Little Nightmares 3 looks like the creepiest entry yet

Playing Starfield and wondering why the NPCs look like they’re dead inside? One developer reckons they’ve worked out why.

The early anticipated follow-up to Hollow Knight is creeping closer to the top of Steam's chart for the most wish-listed games – in fact, Hollow Knight: Silksong will likely take the top spot later this month.

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.

Ubisoft classic Beyond Good & Evil is getting another re-release, according to a listing which has popped up via the US game ratings board.

The world of Pokémon media is expanding. A new, live-action Pokémon drama premiering this fall will focus on the impact of the game on a former fan’s life — not on the Pokémon themselves. The show will air in October in Japan, according to a tweet from Japanese TV company Tokyo TV, translated by Pokémon website Serebii.

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.

Netflix released the first trailer on Tuesday for The Killer, David Fincher’s latest psychological action thriller starring Michael Fassbender as a methodical and highly trained assassin undergoing a crisis of conscience while on assignment in Paris. The trailer is quintessential Fincher: a fast-cut montage of scenes of Fassbender narrating his gradual psychological breakdown filled with sickly yellow hues and icy turquoise lighting, powered by an ominous, thrumming electronic score by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross.

One trailer at this week's Future Games Show (embedded above, or on YouTube) was not like the others. Outside of some obvious throwbacks to classic game genres, particularly retro RPGs, Dome-King Cabbage bears little resemblance to the other games we've seen at Gamescom so far. It's described on its Steam page as «a visual novel set in the world of a monster-collecting RPG,» but that phrase does little to indicate the surreal mixed media variety show the trailer makes it out to be.

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.
