Alright, so here’s the deal. Little Nightmares 3—yes, the eerie and adorable horror game—is causing a bit of a buzz again. There’s this thing coming up called the Little Nightmares Showcase, slotted in for June 24. Funny enough, it first popped into our consciences during that chaotic reveal at Gamescom in August 2023. Two years after Little Nightmares 2, if you’re keeping track—though if you ask me, time feels kind of wibbly-wobbly these days.
Now brace yourself for a bit of a plot twist: 2024 was the initial target for release, but guess what? It got shuffled to 2025. So yeah, quiet whispers in the dark for over a year, and then bam, we get smacked with this event announcement. Not gonna lie, feels like finding an unexpected marshmallow in your cereal.
Now, about these shake-ups. Tarsier Studios, the original minds behind this franchise, got scooped up by Embracer Group in 2019. So yeah, they’ve moved on to new endeavors. Enter Supermassive Games, the new maestros with a knack for atmospheric horror—think Until Dawn and whatnot. People are pretty jazzed about this match-up for Little Nightmares 3.
Visual sidebar: Imagine a carnival sign—random, I know—but that’s what blinked up on Twitter with the announcement. I guess wonder is in the air. No clue on where you can watch this event, though. Twitch? YouTube? Roll the dice, maybe?
Let’s chat showcase. It’s right after the Summer Game Fest ruckus, which seems… peculiar? Right? Perhaps Bandai Namco wants to let their spooky darling have its solo spotlight moment. Fingers crossed for an actual release date, or maybe even a demo. Just spitballing here, really.
Meanwhile, Tarsier’s got this thing cooking called Reanimal. Definitely sounds like it’s charting Little Nightmares territory. Not much on updates since August 2024. Are they going toe-to-toe with Little Nightmares 3 in 2025? Eh, your guess is as good as mine.
At the end of this existential musing, you wonder how these little nightmares will unfold into your nightmares or dreams. Feels like stories within stories, layers waiting to be peeled back. Who knows really, but if you’ve got a spooky heart, 2025 might just be your lucky year.
