Little Nightmares Showcase Recap: Release Dates, Editions, and a Surprise VR Announcement
DaRmaZat Bandai Namco’s showcase today delivered a wave of news for Little Nightmares fans, including a release date for Little Nightmares III, confirmation of an enhanced re-release of the original game, and a mysterious teaser for a VR project. Here’s everything revealed.

The game follows Low and Alone, two children trapped in a distorted world called the Nowhere. Players must rely on their unique tools—a bow and a wrench—and each other to survive disturbing environments filled with monstrous “Residents.” Locations range from desert ruins to candy factories and twisted amusement parks.
