Little Nightmares 3 has just been announced and it's like a creepy It Takes Two

Fans of the franchise have highly anticipated Alan Wake 2. It’s a game that’s been in the works for Remedy Entertainment for quite a few years, too. However, the video game has finally been approved, and the developers are now finally getting ready to reach the finish line. With that said, we know the game will be arriving next month, and while we wait for the game to reach the marketplace, there is a new video drop from IGN highlighting an early mission for Alan Wake 2.

Supermassive Games has confirmed that Little Nightmares 3 will not feature couch co-op in order for players to be able to experience the game's true horror. 

The Little Nightmares franchise has always felt like it would be a perfect fit for co-op, given the fact that both games so far have put the spotlight on two core characters each, and though the series has remained exclusively single player so far, the recently-announced Little Nightmares 3 will be changing that- with a significant caveat though.

Little Nightmares made a triumphant return at Gamescom this year, with a third game announced two years after the release of the last game in 2021. Unlike the first two games, Little Nightmares 3 is being developed by Supermassive Games. And with this new team comes an all-new feature: co-op with another human player - as long as you don't mind playing online.

Horror master Supermassive Games has revealed that the reason Little Nightmares 3 only features online co-op is to ensure playing with a friend doesn't detract from the horror game's signature «atmosphere and immersion».

Nintendo has announced the new Mario Red Edition Nintendo Switch OLED console, and it's going to be available on October 6, 2023. Pre-orders are available now through Nintendo directly with a price of $349.99. 

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, one Star Wars character went up against Luke Skywalker and was immediately defeated – without being touched. 

Little Nightmares 3 was initially announced in October 2021, but things have been fairly quiet since it was first spoken about. After two years of waiting, the game received its first reveal trailer at Gamescom Opening Night Live in August, and we’ve got a fair amount of information to start building an idea of what this indie game will look and play like when it arrives next year. 

Little Nightmares 3 doesn't have a firm release date, but preorders are now open for the cooperative adventure.

The Little Nightmares series will continue with a third entry on PS5, PS4 next year, developed by Until Dawn, The Dark Pictures studio Supermassive Games. The original team Tarsier Studios was acquired by the Embracer Group in 2021 but publisher Bandai Namco owns the IP. Check out the announcement trailer above.

Every year at gamescom, awards are given out in a variety of categories including the award for best trailer and announcement, which this year belongs to Supermassive Games and Bandai Namco's Little Nightmares 3.

Released back in 2018, the first Little Nightmares was a simple yet effective horror platformer that got the creepiness factor just right. Exploring the nightmarish world of Six, we could take our eyes away — despite how much we wanted to.
