style sign displaying the event’s date and time. It perfectly matches the franchise’s eerie and atmospheric tone.
New Developer, Familiar Horrors
Little Nightmares 3 marks a major shift in the franchise’s development history. While the first two games were developed by Tarsier Studios, the studio parted ways with the IP after being acquired by Embracer Group in 2019. As a result, Bandai Namco handed development duties for LN3 over to Supermassive Games, the team behind cinematic horror hits like Until Dawn and The Dark Pictures Anthology.
While some fans were initially skeptical, many now believe Supermassive’s expertise in horror storytelling makes them a strong fit for the Little Nightmares series.
What to Expect on June 24
While exact details remain under wraps, fans can likely expect:
-
A new gameplay trailer or extended look
-
A possible release date announcement
-
Insight into the game’s setting and story
-
Platform confirmations (PC, consoles, etc.)
-
Possibly some developer commentary from Supermassive Games
Though the announcement didn’t specify streaming platforms, it’s safe to assume the event will be available on YouTube, Twitch, and potentially other Bandai Namco channels.
June 24 is shaping up to be a massive day for fans of Little Nightmares. With over a year of silence now broken, the upcoming showcase could finally shine light on the dark and twisted world of Little Nightmares 3. Whether you’re a long-time fan or a horror newcomer, this is one event you won’t want to miss.
Mark your calendars, and prepare to descend into the nightmare once more.
