Sure, let’s dive in. So, get this: Little Nightmares 3 and a spruced-up version of Little Nightmares—the Enhanced Edition—are rolling out on October 10. This was spilt by Bandai Namco and Supermassive Games. Frankly, they’re not wasting time, already kicking off pre-orders in four types (who knew so many versions were needed?). And just to tempt everyone, pre-buying any of these gives you early access to the first game’s souped-up edition. Sneaky, right?
Oh, and rewind a bit—August 23 is kind of a big date, too. It’s the two-year anniversary of the Little Nightmares 3 big reveal, which was during Gamescom’s Opening Night Live. Here’s a twist: it’s the first one not birthed by Tarsier Studios. They got scooped up by Embracer Group back in ’19, and even though they crafted the original spook-fests, the IP? Yeah, still under Bandai Namco’s thumb. So now, Supermassive Games—the folks behind Until Dawn—have taken the reins. How’s that gonna pan out? Beats me.
During the June 24 shindig about Little Nightmares, they finally slapped an October 10 release date on the third installment. The plan? It’ll drop like a fang on pretty much everything: the latest PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo consoles, plus PC. Pre-orders are live everywhere. You’ve got choices: from a basic $39.99 to a boomin’ $119.99 Premium Collector Spiral Edition. Fancy.
Alright, let’s break down these editions:
– The plain Jane Standard Edition at $39.99—just the game plus some Dark Six duds if you pre-order.
– Digital Deluxe at $59.99? It comes with the Secrets of The Spiral—Expansion Pass and some fancy dress-up packs for your characters.
– Feeling boujee? There’s the Collector Mirror Edition for $89.99—it adds a figurine, a metal case, an artbook (yes, physical!), and the OST both digital and vinyl—as well as stickers (for reasons unknown).
– Finally, the Premium Collector Spiral Edition. Price tag: $119.99. Snag it from Bandai Namco’s store. It ups the ante of the Collector Mirror version with a special music box base, some Nome controller/phone holder thingy, and a dandy double-sided coin. Of Low and Alone, apparently.
Oh, wait—there’s more. That Enhanced Edition I mentioned? It slipped out before, now officially unveiled at the June 24 showcase. It’s got an October launch date too, keeps it consistent. But here’s the kicker, pre-ordering gives you early dibs on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. And heck, they’re adding goodies like ray tracing and some fancy lighting. Even the checkpoints are getting some love. Not gonna lie, that stuff can make or break a game. Bonus: it’s Switch 2 bound as well.
In October 2025, horror buffs are in for a treat. Not just Little Nightmares 3. Nah, there’s Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2, The Kharzov Effect, other chilling tales like Confined: Leaving OKB-134, and The Blessing of Airon. Doll Town and Tezcatlipoca mixed in too. Plus Besmirch, H9, and Directive 8020—that one’s straight from Supermassive.
So yeah, October’s shaping up to be a horror fest. Whether you dive into Little Nightmares or any of the other spine-chillers, there’s plenty of haunt to go around. Spooky stuff, right? Can’t wait. Or maybe I can… eh, who knows.
